Our Story

Defiant Media Comics was founded in 2014 by Joshua L. Padgett along with Harvin Rua (Art Design), Exavier Poole (Writer), and David Sanchez (Producer) with 2 goals in mind...Tell a story and Make Something Great! In late 2015, Defiant Media Comics launched its first title, The Great Resistance, with little reaction. In fact, Issue #1 of The Great Resistance only sold 57 copies in the US. However, something unexpected happened when a tourist bought a copy of Issue #1 and took it back to his home country of Colombia. Within 30 days of our failed launch we had brokered a deal with a printshop in Colombia and had a standing order for 12,000 copies of Issue #1. The demand began to grow but only in South American countries and by the end of 2016 we had sold over 100,000 copies of Issue #1!

2017 brought a new challenge, re-launch and re-brand The Great Resistance title. Our #Resist won us a lot of fans in our South American advertising campaign but with a new, highly charged political climate in the US this campaign was presenting new challenges. #Resist was already trending and using the hashtag seemed like a good idea, but it wasn’t. We didn’t want to take a political stance we wanted to take a human stance and that’s when Defiant Media Comics did something amazing.

On January 17, 2017, we paired with an amazing group called, Operation Hope, a Su***de Prevention Team and since then have changed our call sign to #StandStrong. Su***de statistics are staggering; 44,965 deaths in the US per year from su***de, making it the 10th leading cause of death. Our goal is to not only to support a group that is putting a tourniquet on that number but also helping with life after attempting su***de.
