Wasteland Preview

[Now Playing| Kirby CC - DS]

Antony Johnston, the awesome comic book writer that I interviewed about a week ago, spoke about his new project, Wasteland. Again collaborating with the extremely talented Christopher Mitten, who also drew Johnston’s Queen & Country arc, Wasteland will be an ongoing series from Oni Press.

Wasteland takes place a hundred years after the Big Wet, a catastrophe that brought the oceans rushing inland and destroyed modern civilization. No one knows what really caused the Big Wet, but the result is a barren, devastated world bereft of much of the life we take for granted. The sky is cloudless, dim and grey. There are no birds flying in it, and no trees for them to nest in if there were. The oceans are dank and poisonous, and no-one dares eat the fish that manage to survive in it. The great rivers are dry, or vanished into the ocean. Cattle, horses, sheep, all gone. Instead, people use goats and dogs as both working animals. Thousands of species are extinct, of both animals and plants. In short, it’s not a pretty place.
