Wasteland #22

Written by Antony Johnston
Art by Christopher Mitten


Wasteland has to be one of the most consistent books on the stands. With every issue, Johnston and Mitten deliver a compelling, well-paced story.

In this issue, we see more of Michael and Abi tied up by the Dog Tribes, and we learn a little bit more about the mysterious individual that tried to help them last issue.

We also meet a new nomad, Gerr, about whom very little is revealed.

One of the best things about Wasteland is the 'Walking the Dust' back-up text piece, wherein a woman writes about her experiences exploring the world. These pieces are excellent examples of the depth to which Johnston has mapped out his fictional world.

The third trade of this series is out this week - I encourage anyone not reading this series to pick up one of the trades and get hooked. You won't regret it.
