You don't read WASTELAND. The way I know that is that not enough people read WASTELAND, and if everyone reading this read WASTELAND its sales would be three times the level they are ...
WASTELAND is probably the only other post-apocalyptic comic written by bald Englishmen that you should be reading right now. They have a website and everything -- including Antony Johnston's soundtrack for WASTELAND, even, which is a wonderful idea.
And if you like that, there's five collections to be had, with delicious covers by my own mate Mr Benjamin Witchity Templesmith of the Australian Colony.]]>

Thank you!

Have all the singles. I'm a bit concerned for this title as it's very late and only has 2 issues left that have been solicited back in the AUG Previews. Hope it's not cancelled.

...and this is probably as good a time as any to apologise for the delay of issue #27. It’s due to personal circumstances outside of our control, and that’s about as much as I’m prepared to say. Rest assured that no-one is more frustrated about the delay than us, but these things happen, and we beg your patience for a few weeks more.

I did see that Warren. However that quote only accounts for #27 not the future of the series which was the main point of my post.

Soarer: you're worrying over nothing. WASTELAND is fine, our future is assured, and we're taking it all the way to the end. This book is my labour of love, and I'm seeing it through come hell or high ...
We haven't solicited beyond those issues yet because, unlike some publishers and creators, we don't like to solicit issues we know we can't ship on time. As I said on my website, #27 is delayed, but coming as soon as we can, and once we've crossed that hump we all hope that we can get back on track. I believe, in fact, that #30 is to be solicited in the next PREVIEWS catalogue. If the series was cancelled, we'd tell people — especially if it was happening within the next two issues (!)

Oh, and I just finished re-reading Spooked, which is awesome and by the same writer and artist Ross Campbell and from Oni. Recommended as well. And Closer, by Johnston and Mike Norton. And--
You know what? What you do is you buy a trade or two of Wasteland,. And if, as the awesome Mr. Johnston notes above, you figure it isn't for you-- you work your way through this. And even if Wasteland IS for you, you should look over that list anyway. Because I have yet to find anyone who hasn't liked at least ONE of his books, if not more.]]>

I, uh, wouldn't advise that. You'll be waiting at least another three years. You can "safely" read up to #20, if you like — that's a good, clean break in the story.
Issues #1 and #2 are both completely sold out, sorry. Sets of the first few issues do crop up on eBay from time to time, though.]]>
