A hundred years after the Big Wet, Earth is broken - a barren and infertile world where the few survivors struggle for survival. When Michael, a scavenger bearing strange gifts, calls at the shanty town of Providence, the effects are devastating. Now the townsfolk must cross the deadly wasteland to Newbegin, a nearby city where the past meets the new status quo. But Newbegin's cruel dictator is busy oppressing anyone not belonging to his church — which includes the Providence survivors.

One hundred years after the world-changing event known as ?the Big Wet? the world is a vastly changed place. Refugees, political in-fighting, religious persecution, and vicious attacks from savage tribes all are just part of why Comic Book Savant called Wasteland ""100% comic goodness!"

One hundred years after the world-changing catastrophe known as the "Big Wet", the city of Newbegin faces its most dangerous challenge yet - an army of Sand-Eaters bent on destruction! Jakob joins the Watch to defend the city, and intrigue grips the council, as politics, religion, and high explosives combine to make a book that The Onion AV Club said, "Radiates in about a dozen conceptual and philosophical dimensions at once... in essence and execution, it rivals Hayao Miyazaki's masterful epic Nausicaä"!
