Bringing Hope to the End of the World
So, what exactly is Wasteland Comics? We’re so glad you asked!
We’re an independent comics publisher based in the Los Angeles area and run by a few pretty awesome people (if we do say so ourselves). We aim to bring some light and hope to the post-apocalyptic genre through stories set in vast worlds with dynamic characters—and on top of all that, we love getting to highlight environmental issues and support the LGBTQIA+ community and people of color through representation in comics for middle grade readers and up. So come join us as we bring a little hope to the end of the world.

Bringing Fun to a Desolate Landscape
The vast Wasteland in GLITCH could be considered a character all on its own, with its harsh, desolate landscape littered with Old World technology and its communities running on renewable energy. But it's also bursting with colorful actual characters who breathe new life into the typically bleak post-apocalyptic genre by providing refreshing levity and hope even in the most dire of circumstances.
From lone scavengers delving into Old World ruins to survive, to malicious bandit clans ready to take what they need at any cost, to sprawling pockets of civilization led by powerful and charismatic leaders, there are plenty of characters and factions to fall in love with, hate with a burning passion, and everything in between!
