The Escapist talks with writer Antony Johnston about Wasteland, his post-apocalyptic series with artist Christopher Mitten: “A post-apocalypse world gives you the opportunity to create the world anew, but keeping enough familiar touchstones that you’re not stepping fully outside a reader’s comfort zone. So there’s all the weird stuff — the landscape and environment, the almost mediaeval society of the cities, the new language and slang, and in [the] Wasteland itself of course the psychic powers and the new mythology of The Big Wet — but there’s also persecution of minorities, ideological conflict, violence, betrayal and power struggles. People are still people, you know?”
