Day 3 of WonderCon! Let’s go! ☀️

Day 2, here we come! If you’re at WonderCon, stop by Hall A’s Small Press Pavilion, Table SP-41, and say hi. 😊

Ready for WonderCon Day 1! Special thanks to my helper for the day: my awesome mom! ☀️

A desert background with text overlayed on it: GLITCH 1. Welcome to the Wasteland “And now, the Wasteland was all that was left: an arid desert harsh enough to make life difficult, sometimes unbearable, but at least not impossible.” After Worlds End Substack afterworldsend.substack.com

A desert background featuring cacti with text overlayed on it: GLITCH 2. Two’s Company, the Cactus Clan’s a Crowd “Their spike-covered bikes and the rust bucket sidecars attached to them, along with their colorful punk aesthetic, were unmistakable: the Cactus Clan.” After Worlds End Substack afterworldsend.substack.com

A background featuring an opening futuristic door with text overlayed on it: GLITCH 3. A Not-So-Routine Delve “A chill crawled down Ari’s spine. Her eyes widened in horrified realization as a figure slowly and deliberately emerged from the shadows below.” After Worlds End Substack afterworldsend.substack.com

The first three chapters of Glitch’s rough draft are now up on Substack and free to read! Comments are open so if you have any feedback to share, I’d love to hear it. ☀️

New year = new goals:

☀️ Finish and self-publish Glitch
☀️ Write every day (no matter how little)
☀️ Post and engage more on socials
☀️ Write at least one short story each month
☀️ Finish a draft of Glitch’s sequel, The Swarm

Thanks for being with me on this journey. Let’s make this year amazing.

And that’s a wrap on L.A. Comic Con Day 3! It was another pretty slow day, but I had a blast meeting and catching up with super cool people. Here are a few who stopped by to grab GLITCH! (And of course, I forgot to get photos of some people, but they’re just as fantastic, I promise.)

Day 2 of L.A. Comic Con was a bit slower than expected, but still a great time thanks to some awesome interactions with attendees. ☀️ I remembered to get photos of a few of these awesome people 😎 but forgot some because conventions turn my brain to mush. 🫠

Keeping the Fire Alive When Passion Faces Adversity and Uncertainty

July’s newsletter was tough to write. But the short of it is this: GLITCH, as a comic, is on an indefinite hiatus as its artist has left the project. I’ll search for a new artist, but in the meantime, I’ll be adapting and continuing GLITCH as a series of novels to ensure fans get a complete story.

Thanks so much to everyone who visited my table at Whittier Comic Fest today! And special thanks to my awesome table helper: my mom! Here are a few of the cool folks who entered the Wasteland.☀️

She’s at a table with a gold tablecloth and a black table runner with the Wasteland Comics logo on it. The table is full of GLITCH comics and merchandise.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by my booth at SFS Art Fest this weekend! I had a really fun time, and it was great meeting so many people in my own hometown. 😊

We wish you a Happy New Year, scavs! Even more adventures lie ahead in 2025. ☀️

A square cropped image of Blane (a punk with a spiked mohawk) saying “This is the tale of Abasneezer Dood…”

Today, you COULD read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Or—hear us out—you could read A Cactus Carol instead. Written by Sarah Landauer, with wonderful art by Lane Lloyd, and lettered by James Vanderah, it’s only $0.99 to download! What are you waiting for??? Head on over to our website now! 🌵🎁

End of year lists are great and many/ most creators recognized are deserving of attention. But making comics (especially now) is hard. IF you made a comic in 2024 and you still want to make them in 2025... you deserve laurels too.
Congrats to everyone who wants to keep on keeping on.

#HappyHolidays from The Wasteland! Celebrate the season with a new 8-page short comic, A CACTUS CAROL, available at WastelandComics.com for only $0.99! 🎁
