Get WASTED online
“Wasted is a nihilistic poem of violence and love gone wrong, one of the most intense and uncompromising portrayals of insanity that I've seen in print with a touch of failed romance that makes it something we can all relate to in our darkest moments.” --Randy Lander, SNAP JUDGEMENTS at The Fourth Rail, 2004
"A recent graphic novel of note, by Filipino writer/artist Gerry Alanguilan. A marvellous little black book of lost love, unhinged hatred for everything everywhere, and making things right using only guns. Early work by a potentially brilliant creator." --Warren Ellis, 1998
Mr. Lander and Mr. Ellis were obviously talking about Gerry Alanguilan’s WASTED, which quickly sold out back in 1998 and even though it was reprinted later on, is currently out of stock.
So, for those of you who didn’t get to pick up the original / Xeroxed edition during the mid-90s and if you didn’t get to buy the trade paperback in 1998 and if you weren’t a big fan of Pulp magazine --where it was serialized-- and if you somehow didn’t know if was re-released by Pulp in its “Final Edition” format, well 2007 is your luck year because the entire story of WASTED is being serialized at: http://wastedonline.blogspot.com/
WAIT! DON’T! CLICK! THAT! LINK! JUST! YET!
If you’ve never, ever read a single page of WASTED, then you need to start reading it here:

Gerry started uploading it a week ago, so you can now read the complete first chapter of WASTED. The neat thing about reading it at the Web Comics Nation website is that Gerry provides “bonus DVD commentaries” for every page; revealing trivia about the art, the story, and reason behind it all.
So, once you’re up to speed, go bookmark http://wastedonline.blogspot.com/ and make it a daily habit to click on that link to read the latest page.
If you’ve already read WASTED, then I’m just preaching to choir, so be a good disciple and spam your friends about the online version of the graphic novel. You might want to send it someone who’s feeling a bit down today and need some cheering up.
WASTED is like a Hallmark Card, except it’s a bit bloody and violent and has a sex scene and lots of people get shot; but it definitely has very poetic words. Reading it will either make people smirk or laugh or cringe or say, “Wow! I thought I was having a bad day,” and feel a whole lot better.
Spread the word, kiddies!
