Get Your First Look at the Fuq Bots & False Religions of Wasted Space

What if Preacher took place on an intergalactic scale, with a blue-skinned weapons-grade “Fuq Bot” riding shotgun for a jaded former prophet more interested in getting high than communicating messages from on high? Black Star Renegades author Michael Moreci, Cold War artist Hayden Sherman and God Country colorist Jason Wordie answer that question in Wasted Space, which launches from Vault Comics on April 18, 2018, with cynicism to spare—and some Kirby-esque space gods hovering at the edges of the plot. Paste has an exclusive first look at interior art of Billy Bane and the rest of the cast below, which shows a more precise side of Sherman’s art than the impressionistic Cold War and The Few. We’re also thrilled to debut the Wasted Space trailer, which brings the team’s work to vibrant, animated life.

Wasted Space #1
Writer: Michael Moreci
Artist: Hayden Sherman
Colorist: Jason Wordie
Publisher: Vault Comics
Release Date: April 18, 2018
Billy Bane is a prophet who got it all wrong, and the galaxy has been burning ever since. All he wants is to waste away in the darkest corner of space with his best pal Dust, a supercharged Fuq Bot. But when a new prophet comes calling, Billy is summoned to save the galaxy he’s at least partially responsible for destroying. Too bad he couldn’t care less. Michael Moreci and Hayden Sherman have thrown Philip K. Dick in a blender with Preacher. Take a sip and get wasted.
