Wasted Space is a sometimes thrilling, sometimes slow religious/sci-fi drama. It also features some very polarizing art with beautiful coloring. Not essential, but worth a look.

This was a quirky and unique volume, and I loved it! If you're looking for something different than anything else out there, consider giving Wasted Space a try! It's heavily science fiction, with a dash of existentialism thrown into the mix, and then a little bit of chaos put on top.

I got a free copy of this from diamond books distributors & I was intrigued to how I’d find an action graphic novel (more typical comic book stuff)
At first, it wasn’t my thing, I feel like their eyes were all really weird & I’ve heard a couple people describe it as sketchy, which I agree with. But I pushed on (I mean, they’re only short) and I enjoyed it more! I can’t say I would go for something like this again but it did sort of remind me of guardians of the galaxy in a way (which I liked so...)

Not my usual sort of reading, Sci-Fi never is, but this gave me a Guardians of the Galaxy crossed with the Watchmen sort of feel. I enjoyed it.

The artwork in this is simply GREAT and so is the story: it has Big Lebowski vibes with 70s' sci-fi comic esthetics, and I loved it.

*I received a free copy of "Wasted Space, Vol. 1" by Diamond Book Distributors. Thanks for the free graphic novel*
"Take a sip and get wasted." That was really wild, what a ride! Billy Bane is a prophet but even though the Creator is speaking to him, things went wrong and the galaxy is mainly war, death and chaos. Now Bane just wants to be left in peace...and drink with his bro Dust, a giant, blue, funny Fuq bot. When another prophet comes along, Bane is supposed to save the galaxy, but he'd rather not.
Action packed, well-written and beautifully drawn graphic novel which reminded me a bit of the Saga comics style-wise. I liked all the characters, their backgrounds and the epic scale of the narrative. Thought this was better than the "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies and sometimes even funnier.
I want Bruce Willis to either play Dust or Bane in a sort of "Die Hard" or "The Fifth Element" style!
Bane: "But this is wrong. I *know* this is wrong."
The Creator: "Right, wrong...these ceonceptions are a little above your pay grade, silly. Besides, if there's one thing humanity loves, is an existence fraught with conflict. Sure, you'll *say* you want peace and justice and all these noble things. But do you *really*?"
5 Stars, I am highly entertained and emotionally invested in this.

This was alright. Not really sure what Moreci is attempting to say in this, but I am willing to stick around to read more.
Dig the world building at play, even if it means too hard on various tropes of sci-fi.
