Comic book writer Warren Ellis considered Wasted "an early work by a potentially brilliant creator".

[1] Wasted tells the story of Eric, a musician who loses his dad and his girlfriend, and goes on a rampage in the city looking for twisted justice and ultimately, death.

Wasted was Gerry Alanguilan's first self-written comic, and was originally intended for only Alanguilan's close friends to read, as he was embarrassed by the large amount of violence and profanity in the title.

Wasted: Confession is a tie-in story written and drawn by Gerry Alanguilan that was first released in 2009.

The story is set in between issues 3 and 4 of the main comic, showing Eric react to an 'innocent' bystander horrified by his recent rampage.
