Review: The Ballad of Ronan #1
By Dustin Cabeal

How do we expect 16-year-olds to go out into the world and support themselves when they’re not even legal adults?

By Dustin Cabeal
It’s been a long while since I’ve reviewed Zombie Tramp and admittedly, even longer since I’ve read it.

There was a time you could jump into any comic no matter the numbering, and with a few issues you’d get the story or be there for the next chapter. Everything I learned about comics was done in this way; no shiny #1’s needed.
