On the Stump #1 is over the top insanity. The concept is so out there and a hell of a lot of fun. It pokes fun at the current political climate while also recognizing where we're at as a society. It's a funhouse mirror reflection of our reality. It's also a debut we're casting a ballot for. Read Full Review

The title is honestly one of the best I've read in a while. I'm generally not a fan of politics in my books but in this instance, it adds to the flavor of the story and works. The comic also does something cool and unique with the political backdrop that I'd never seen before.
