BONDS
In an alternate take on “Journey to the West”, Son Goku and Sanzo have only just begun their long journey, and trust doesn’t come easily. Their already shaky bond is tested further when Sanzo’s misgivings lead to a rift between the two. Is the journey over before it even begins, or is it true that adversity is what forges unshakable bonds?

A cute little one-shot comic with nice art. Would love to read a full-length Journey to the West from Zenzo. As it is this is the kind of thing that should be bundled with other material in a collection, not printed standalone. But best of luck to Manga Mavericks! I'll keep reading their small press releases
