You know what’s an interesting task? Summing up an entire comic book with a single word. Because Nikki Sherman and I are insane, we teamed up for this new column, “30 Comics, 30 Words”. This column will drop on the last day of each month, and will feature 30 comics, each described by a single word….but there’s a catch: no word can be repeated during the lifespan of this column. So, each month get ready for 30 words about 30 comics from around the industry!
