Summer’s coming to a close but the wild world of comics never stops coming at us. Nikki Powers and I are back with 30 more single-word reviews of 30 different comics released in the month of August, and despite all odds we’re still managing to not overlap words. If you missed last month’s first edition of 30 Comics, 30 Words, here’s the scoop: 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!
