Staff Reviews


I started reading this book when it was still an online comic, and I waited impatiently for entire weeks just to read the next page!! Noelle Stevenson is a brilliant artist and storywriter, creating a many-layered story that gives something different to each person on each reading.
Nimona has everything: a great girl superhero, an amputee protagonist, humor and silliness for kids, darkness for bigger kids, magic, science, dragons, sharks, rhinos, cute kitties, mystery, rebellion - Nimona is my hero and I never get tired of this book, and neither will you.

— Katelynne Shimkus

A very different take on the age-old battle between good and evil and this time from the perspective of a villain and his shape-shifting spunky sidekick, Nimona. — Miya Molinelli

Nimona is a really fun graphic novel filled with strong characters, great humor and a fantastic plot. Every aspect of the book is interesting and extremely enjoyable. A good quick read that'll stick with you for days after you finish it.

Description


Now a Netflix animated film!

Nimona is the New York Times bestselling graphic novel sensation from ND Stevenson, based on his beloved and critically acclaimed web comic. Kirkus says, “If you’re going to read one graphic novel this year, make it this one.”

Nemeses! Dragons! Science! Symbolism! All these and more await in this brilliantly subversive, sharply irreverent epic from ND Stevenson. Featuring an exclusive epilogue not seen in the web comic, along with bonus conceptual sketches and revised pages throughout, this gorgeous full-color graphic novel has been hailed by critics and fans alike as the arrival of a “superstar” talent (NPR.org).

Nimona is an impulsive young shapeshifter with a knack for villainy. Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a vendetta. As sidekick and supervillain, Nimona and Lord Blackheart are about to wreak some serious havoc. Their mission: prove to the kingdom that Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and his buddies at the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics aren't the heroes everyone thinks they are.

But as small acts of mischief escalate into a vicious battle, Lord Blackheart realizes that Nimona's powers are as murky and mysterious as her past. And her unpredictable wild side might be more dangerous than he is willing to admit.

“Sharp visuals, a nifty amalgam of fantasy and science fiction elements, and relationships drawn with complexity, wit, and depth create a world worth returning to again and again.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“[Stevenson’s] voice is clear and precise, [his] drawings confident, [his] use of color growing in depth and assurance as the story progresses.” — New York Times

“Nimona…is beautifully flawed and refreshingly unstereotypical in a book that is both darkly witty and surprisingly touching. And Nimona is a protagonist to both love and fear.” — The Horn Book
