About this eBook

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.

Nimona is a really cool graphic novel about a girl who can turn into a monster. She teams up with a knight to clear her name and prove that she's not as bad as everyone thinks. It's got a lot of action, humor, and heart. I really liked the art style and the characters are super fun. It's a great story about friendship and accepting people for who they are.

Nimona is a really cool movie! It's got a great mix of action, humor, and heart. The animation is amazing, and the characters are super fun. I especially love Nimona, she's so quirky and unpredictable. It's a great movie for anyone who likes fantasy and adventure.

read it while she was still writing it, and the character growth, world building and art development were awesome to behold. 10/10 will shark again 7 years later edit: I read it as it was originally published on Tumblr, and bought it as soon as the book came out. Now, many years later, it is so interesting to look back and see both Nate's evolution as their own person and the story changes from comic to adaptation. Both are for the better. Cheers, Nate.
