Nimona: A Netflix Film, a Graphic Novel Paperback - 2015 - 1st Edition
by ND Stevenson; ND Stevenson (Illustrator)
Reader reviews for Nimona: A Netflix Film, a Graphic Novel
Review summary
Readers broadly praised Nimona for sharp, lively character work—especially the chaotic yet endearing title shapeshifter and her tender, witty rapport with the principled “villain” Ballister Blackheart—and for upending hero/villain conventions. Many admired how its humor gives way to a darker emotional core exploring identity, trauma, and corrupt institutions. Stevenson’s clean, expressive art won fans, though a minority found the style or lettering off-putting. Common qualms included a rushed or tonally abrupt ending, sparse worldbuilding, and a romance some wished were clearer or more fully reckoned with; even so, most deemed it a brisk, affecting read for a wide audience.

From the publisher
From the rear cover
Nimona is an impulsive young shape-shifter 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.
Nemeses!
Dragons!
Science!
Symbolism!
All these and more await in this brilliantly subversive, sharply irreverent epic from Noelle Stevenson, based on her award-winning web comic.
