Reviews with content warning for Blood - Nimona

This was a delightful quick read/listen. The audiobook was really well done and highlighted the humor of the story. I'm definitely going to hunt down a copy of the physical book for a reread. Nimona is a chaotic character full of energy and mischief and I hope we get more of her energy one day!

The story starts with Nimona signing herself up to be a villian's sidekick but you'll have to decide if its Lord Ballister Blackheart or the Institution who is the real villian.

I previously watched the movie Nimona when it was first released on Netflix and absolutely adored it and related to the trials of the characters much more than I was expecting. I felt that the movie was powerful, moving and had a wonderfully complex message about society and how we treat its ‘villains’. I’m overjoyed to report that the graphic novel Nimona which it is based on is, in many ways, even better. The plot is filled with twists and turns, the relationships between the main cast is darker and more intense and it has even funnier moment than in the film. Both the graphic novel and its film adaptation are wonderful, it truly show a story from all sides and tells a tale that anyone who has been made to feel like an outcast and a ‘villain’ can connect with. A must read!

I loved the book. It's a great story of forgiveness, finding yourself, loving others, and friendship. It's witty and funny with a strong story and touching moments.

I had to re-read this after the Netflix movie came out (which is also ⚡️METAL⚡️ as hell), and it still holds up. Art is kinetic and fluid, the story is somehow simultaneously goofy and emotive and poignant and the characterisation is on point. Sure, the pacing can be odd, but such are webcomics. ND Stevenson, well done dude you cooked with this one.
