Nuanced and uncompromising in its portrayal of trauma after discrimination, it still serves as a cute and heartfelt fantasy adventure with lovely character building and a mature narrative.

Be aware that there is non-consensual experimentation, unhealthy coping mechanisms for rage, and the guilt over disabling a loved one.

I’m so grateful that this graphic novel exists so that the movie can exist. The movie is executed better. It was more cohesive, felt more emotional and had higher stakes.

But the characters are still here, still true to themselves and I love them so much <3

-Anti hero
-Disability and mlm rep
-reluctant father figure/found family
-villain vs good guy
-literal chaos goblin

If you love Nimona’s energy, I recommend the book Little Thieves by Margaret Owen.
If you like Nimona and Ballister’s dynamic, watch The Last of Us.

I liked this a lot more than the movie honestly. Lots of gore and violence! I like that this doesn't shy away from getting super dark. Love the art style too.
