The graphic novel
debut from rising star Noelle Stevenson, based on her beloved and
critically acclaimed web comic, which Slate awarded its Cartoonist
Studio Prize, calling it "a deadpan epic."
Nemeses! Dragons!
Science! Symbolism! All these and more await in this brilliantly
subversive, sharply irreverent epic from Noelle 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 is perfect for the legions of fans of the web
comic and is sure to win Noelle many new ones.
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. @goodreads
