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.

Set in a world that blends science fiction with fantasy, Nimona effortlessly plays with tropes, weaving a narrative that is as much about finding your own place in the world as it is about the relationships that define us. The series explores identity, power, and the gray areas between good and evil through its offbeat characters and sharp wit. Nimona’s wild antics and Lord Blackheart’s steady, if frustrated, moral compass form the perfect juxtaposition, making their journey not just a series of battles but a deep exploration of what it means to belong.
As readers dive into this unpredictable world, they’ll find themselves constantly questioning: who is the real villain, and who is the hero? In its pages, Nimona offers more than just adventure and humor—it invites readers to challenge the conventions of storytelling, making them rethink everything they know about heroes, villains, and the complicated truth that lies in between.
Blending heart, humor, and a touch of chaos, Nimona remains an unforgettable tale that stands out in the graphic novel world for its boldness and depth. Whether you’re looking for laugh-out-loud moments, unexpected plot twists, or a touching exploration of friendship and self-identity, this series offers it all, in a way that only Nimona can deliver.
