![]() The book is, to put it simply, a delight from start to finish. I’m just throwing out questions here, don’t read too much into it. But is Goldenloin the hero and Blackheart the anti-hero, or is Blackheart actually the hero undermining a corrupt government, with Goldenloin being on the other side? It’s also about the fraught relationship between Blackheart and his archnemesis, the subtly named Sir Goldenloin, as Blackheart attempts to bring down the government and Goldenloin staunchly defends it. It’s about a small person named Nimona (surprise), who desperately wants to be a sidekick to the baddest supervillain around, the aptly named Balister Blackheart, and the psychotic shenanigannery she engages in to get the job and to keep it. I have some thoughts on how I would have appreciated it differently had I read it as a webcomic rather than a book, but they won’t make sense until I go back and address the “What is it about” question, which I will do right now. Are there a lot of graphic novels nominated for that? I don’t know if you wanna research that, feel free to do so and then comment or tweet at me to expose my ignorance. I hadn’t heard of the webcomic, of course, so I approached it as a book, which it most certainly is at this point - it was even a finalist for the National Book Award in 2015. Nimona is a graphic novel by Noelle Stevenson, based on her webcomic. Nimona is not just a regular book made of words, like the ones I usually review here. I’ll get to that, but with Nimona, I feel like I need to step back even further and first answer the question of: “What IS it?” Usually, the primary question to answer when introducing a book or movie or TV episode is: “What is it about?” So I took a deep breath, bought a copy, and hoped it would, in fact, be fun.
