Nimona
Graphic Novel
Stevenson, N. (2015).
Nimona. China: HarperCollins.
Ballister Blackheart was once a good knight who loses his
arm in an accident. He decides to become a villain because no one wants or
would believe in a one-armed hero. Alone comes Nimona, a helpful shape shifting
girl (transforming into another creature) who was more than eager to become his
sidekick. Together they wreak havoc across the kingdom. They are on a mission
to prove that Sir Ambrosius Goldenlion and his buddies are not the heroes
everyone thinks they are. Blackheart quickly realizes his sidekick as a past
and a mind of her own. This journey is filled with wit, rescues of allies,
friends and ultimately themselves.
Reflection
Nimona is a
full-color graphic novel for those who are fans of web comics. I am not a fan
of graphic novels, but this one surprised me. I thought the relationship
between Blackheart and Nimona was going to be like a mentor-mentee situation
but it turned out to be just the opposite with a lot of humor and flare.
