Nimona by Noelle Stephenson is a complete and utter delight of a graphic novel both in terms of story and in terms of art.
The title character is a plucky, persistent shapeshifter who forces her way into the life of super villain Lord Ballister Blackheart. Together Blackheart and Nimona create evil plans, often featuring dragons, to destroy Blackheart nemesis and former friend Sir Ambrose Goldenloin.
Fans of stories with strong female protagonists, science, and the occasional shark appearance will love this story of an unlikely partnership.
This graphic novel is the winner of the Slate Cartoonist Studio Prize for Best Web Comic and a nominee for the Harvey Award for Best Online Comics Work.
If you would like a sneak preview, check this out. Then come to library and check out the rest of the book. Just make sure you have your ID card.
