Nimona is a fun fantasy comic read. The characters are quite good. The world is inventive and specific. The web comic strip origin is quite apparent. Some chapters feel too slight but then others feel loaded with twists and turns. I liked the story, I get the appeal. It felt a bit thin. At points it could have used further panels expanding on what certain characters were doing. I liked it. I wouldn’t say it’s my new favorite standalone comic but I’m glad I read it.

The themes can be heavy but the depictions in the art is all of moderate to light. Maybe only give this at youngest to a tween-younger teen.

My first read for this round of the #QueerLitReadathon, and it was fabulous! I sometimes struggle with how fast I read graphic novels, as it doesn’t give me as much time to sink into a story. But this world building was so unique and noteworthy that I didn’t have that issue. I loved the blending of medieval power dynamics with a modern day superhero/villian plot structure. Like all the fun of The Incredibles but with swords and armor and dragons! The exploration of dangerous institutional structures is quite timely and adds a layer of complexity to what is also a fun, comical adventure. It’s both lighthearted and full of heart, if that makes sense. I love these characters, and if a movie does actually come out, I will watch that in a second!
