My reading comprehension isn't good enough to understand that ending. Everything before it was a wild ride though.

This and Bloodlust and Bonnets are both so good. I describe both as wacky-evil fantasy. The real villains are always the ones that are the ‘good guys’ in the book and the characters all like murder a bit too much.

I loved this book it was so quirky and fun! It’s a fast read that still has depth.

“You can’t just go around Murder king people. There are rules Nimona.”

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.

i have been a huge fan of ND for years and was happy to finally sit down and read the infamous NIMONA. this story was extremely unique and i couldn’t help but to love Nimona and Blackheart the most. it felt like some parts had been cut (from the original web comic) for space, but otherwise the pacing was on point and plot was very entertaining. i feel like if there had been more world-building up front (because the setting really is unexpected and unique) or if i had read this when it was a web comic, it would be a 5/5. but for now, it gets a 4!
