Usually I like books much better than the movie…but in this case, while I like the messages from the book and that it inspired an amazing movie, the graphic novel is much darker and serious. And quite a bit more violent. They did much more character development in the movie and built on Nimona and Ballister’s relationship more. The ending of the book is a little choppy and I had to re-read it to understand what happened. The message about not getting “stuck” or not needing to be “saved” were clear in the book, and I liked that they built on that in the movie and gave Nimona a strong voice. The artwork was cool. I liked that she keeps changing her hair :-)
