Angie: Some evidence of rough handling on the cover, but the rest looks fine. The art is very different from the movie, but that I knew that going in (discovered because of the movie.) Overall, excited to read this.

Mt: Heart, humor, and dragons- I mean what more could you possibly ask for??? Nimona is a young shapeshifter who becomes the sidekick for the local villain, Lord Blackheart. As the duo wreaks havoc on The Institution, secrets are uncovered that may indicate the “good guys” aren’t so good. Heart warming and funny, with beautiful illustrations! Loved it!

Mike Foster: I picked this up after watching the Netflix movie, and right off the bat there are some noticeable differences between the two. But unlike the normal book lover who gets upset when the movie doesn't duplicate the book, I found that the book having differences from the movie made the book more engaging, because I *didn't* know for sure how things were going to turn out.

Cryptid Kris: If you came to get more of the movie characters, sorry friend :( they’re all completely different, and the story is different too. BUT this is an incredible story in its own right! Very interesting, touches on a different set of issues. There are also some familiar story beats!
To avoid spoilers, I enjoyed the plot a lot. The ending kind of saddened me, but I could see why it was probably for the best. Everyone needs therapy.
I enjoy the art style, and the jokes are my favorite! A fun read. I got through all of it in one evening, which I haven’t done in years!
Overall, 10/10, good book; the only problem is that there isn’t more!

Francesco: Ho adorato il personaggio di Nimona, anche se questo fumetto c'entra poco con la serie su Netflix come trama, mi è piaciuto molto di più della serie, la quale però mi ha fatto conoscere ed innamorare di Nimona quindi non mi sento in una posizione di poter criticare la serie più di tanto. Ma questa non è una recensione della serie e forse sono già andato fuori tema. In ogni caso personaggi molto ben caratterizzati, simpatici quando serve e profondi al punto giusto, anche lo stile non è per niente male, ha quel non so che di simil grezzo e poco curato in alcuni punti che a me personalmente piace molto usato così.

Nicholas MaiocchiNicholas Maiocchi: Trama:
Nimona vuole diventare la nuova spalla del neo criminale più cattivo del regno, Lord Ballister Cuorenero. Solo che nulla è veramente come sembra, in questa storia perché Nimona può trasformarsi in qualsiasi animale lei voglia. Durante le sue avventure con Ballister, scoprirà cosa è davvero importante e chi le vuole bene veramente, in un libro straordinariamente fresco, veloce, profondo, ed originale!

Verdetto personale:
Dopo aver visto quattro volte il film (che reputo uno dei migliori film di animazione degli ultimi dieci anni) mi sono deciso a recuperare anche il fumetto. Come si può ben vedere, lo stile di disegno è ovviamente diverso rispetto a quello del film (e personalmente amo entrambi) ma non le emozioni che ci sono dentro. Infatti la storia è abbastanza simile a quella del film, che è stata quindi trasposta su pellicola ed "aggiustata" in maniera parecchio fedele a quella del fumetto (aggiungendo solo la relazione tra Ballister e Ambrosius) e addirittura alcune sequenze del film sono copiate pari pari a quelle del libro come storyboard. Per me Nimona è un'opera davvero originale, adatta a tutti, con un bel ritmo e che trasmette tante...

KarToon12: I've been very slowly making my way through a long list of books recommended by a librarian I follow on social media. Next up on the docket was this charming-looking book that began life as a webcomic, with the creator going on to have a successful comic and TV career. Being a webcomic creator myself, this info immediately caught my attention, and I was eager to see what all the hype was. And upon completion, I can understand how the author went on to have such success in the writing world.

In a fantasy world where magic and science work side by side, Ballister Blackheart is a famed and feared supervillain who is constantly at odds with his arch nemesis---the handsome and heroic Ambrosius Goldenloin, along with the Institution who serve as the world's peace keepers. But Blackheart's luck changes when, one random day, a mysterious girl named Nimona arrives at his doorstep. Not only is the young woman eager to become his sidekick, but she has the power to shapeshift into anything and anyone she wants. Together, the unlikely pair go on a crime spree---winning one victory after another, and taking revenge on those who wronged them. But not everything is as it appears, and the...
