Nimona is a young shapeshifter who wants to learn the art of villainy under the tutelage of one of the great – Lord Ballister Blackheart. But her willingness to break the rules, and the actions of the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics, raise some questions about who the real villains and heroes are. Noelle Stevenson’s artwork is unique and really expressive, especially the way she keeps Nimona recogniseable even as she shifts her shape. The story is both funny and quite heartwarming, with lots of caring characters who just want to do the right thing – once they can work out what that is.
