A National Book Award Longlist Title

The graphic novel debut from rising star Noelle Stevenson, based on her beloved and critically acclaimed web comic, which Slate awarded its Cartoonist Studio Prize, calling it "a deadpan epic."

Nemeses! Dragons! Science! Symbolism! All these and more await in this brilliantly subversive, sharply irreverent epic from Noelle Stevenson. Featuring an exclusive epilogue not seen in the web comic, along with bonus conceptual sketches and revised pages throughout, this gorgeous full-color graphic novel is perfect for the legions of fans of the web comic and is sure to win Noelle many new ones.

As sidekick and supervillain, Nimona and Lord Blackheart are about to wreak some serious havoc. Their mission: prove to the kingdom that Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and his buddies …

Visto prima l'adattamento -se vi è piaciuto- leggetevelo

Sicuramente diverso dal film, per uno che si impegna a "fruire" le opere originali prima degli adattamenti è un po' un'onta, ma qui devo ammettere che si capisce il calibro del materiale originale e allo stesso tempo si può apprezzare (sia artisticamente che narrativamente) il ricamo quasi ad "universo alternativo" del lungometraggio... sarebbe anche da contestualizzare, per chi arriva dal film, che la forma originaria del fumetto non era quella della graphic novel cartacea in blocco ma di vignette pubblicate sul web -anche questo dettaglio rischia di far mal giudicare l'originale partendo dall'adattamento con un budget da "blockbuster" (pur meritato e ben usato almeno)

Different From The NetFlix Movie

I watched the movie first with no foreknowledge of what the source material was, the universe, anything.

I found that I much preferred the book's handling of the core characters and events in the story.

It is a bit more dark than the movie, while also giving a better peek into how ridiculous some of the character's personalities and motivations really are, even in-universe.

I think the movie handled the chaotic aspect of Nimoa herself quite well visually.
