Nimona

N.D. Stevenson’s Nimona began as a webcomic before being collected by Intrínseca in 2016, a single-volume graphic novel that upends the classic fantasy quest. It follows a shapeshifting, chaos-loving young girl who becomes the sidekick to a disgraced knight, Lord Ballister Blackheart, as they set out to prove that the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics isn’t as heroic as it seems. The series is celebrated for its vibrant, expressive art and its wickedly funny, heartfelt subversion of good-versus-evil tropes, marking a standout debut that helped define a new wave of all-ages comics with a rebellious spirit.
