About this audiobook

An original full-cast audio adaptation of the New York Times best-selling graphic novel sensation from Noelle Stevenson, based on her beloved and critically acclaimed web comic.

Nemeses! Dragons! Science! Symbolism! All these and more await in this brilliantly subversive, sharply irreverent epic from Noelle Stevenson. Adapted for audio, this brilliant production is perfect for the legions of fans of the web comic and graphic novel and is sure to win Noelle many new ones.

This full-cast audio edition is performed by Rebecca Soler, Jonathan Davis, Marc Thompson, January LaVoy, Natalie Gold, Peter Bradbury, and David Pittu and features original music by Loren Toolajian, with sound effects throughout.

Nimona is an impulsive young shape-shifter with a knack for villainy. Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a vendetta. 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 at the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics aren't the heroes everyone thinks they are. But as small acts of mischief escalate into a vicious battle, Lord Blackheart realizes that Nimona's powers are as murky and mysterious as her past. And her unpredictable wild side might be more dangerous than he is willing to admit.

A HarperAudio production.

Editor's Note

A whimsical full-cast…

One of the best graphic novels of our time has gotten a whimsical full-cast audiobook treatment. Noelle Stevenson shines not just for her distinctive art style but for her original storytelling and feminist slant.

    SO cute: the story & the art. It’s an antihero graphic novel. It was clever, subversive and sweet, without taking itself too seriously. To be fair, it almost lost me there at the beginning, but it grew on me and it had a strong ending, so I had a good time.
  • 5/5
    This was so good!!! I am so in love with nimona, blackheart and goldenloin. The plot was really good, the art style was fantastic and I really liked Noelle's take on Nimona's powers. Probably one of, if not my favorite, graphic novels and I'm so glad it lived up to the hype.

    Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a grudge: He was in training to be a hero when his good friend, Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin, treacherously blasted his arm. He was deemed excess to requirements by the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics, and assigned to be a villain, while Goldenloin went on to become the beloved hero.Blackheart used to have henchmen, but the Institution paid them off. He's never had a sidekick, so he is quite surprised when Nimona, apparently a cute young girl, shows up saying that the Institution has assigned her to be his sidekick.It hasn't, of course, and she soon admits it. She is, though, highly motivated, and a very gifted, if impulsive, shapeshifter. They are soon off to wreak some havoc, but along the way, they discover that something really nasty is going on.And the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics is behind it.Oh, and Blackheart is realizing that both Nimona's powers, and her background, are far murkier than he suspected.What's a rules-following professional villain to do?This is a lot of fun.I bought this audiobook.
