Spring 2015 Indie Next List Pick The New York Times bestselling
graphic novel sensation from Noelle Stevenson, based on her beloved
and critically acclaimed web comic. Kirkus says, "If you're going
to read one graphic novel this year, make it this one." Nemeses!

brilliantly subversive, sharply irreverent epic from Noelle
Stevenson. Featuring an exclusive epilogue not seen in the web

throughout, this gorgeous full-color graphic novel has been hailed
by critics and fans alike as the arrival of a "superstar" talent
(NPR.org). Nimona is an impulsive young shapeshifter 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.
