Nimona by N. D. Stevenson

[leahandillyana]

Nimona is certainly one journey of a comic. It starts as a basically comic equivalent of a shitpost – Ballister Blackheart, a villain who keeps most of his ethics back from his heroic days is approached by titular character, a girl who thinks the guy to be almost cool – he only needs more evil! And that’s what Nimona is for. Majority of the story is dedicated to Ballister and Nimona spreading mostly non lethal chaos to inconvenience Ballister’s former employers and especially his former friend, Ambrosius Goldenloin, whose betrayal pushed Ballister on the path of villainy to begin with. However, the comic gets more serious with each death of Nimona – did I mention that she is an immortal shape-shifter? Now I did. By the end, the comic dives into surprising depths in regard to the psychology of its characters and ends on a mostly sweet note. While the gay romantic subplot is not explicitly portrayed in the comic, I think that the intense subtext and the author’s confirmation to be enough to consider it a gay romance. 7 pages out of circa 250.

Comixology going to be brought under Amazon's control soon...and it does not look good

[stubbleupdate]

FAQ. What’s going to happen to my pre-ordered comics?
If you pre-ordered a book on comiXology with a release date of no later than February 16 (including), we will fulfill that order for you (even if the old comiXology website is no longer available). Pre-orders for books with release dates starting February 17 will be cancelled and you will need to re-order them. We will be sending you an email with your cancelled pre-orders and links to their Amazon page so you can easily re-order your books. Once you’ve re-ordered on Amazon, you can manage and delete your pre-orders by visiting the “Digital Orders” tab under the ‘Your Orders’ page on Amazon - see here.

FAQ 5. Will my previously downloaded books remain downloaded?
Unfortunately, they will not. With this new app update, you will need to download any books you want to have on your device again. Once you tap download on the book you can start reading in seconds.


FAQ 4: Will all my series subscriptions move over to Amazon?
Unfortunately, a small number of series aren’t available for subscription on Amazon and will not be moved over to Amazon. We'll be sending you an email letting you know if your series subscription can't be transferred.

If you live outside of the US, your series subscriptions will not move to Amazon. We understand this is a disappointment, but series subscriptions aren’t yet available on Amazon outside of the US.

No subscriptions, no pre-orders, I have to download all my books again and I have to create an Amazon account to do so. Wonderful

Moon Knight #8: "Scarlet"

[alliterator]

"It's no secret that I love street-level stuff, and to me, Moon Knight belongs on the street. He's the weird street-level guy who deals with weird street-level stuff, and I think there's a space for him there that just works. In this series, we're working on establishing that space for him, showing readers what the Moon Knight corner of the world looks like."
