Books by ND Stevenson
“Nimona is the work of ND Stevenson, who went on to co-create Lumberjanes. He is extremely talented. He has been the showrunner, developer, and executive producer of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. He’s a classic rising star within art and animation. Nimona was his first book. He did it as a thesis. This is such a cool thing about how creative work is done today: you can go back on ND Stevenson’s Tumblr from 2012 through 2014 and see him come up with the idea for this book, develop these characters, sketch them out, and develop a comic about them. It’s a compelling book. It’s a little bit about queerness; it’s about identity. The main character is a shapeshifter and works with people who potentially have different morals and values than she does to take on the Institute, a big bad imperial and fascist apparatus. It is a charming, pretty, very good-looking book. It is visually innovative and it’s visually striking.” Read more...
