Damnit, Disney.

Nimona by Noelle Stevenson

February 2, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith 1 Comment

Now I have more reason to be pissed about the animated adaptation of Nimona being cancelled by Disney. Them buying Blue Sky Studios and immediately burying one of their most promising projects was enough of a reason for me to be angry, but I hadn’t even read the graphic novel at the time of seeing that news, so I didn’t know if I was right to be so upset. People seemed to love Nimona, though, it sounded like a promising property for an animated movie, […]

Nimona – 5/5 Stars I really do love this book a lot. It’s so full of charm and joy and fun. It FEELS whimsical at times, and I generally do like whimsy, but it’s a much more tightly controlled and structured narrative than whimsy would suggest. I have owned three copies of this book and have had three copies get “borrowed” by students and never returned. I feel like everyone knows what the book is, but a quick recap. We are in a far-off magical […]

“you can play as a dog, a boot, or a trebuchet”

Nimona by Noelle Stevenson

February 15, 2021 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

Man, I really wish Monopoly (oh wait- World Domination) had a trebuchet. I’m usually the shoe, but I would LOVE to be a trebuchet. It has been perpetually gray here in New Hampshire for the last…oh jeez, three weeks? I needed something familiar to hunker down with while waiting for the sun to return, and while shuffling around my house I remembered LittlePlat‘s recent Nimona review. A great review about a great book? Just the spark I needed! Thank you, LittlePlat, and thank you to […]

Good for you, not for me.

Lumberjanes Volume 1: Beware the Kitten Holy by Noelle Stevenson

Lumberjanes Volume 2: Friendship to the Max by Noelle Stevenson

February 10, 2021 by dsbs42 1 Comment

I don’t even want to write this review because I like Noelle Stevenson so much, but I think “Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types” should have been a clue that Lumberjanes is just too much whimsy for me. The Lumberjanes graphic novel series (which is still ongoing), created by Noelle Stevenson of Nimona fame (another book I didn’t enjoy as much as everyone around me seemed to) is about five kids attending a girl scout type summer camp, the supernatural mischief […]

She Grows On You

Nimona by Noelle Stevenson

January 31, 2021 by LittlePlat 10 Comments

More comfort reads! More comfort reads! Nimona is a real favourite of mine. Before Noelle Stevenson saw success with the She-Ra series, she was writing Nimona—an absolutely glorious webcomic-turned actual-comic. The setting of Nimona isn’t actually too far divorced from what we see in She-Ra: rather high fantasy on the surface, with a lot of nerdy science and magi-tech elements scattered throughout. We have heroic and villainous knights in shining armour with jousting sticks but said knights also have high-tech research labs where they develop […]

The Fire Never Goes Out: A Memoir in Pictures by Noelle Stevenson

March 10, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Fire Never Goes Out: A Memoir in Pictures is not for everyone. It took me some time to get through Noelle Stevenson’s memoir. Before I go into the details, I will say, read this book as many times as is needed. This is not an easy read, not just because of the themes, but because of how it is written. A graphic novel is not always the best way to present yourself but also, what better way for an artist to do just that? […]
