Nimona
''Nimona'' is a fantasy graphic novel by ND Stevenson, an American cartoonist. The story follows Nimona, a shapeshifter who joins the villain Ballister Blackheart in his plans to destroy the over-controlling Institute. Blackheart tries to operate under his code of ethics, while Nimona has no problem with killing. The setting mixes magic and technology. Stevenson began work on ''Nimona'' while studying at Maryland Institute College of Art, revisiting a character he had created while at high school. Stevenson published ''Nimona'' as a webcomic from 2012 through 2014, initially through Tumblr, developing the story and the art style as time progressed.
