I've already read this one twice before I've managed to review it, because sometimes I just gotta revisit Nimona and Blackheart. I love the relationship between the two of them, with Blackheart's not-quite-a-bad-guy attitude and Nimona's morally grey taste for blood. They have this mentor/mentee relationship that I'm weak for, and I love the way they care about each other so deeply. I also adore Blackheart and Goldenloin. Who knew we were all waiting for friends-to-lovers-to-enemies-to-friends-to-lovers? Not me!

The characters are what really give this graphic novel its heart, and whenever I'm drawn back to it it's for those characters. They're fleshed out and hilarious and Noelle Stevenson balances plot/humour/backstory perfectly to make sure the reader isn't overbalanced by any one of the three. The plot itself does still stand up, though, and it makes me a little weepy every single time I get to the end, though I won't go into it because of spoilers. Overall this is a super addictive read with characters you'll fall in love with and is definitely worth picking up.
