The desire to be someone other than yourself as a means of expressing yourself. But every time I read it, I come back to the idea of shapeshifters. Nimona is an absolutely charming comic full of amazing gags, heartwarming specials, and even some queer love. This is perhaps overemphasizing the darker side of the narrative. But the heart of the story– that of an abused child and a supervillain teaming up to overthrow the monarchy, of the nature of heroism being questioned via a point of view– can be seen echoing throughout Stevenson’s later works. You can see ND Stevenson grow as an artist with each chapter. In many regards, Nimona is an early work of one of the great comics artists of our age. The ability to shift from one form to the next and the next with ease marks a sharp contrast to the difficulties of transitioning in our current age. Sean Dillon: There’s something about shapeshifters that appeals to genderqueer people like myself. But in addition to substantive solutions, here’s one of the many ways to aid those voices in comics, and to approach marginalized perspectives with curiosity, empathy, and an open-mind. We don’t get to simply solve that by supporting queer comics creators. It’s a dangerous time to be queer in America. The simple reality is that the more queer stories and creators at the forefront of comics, the better variety of new, exciting works we get to enjoy. So many of my favorite comic books are either directly or indirectly about queer people, relationships, and community, and vast amounts of my favorite comic book creators identify as gay, lesbian, trans, bisexual or other identifiers in the LGBTQIA+ range. I’m not a part of the community, and there’s a lot I still don’t understand, but I see now that there’s inherent value in marginalized perspectives in story, and there’s worth in supporting the voices that aim to tell them. What did the “queerness” of this work have to do with selling me on the story and artistic vision of the comic book? In the early days of Comic Book Herald, I’d occasionally get promotional Kickstarter emails teasing a “queer sci-fi saga” (or some such), and I’ll fully admit, I did not understand what sexuality had to do with the promotion.
