Books to Read if You’re Excited for Nimona on Netflix

One of our favorite graphic novels ever, Nimona by ND Stevenson, has finally bern adapted for the screen—and is coming to Netflix on June 30! We can’t wait to watch Nimona, Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin, Lord Ballister Blackheart, and more in action when the movie hits Netflix, and you probably feel the same way.

If you’re as excited for the Nimona movie as we are, why not check out some other awesome queer graphic novels that you’ll probably love just as much as you love Nimona? (And once you read and love them, you can tell everyone else to read and love them, too!)

The graphic novels on the list below are magical, imaginative, beautifully illustrated queer stories that will make your heart squeeze. Some might make you cry. Some will make you smile. Some will do both!

These graphic novels will transport you to new places and times to meet new people, and we can’t wait for you to feast your eyes on each and every one of them. Check out these books like Nimona!
