ND Stevenson: Master of Panels, Now a Maestro of Pixels
Here’s my spicy hot take: “Nimona” really broke the mold! Not everyone wakes up one day and turns their breakfast sketch into a best-selling graphic novel, and then into a 3D movie, but ND Stevenson does. This man has turned the corners of comic books and pushed graphical narratives into the third dimension. With a sizzling Netflix adaptation to cap it off, Stevenson might have just invented a new level in the game of ‘Pen-and-Paper to Premiere.’ Soon enough, we might see every introvert doodler coming out of their shells – and who knows, the next Netflix animation sensation might be getting hatched in some teenager’s bedroom as we speak. Watch out, world: The pencil is mightier than the sword after all!
