10 Comics That Turned Out Nothing Like You Expected

10. Nimona

Upon first starting Nimona, it's easy to see the characters solely by typecast; Balliser Blackheart, villain at large and anti-hero at heart, his bumbling but loyal sidekick Nimona, and their enemy, Sir Goldenloin, a golden-haired "hero" with a long past involving Blackheart.

This set up is arguably created so you'll have pre-conceived ideas about where the plot might go, only to crush them and surprise you continuously. For starters, the fantasy world has some incredibly high-tech components, including bluetooth, computers, and security technology.

Secondly, the conventional story of "endearing villain who isn't all that bad" is turned on its head pretty fast, as it becomes clear the Institution that governs the lands is sketchy as hell and pretty evil itself.

And so our lovable villains quickly becomes loveable heroes, as they seek to dismantle the organisation and its tyrannical control, leading to a story of well-meaning monsters, surprising amounts of genetic experimentation, and what appears to be a romance between Blackheart and Goldenloin - which would really explain all that archenemy tension.
