When I saw the cover of Evil-ish by Kennedy Tarrell I figured it would be in the fantasy genre and I hoped for a graphic novel. The graphic novel hinting covers have fooled me often of late so I was hoping I was not going to be disappointed and instead of a good, old fashioned graphic novel, I would find myself reading a (gasp! clutching pearls) a NOVEL! 
Actually, that hyperbole works well for this cute, fun, and cozy familiar story. Our main character is a non-binary, villain-wanna-be who is forced to be around mere mortals at their mothers coffee shop. They would be right at home on a RuPaul B Team Drag Race contest. They are flashy and dramatic. A younger, slightly annoying sibling is in the picture (sweet kid, but you know, younger sibling and all that), not to mention the cute, but more annoying regular customer. When the day comes for the Evil Doers of the Village to get new members, our young protagonist heads on over, with more confidence than talent or skills. But an awkward friendship with the odd customer, an accidental killing of the villainous leader and some hijinks later our Not-So-Evil doer learns what it means to lead, be a true friend and be part of a real family.
The illustrations are typical fun and silly comic-graphic novel images. Colors are bold and mix up to fit a scene and to set the mood. It has busy and not so busy pages filled with mischief, love, goofiness, the really bad stuff done to the town as needed. In the end it is a much lighter Nimona and Legend of Vox Machina that goes heavier on goofy adventures like Vox, but keeps the gender situation of Nimona. I read via an online reader copy, but it is currently available.
