In this volume of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Lunella solves the Banner B. O. X. which is a puzzle that has never been solved before, making her the smartest person in the world. This goes to her head quite a bit and we see her grow more and more egotistical until she's faced with a problem she can't beat on her own. Lucky for her she has plenty of friends to fall back on like Ms. Marvel, the X-men and the Thing.This series is just delightful, go check it out! ~Elisa
I think the entire Marvel universe shows up in this one. I'm sure there are a few people who don't. I didn't think this was the best volume so far. Still, I like how confident and smart Lunella is. She is a great role model for younger kids. This is one of those really wild titles Marvel has. There is a real Dinosaur in this one and Lunella trades places with it on the full moon, well their minds trade places. Lunella is an Inhuman. They are the big group lately. It was X-men and now it's Inhuma...
So I assumed these comics were just going through the phase some series tend to where random cameos are introduced to sell issues without any satisfying payoff storywise, but I was dead wrong. Each issue does feature a different supporting character who attempts to help Luna and teach her about their perspective on the world, but it truly means something. Their wisdom leads Luna to reevaluate her seemingly wanted loneliness, and begin to realize the importance of relying on others. The last issu...
Read as single issues]Moon Girl's fought ape people from the dawn of time, and a snot-nosed Kree love interest. Now, she's out to prove herself as the Smartest There Is as one of the Hulk's genius tests reveals that she's not just the world's smartest nine year old, but the smartest person, period.Enter a parade of guest stars as Lunella grapples with her new status and the fame (and villains) that it brings, with a Doctor Doom-related sub-plot bubbling away in the background at the same time. I...
I found this my least favorite of the three volumes I read. For the most part, it is because it feels like guest stars galore. Though to see two girls/young women discussing sciene, two women of color, is worth the price of the comic. Lunella as always is entertaining.
Every issue has a different guest star showing up to check up on Lunella. She's passed this test by Bruce banner that declares her the smartest person on Earth. Moon Girl fights some Doombots.The Good: It's nice to see a title in the Marvel U aimed at younger readers. The Bad: There's not much of a plot or story in any of these books. Just because it's aimed at younger readers, doesn't mean kids can't handle a story.The Ugly: Moon Girl is supposed to be the smartest person on the planet but stil...
There is such a thing as genius envy and Dr. Doom is fuming...
I honestly didn't think this title would be anywhere as good and entertaining as it is. Great stuff. Sure it gets a bit silly at times, but then were dealing with Marvel here - so how seriously can you really take this stuff.
I'm so sad that as I read more volumes, my opinion of this comic seems to be going down. I think I partly wasn't in the mood, but I'm also just really annoyed by the constant superhero interference in this one. I'm sick of every Marvel comic I read being a massive and continual crossover. I realize they're very integrated in the world/multi-verse, but if I read a comic about Moon Girl I expect a comic about Moon Girl and her struggles and villains, not a comic where she interacts with 20 differe...
I like this book and character more than when it first started, but here's my problem with it that keeps bugging me: to write a story where the protagonist is supposed to be The Smartest There Is, you have to start with a very smart writer. We get that with The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl regularly - lessons in logic, computer science, American Sign Language, conflict resolution negotiations, and many real-world facts about animal behaviors. Squirrel Girl does not claim to have an Intelligence stat...
I really love the character of Moon Girl, particularly the fact that she's written as a super smart kid that struggles because of her intelligence. However, this volume dragged. It featured a lot of cameos from other Marvel characters meant to help teach Moon Girl a few lessons, but really this could have been accomplished in half the space.
Another fabulous volume, this time with special appearances by The Thing, Ironheart, Doctor Strange and the X-Men! Moon Girl learns to ask for help and realizes there is strength in needing others when she gathers the friends she's made in her adventures to team up and save the city from Doombots.A great plot, strong message, and heartwarming character development for Moon Girl. I love sharing this series with my daughter!
Moon girl is the smartest person in the world, and if you forget that she will remind you in the next two pages. She rarely does anything particularly intelligent in this volume. Her foil for this arc is Dr. Doom is angry because some arbitrary test declared Moon girl to be smarter than him. Generally speaking, highly intelligent people don't have to keep reminding everyone that they are intelligent. We are also assaulted with a plague of guest stars. I feel like only when your character can't c...
this series is beyond fun. I love that kids reading this are going to have a badass, intelligent role model like lunella who, despite her powers and responsibility, is still allowed to act like a nine year old.
This wasn't the best installment in the series. I really got confused between actually dialogue and the thoughts that were going on in Moon Girl's head. It was too much. I did appreciate the inclusion of all the Marvel superheroes. It was fun and interesting to see them all working together. With that being said, I think that she definitely learned the value of friendship in this volume, but I'm hoping to see more in the next volume. I really enjoyed volume 2 so this was sort of a disappointment...
3.8 stars.This continues to be a delightful young reader series!This book follows Lunella after the discovery that she is the smartest person in the universe. After solving the Banner box puzzle (problem? I'm still not entirely sure what this thing is), Amadeus Cho wants Lunella's help working on the Banner Box. Lunella is feeling extremely validated by this news about her status among the world's geniuses. She's spent her entire life feeling like no one else understands her and the way her brai...
This is one of Marvel's most delightful books, covering the adventures of one nine-year-old supergenius and her saurian pal, with both of whom I identify far more than might make immediate sense. But this particular volume, not so much. Yes, it makes sense that with Lunella officially identified as the Marvel Universe's most intelligent, lots of people are going to take an interest in her. But while some of them (Amadeus Cho in particular) have already been established as part of her supporting
This book is just about holding my interest. I'm trying not to judge it too harshly as I'm painfully aware I'm not part of its target audience...
Some series drop off in quality over time, but so far that has not happened with Moon Girl. Volume three will be a particular delight to the fans out there that love cameos (and there sure are a lot of them in this one!). Moon Girl is the smartest person in the world, but getting others to accept that is easier said than done. This volume is all about Moon Girl trying to find her place in the world with her new status.(view spoiler)[ I mentioned that there were quite a lot of spoilers in this v
An underrated, overlooked gem in the Marvel universe. This is one of the nost joyous books in the Marvel U.Sure, it's not QUITE as well wtitten as Ms Marvel, or QUITE as offbeat as Gwenpool or Squirrel Girl....But I LOVE the two titular characters of this series!!
