LOVE this girl and her mysterious acceptance of a mental bond with a dino from another dimension. Having an invisible friend is one thing, but having a real dinosaur for a pet is something else entirely. Loved the Hulk appearance and was glad to see her fight back against the little girl stereotype.

Firstly, the big positive of this volume. The art is amazing. I love how fun and vibrant it is. Unfortunately the plot and characters kind of fell flat. I just found myself losing interest so fast. I also was expecting more of the dinosaur but he disappears and then has a couple small moments to add action and that was it. This was a pretty big disappointment unfortunately.

A fun comic with great art, nothing too special story wise so far.
Art: I really liked the art, great colors, expressions, and action. Nothing bad I can say about the art.
Story: This is the second Marvel comic I've actually read, so I guess take what I say with a grain of salt. The basic story isn't too special, but I think it's held up by its great art and really fun concept. Genius girl with a bunch of crazy inventions teamed up with a dinosaur fighting cavemen. That's basically the entire volume, and if that sounds good to you, then pick it up. There's also some good character moments as well. Like Lunella (the mc) trying to prove herself to her parents, etc.
In the end, it's a pretty good start to a fun comic.

The cover was the thing that lured me into reading this one. Dinosaurs? Um, yes please! A little girl seemingly not afraid of a big, giant, red, T-rex? More yes please!
And I am really pleased with this series/book. I was so worried that it would turn out to be yet another comic/graphic novel with a magical backstory that is never said, told, or mentioned, but we as readers just have to magically grasp. But I didn't have to worry with this one. Sure, it still felt like we missed a little bit, but not much. I could fully grasp the story, and I was delighted with Lunella.
Lunella was a brave, inventive, curious, smart, fun girl who knew what she wanted and definitely wasn't going to let anything stop her from doing it. No sirree, not even a T-rex, not even Hulk, oh no, not even a gang of Killer Folk. No one can stop this girl, and I was just so delighted. Go go girl!
I loved her at school, though I did feel terribly sorry that she is so smart and stuck at a school with boring lessons, teachers who don't understand, kids who call her names (though they do seem to have some respect for her, especially later on).
I did worry about her though, especially when we find out certain things about her DNA. I also worried about her wandering off through the night. I wouldn't want a kid wandering my (comparatively small city) at night, I don't even want to think about the city where Lunella lives. *shivers*
Though I have to say I don't believe it that Lunella is only 9. She doesn't look, or act like it. I know she is a genius, and that might cause some disparities, but I would rather say that Lunella is 11/12.
The dinosaur? I adored it. It was so cute, so kick-ass. Yes, I said cute. Have you ever seen a T-rex purr? Or make cute noises when confused or sad? Or lick someone when they are happy to see them? Well, yeah, that is what happens with this T-rex when he becomes good friends with Lunella (though I am not sure if Lunella sees him as that, but I guess she does considering she does care for him and does a lot for him).
The Killer Folk? Meh. I know they have a role, and I know which one, but I couldn't stop being frustrated at them.
Oh, and I definitely have to give bonuspoints to hunky Hulk. His human-form is just dayum! Though I have to say his Hulk-form is also that. Oh la la la!
I also loved his banter with Lunella, and how he did try to help her out, even though it wasn't really the best way.
There are still a lot of things I would love to see in this world, so I will definitely keep an eye out for the next volume. Hopefully it comes out soon. :)
Ah yes, the art, I really liked that one. There was a great lot of details, and I loved how Lunella, the Hulk, and the dinosaur were drawn!
All in all, I would highly recommend this comic to everyone!

Is it just me or is terrigenesis a metaphor for puberty?

I loved the main character so driven and brave and creative. I also love the unexpected connection with the dinosaur.

Well I loved the protagonist, I enjoyed the quotes throughout from scientists, and I thought the cliffhanger at the end was intriguing, but the rest of the book was kind of a letdown. It's one of those comics where I feel like I needed some prior knowledge because I just had no idea what was happening. Parts of the action were too hastily drawn and I was left going back through the scenes again and again wondering what in the world just happened.

I wish I'd had a comic book depicting an independent, fourth-grade science girl genius as its protagonist when I was growing up. I'm glad that a generation of girls will have the chance to grow up reading a comic about a girl like them. It's about time.
