Not a huge fan of the Fantastic Four so this was definitely not my favorite volume, but it was still good. I'm enjoying seeing Lunella (very) slowly start to become from friendly with Eduardo and Zoe.
And yay, Devil Dinosaur is back!

Not the strongest volume in the series, but the inclusion of the Fantastic Four (Two?) makes for an interesting development in the plot. And as Lunella is faced with powerful friends and foes, the is forced to reckon with her own limits and continue finding her place in the Marvel universe.

This series continues to be a pleasure to read, and the ending of this volume is one of the more beautiful moments this series has had to offer.

Plus, Doom-head is always fun to read! And watching the Thing and the Human Torch attempt to rescue a cat from a tree is anything but boring.

This series is sweet and fun, and it always leaves me happy that I've read it. And that counts for a lot.

 Loving the story and the graphics! Lunella befriends The Thing and Human Torch and things are going awry when Galactus shows up. This time he's not here to eat Earth. So many wonderful characters including Silver Surfer. Must read for any Marvel fan.

If I were honest, this volume and the last night have been 2 stars. I wish we could see more character growth rather than weird comic mashups. However, the last three pages of this volume were really good.

Moon Girl teams up with The Thing & the Human Torch, the last remaining members of the Fantastic Four to create The Fantastic Three! Expect Johnny & Ben are idiots that squabble like children, causing more problems than they solve. They're constantly fighting & insanely irritating...which I assume was simply the author of Moon Girl staying true to the originals. Galactus (eats worlds) and the Silver Surfer have shown up as heralds for Omnipotentis, a being who eats entire realities.

Lunella is still searching for the right teammate, and finally discovers that even the smartest girl in the world can make mistakes.



I hope these aren't the last we'll see of Moon Girl.

For some reason I didn't really like this volume. I didn't care for the Fantastic 4. I wanted more Lunella and Dinosaur if I'm being honest.

Still not liking this as much as the first two volumes. Lunella will not stop reminding the reader or everyone she knows that she's the smartest person on earth, and it's pretty annoying at this point. I can't help but compare this to things like Ms Marvel or the Squirrel Girl or Lois Lane books, because they're all younger heroes but the other series make sure to focus on other aspects of life, not just being a hero, and there are lessons and friends and family. Moon Girl kind of has that, in that Lunella realizes she needs Devil Dinosaur, but I liked it better when she was at school and showing people that she's smart while also working with them to help them.

I've also realized that I prefer comics about smaller battles and opponents, rather than "the universe is about to end" variety. I've been reading comics for three years or so (four?) now, and constantly reading about how different heroes save the universe is....boring. Which sounds ridiculous, I know, but as this is fiction, we know the hero will save the universe. It's anticlimactic. So this whole volume felt boring to me, because I knew things would be okay. I also know nothing about the Fantastic Four and don't really care about them, so there's that.
