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.

The fantastic four wasn't my favorite. I enjoy Lunella more when the focus is on her problem solving and intelligence rather than meeting up with as many other characters as possible.
A little more like a 3.5? It's my least fave MG and DD yet, but it's still cute and fun.
In this volume, Moon Girl has to not only save the universe but do it while older "wiser" super heroes/villains (in Galactus's case) shrug and tell her it can't be done and why even try. And if that ain't a metaphor I don't know what is.
I read Moon Girl and the Devil Dinosaur Vol.5 as single issues through the Marvel Unlimited app.
Moon Girl and the Devil Dinosaur is officially five volumes in (actually, more than that by now) and still going strong. I’ll admit that I was a little hesitant to start reading this volume, what with the major change that happened in the last one. But I ended up being really happy with my decision to continue reading it.
The events in this volume are a lot bigger than I was anticipating. It has a couple cameos that we’re used to seeing, but there are also some major ones that quite frankly I just didn’t see coming. I’ll admit it was a little less intense and nerve wracking than it should have been, but there are a couple of good reasons for that.
For one thing, Moon Girl has always been a lighter and more casual read. While they stakes have been high in the past, I always know that Luna will figure things out. I mean, she’s the smartest person on the planet. Plus I just don’t seem them hurting her character, not in any permanent way.
Then there’s the fact that at least one of these characters is different from how we usually see him. I’m talking about (spoiler warning) Galactus. He’s not the big bad he used to be, thanks to the Ultimates. I think we all know that this new version won’t stick, but for now he’s not really a threat to Moon Girl or her city.
I’ve always loved the Ben Grimm keeps making appearances in Moon Girl. Not only is he a really cute…well I was going to call him her mentor, but that isn’t even remotely the right term. Father figure? Not right either, but its closer. What I’m trying to say is that I’ve always liked his presence in her life, and his interest in her success. It never felt creepy, and it always seemed like he sincerely liked her and wanted to see her go places someday.
It’s actually fitting that Ben and Johnny have made their way into Moon Girl’s life. They act like they’re supporting her and everything like that, but the truth is that they’re lost. They desperately miss that piece of their life that’s gone, and I think part of them was hoping that Luna would help them find it again. Even if that ‘finding’ is more metaphorical than literal.
Still, their appearance leads to lots of fighting and a few funny moments, so I’m happy with it. I wouldn’t mind seeing them continue to show up in her series, but I guess I’ll just have to wait and see about that part.
The best part of this volume, without a shadow of a doubt, is the reappearance of Devil Dinosaur. I honestly don’t think the series would have been the same without him. I mean, he’s half the title after all. So now that things are all back to normal, relatively speaking, I’m looking forward to seeing what the next plot will be.

Me ha parecido un tomo súper tierno. Y me encantaría que Lunella siguiera con los 4 (2) fantásticos, tienen mucha química. De los tomos que más he disfrutado, aunque dinosaurio diabólico no aparezca mucho.
I usually love this series, but this entire volume left me feeling really dissatisfied. Tbh my 2 stars are rounded up from a 1.5, which is for continued great art and a cute plot twist in the final couple pages, but lack of a good, cohesive plot that I had a very difficult time following from one page to the next. I hope that the next volume brings things back to the strong story it was in previous volumes.
