Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Vol. 5: Fantastic Three by Brandon Montclare
3.0
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.
