Review of 'Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Moving on to Volume 3 of the Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur series, character chamios go into overdrive to a very largely enjoyable effect. There was one fight between Hulk and The Thing that I really didn't enjoy, but there was also a guest artist on that one, so it may have just been due to miscommunication.... I don't think this volume is for everyone but I really enjoyed the return of grouchy old man Wolverine. And sans real-world problems of little girls ending up in the beds of strange men, tiny devil dinosaur is SUPER cute.
In contrast to the previous volume, where I (as I mentioned) I felt like Lunella ended up being more than a little gas lit. In this volume, we have something concrete that Lunella believes that all the adults around her doubt, but that she is ultimately proved right on. This isn't to say …

In this volume, we have something concrete that Lunella believes that all the adults around her doubt, but that she is ultimately proved right on. This isn't to say I think that Lunella can never be wrong, but I do think it comes down to how she is wrong and whether issues are actually proven one way or another. Volume 2's problem was it was far too wishy-washy and didn't seem to realize what it was doing.
So while I'm obviously not front and center as far as this book's audience is concerned I have found it a pretty interesting read. I already have volume four, which will be the first volume I haven't read previously, and so I will hopefully have even more thoughts soon.
