This volume was disappointing. Too many crossovers really dilute Lunella's story. I understand the need for team building but she ends up reacting to everyone else rather than doing her own growth. Ironheart's appearance and interaction with Moon Girl was pretty interesting. I can't say the same for the Thing, Hulk, X-Men or Dr. Strange.
There was a lot of debate in this volume who is smarter. Talk about smarts is so boring. Showing intelligence is much more interesting. Lunella is debating brains over fists in her head and her dreams, but she has a long way to go in reality.
The Thing vs. Hulk fight was so lame. I think Thing and Hulk also take away from Devil Dinosaur. A big part of the charm of Moon Girl is her tiny size next to the giant red dinosaur. Thing's and Hulk's size really takes away from that on the page.
2.5 stars

My least favourite so far, but still filled with adorableness and meaning <3

My son and I read Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur together and we love it! She’s his favorite super hero (right now, he changes it at least once a month) and she’s mine too.

This continues to be my favorite book from Marvel. I wish we saw a little more of Lunella's home life, but it's good to see her growing and accepting that even though she's the smartest there is, she's capable of asking for help every once in a while too.

Of all the villains that little Moon Girl might face, it's Dr. Doom himself who has taken offense that Moon Girl has been determined to be the smartest person in the world!
The Hulk, The Thing, Dr. Strange, Ironheart (female Ironman), and the X-Men all come to help Moon Girl as Dr. Doom's machines cause havoc in the city.
I *love* the illustrations.
And Moon Girl.
and while she's often at odds with her parents, there are still some very touching moments

This particular genre of story rarely works for me and mostly doesn't here. Basically every character is annoying.

Spoiler
Moon Girl - insisting, now, on being called Moon Girl - is sick of school. It's boring. Everyone is not as smart as she it. Even the Hulk is number eight to her number one. However, Doctor Doom becomes aware that there is a being out there who is smarter than he is and his fragile ego can't handle that. So he sets about to kill (?) Moon Girl. With some help from some of the X-Men, Doctor Strange, The Thing, IronHeart, and the Hulk, Moon Girl discovers that it's not really Doctor Doom at all, but rather a mob of his Doombots. Gathering her comrades (the above+Ms Marvel) she defeats the Doombots to remain the smartest person. Suck it, Doombots.
