Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Vol. 3: The Smartest There Is by

3.0

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
