hobbitfreddie's review against another edition

While not terrible this second volume was just really mediocre with a lot of flaws. It’s probably worse than the first volume, but it’s still an alright read. I’d give it a 6/10. I probably won't go further in the series for now though.
Art: The art isn’t too special, it’s superhero style but less detailed and more cutesy? It’s for all ages I think so the style is supposed to kids probably. The panels way too colorful to me. The poses and expressions are fine but seem limited. Nothing really caught my eye, art wise. The fights are alright I guess.
Character: The reviews from the first volume seemed to dislike Lunella’s child prodigy character, I didn’t really have a problem with it until now. They seem to really point out how smart she is, but I feel like they dumbed her down in this. In the first volume I could definelty call her smart, but here it’s just yeah I guess she’s smart, but smartest person in the world, idk. Minor nitpick though. I disliked her character a bit in this, yeah she’s flawed and supposed to grow, but I just couldn’t like her character. I you want to see flawed heroes grow but I don’t really see that. Her inner monoulouge is repetitive, and her bond with DD is just really bland. She has a dinosaur and she’s pretty mean to it, come on. It’s just kinda annoying to watch. Kid and their pet is such an easy thing to get right. I found myself like the new character Captain Kree more than her.
Story: I’ll give it points for actually trying to have themes and arcs instead of just standard super hero stuff. And the super hero stuff is creative. The antagonists in this series are fun so far. However Lunella’s repetive “I don’t fit in here” gets bland. I wish they expanded more on why. Because that is a thing that a lot of people experience, and this is aimed towards all ages. Would be good to shed some light on that problem. I didn’t like the body swap stuff and they get doing it, like they ran out of ideas, it really slows down the story. The Ms Marvel stuff was probably the best part, because you actually see Lunella start to go through an arc.
I think if they gave Lunella better arcs, and use DD better, I’d easily find myself enjoying this.

Y’all are killing me with these ratings! Are we reading the same book?
I love the illustrations, but I can’t stand the main character. I was hoping for Moon Girl to be sassy and sarcastic, but she’s such a brat! And she’s so mean to the dinosaur.

This volume got a bit confusing at times, but I think it all came together at the end.
I was going to rate this lower purely for Marvin's declaration of love, but Lunella's immediate response of "no" saved it for me. I literally said, out loud to myself, "You are nine years old. Don't even talk to me about that." I understand that some people will think it's cute, but I absolutely cannot handle this, so I was VERY glad to see Lunella instantly reject him.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur continues to be an incredibly important comic about coming of age and sticking to your guns even when nobody seems to get you. I wish I'd had this comic growing up and I hope it's getting to the kids who need it now. A good read for all ages.

Much better than the first volume. Tbh, the quotes from different real life scientists at the beginning of each issue is the best part. I did start to get attached to the character once Ms. Marvel makes a cameo and we figure out what Lunella is going through with her terrigenesis

It's basically a genius girl meets Clifford the big red dinosaur! It has some really nice character and she acts like her age despite being really smart, and with her new powers kinda match her personality because she's kinda a brute! :P I'm really excited to see what kinda adventures she'll get into when she learns to control them better. and I LOVE how much she looks up to Ms.Marvel, reminds me of a young Ms.Marvel herself. This Really great if you love kids who are very capable, independent, and of course DINOSAURS! ~Ashley

This was just fun. The characterization of Lunella is excellent. In fact I liked the work on all the characters. It was well written and well drawn. I look forward to seeing where this story goes from here.
