What happened to Moon Girl! Suddenly she’s just a brat.
Hopefully she gets back to her precocious but nice self soon

50/100.

Obviando el primer número (¡niños, no fuméis!) -que ha sido horrible-, el resto ha bajado un poquito el nivel. El dibujo de Natasha Bustos me sigue encantando, pero Brandon Montclare me ha aburrido un poco, y es algo que no me había pasado nunca con Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. Espero que se recupere en el próximo volumen.

more like a 2.5 Moon girl is a bit pompous and annoying.

I wish this book had spent more time on the various plot points.

I’ve been faithfully reading this comic for many volumes now. I first picked it up to share with my kids because of the kid protagonist (Lunella) and the dinosaur (of course.) It’s been a fun read for the most part, but at the end of every book I’m left feeling sad for Lunella who feels that she’s too smart for her school, no one understands her, that she has these responsibilities to her intellect and her dinosaur that no one else can fulfill or comprehend. There are a couple of her classmates who reoccur in the stories, but who never quite crossover into friends as Lunella keeps them at a prickly distance. Her parents mean well but push Lunella to do conventional things like go to school every day and be home at a reasonable hours. In short, Lunella’s story, even six volumes in, still feels super lonely and not the fizzy romp that the kooky action and bright red dinosaur suggest it will be. I’m still glad it exists to share with my kids, but at the end of each book, I’m left feeling down and not particularly looking forward to watching Lunella continue to struggle with the isolation (real or imagined) and obligations of her big brain.
