seawarrior's review against another edition
5.0
Lunella has easily won her way into my list of favorite Marvel characters, and I'm sad to have to say goodbye to her title so soon.
It's also been rough seeing how harsh some adults have been towards this series. I think many of them are missing the significance of having a self-assured young black girl leading her own narrative and refusing to apologize for her intelligence and intuition in order to make the grownups
around her feel more secure. Children often have their opinions and feelings devalued by parents and mentors who claim they're doing it for their own good, and I don't doubt reading a story in which a child is assertive and capable, in spite of many hindrances, is healthy for young people who feel a lack of respect and control in their own lives.
I hope Lunella and Devil Dinosaur will continue to be included in upcoming comics with their same confidence and readiness to disprove anyone who doubts their proficiency, and that the new cartoon appeals to those who have always believed in them.
