Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Vol. 3: The Smartest There Is by Brandon Montclare, Natacha Bustos, Amy Reeder

3.5

I wasn't as big a fan of the storyline this time.

It was like Lunella was declared the smartest person in the world and suddenly everyone and their mother had to get involved. I like cameos, but I was getting a little sick of them by the end of this volume (except Riri/Ironheart, she can stay). Mostly I was just done with their behavior. They were all so condescending to Lunella. Yes, okay, she's nine and has a lot to learn yet. That doesn't mean that any of them have the right to seek her out without an invitation or offer unsolicited advice if she does ask for help with something unrelated. And the way they (mostly Hulk) keep calling her Lunella, even when she's in costume, was so disrespectful.

I did like that Lunella is starting to be a bit nicer to Devil Dinosaur at the end of this volume. I get that her intelligence is a defining characteristic for her, so it's incredibly frustrating for her when people (or dinosaurs) can't keep up with her. But she still doesn't need to constantly call him dumb. Tiny Devil Dinosaur was adorable though.

And I did call that the killer-folk were going to come back.
