LUNELLA LAFAYETTE is a preteen super genius who wants to change the world-but learned the hard way that it takes MORE than just big brains. Fearful of the monstrous INHUMAN genes inside her, life is turned upside down when a savage, red-scaled tyrant is teleported from prehistoric past to a far-flung future we call TODAY. The pair are many things, and together the most amazing Marvel Team-Up. COLLECTING: MOON GIRL AND DEVIL DINOSAUR 1-6.

(3.5 stars, rounding up.) Fun and something I wouldn't have read if not for this challenge! I love Lunella and her unshakable confidence in herself - while I'm about 25 years older than the target audience, I think that's something that's really important for young girls to see, especially in a young black girl lead character. The story was fine, but for the start of a series, seemed dependent on a crossover, which wasn't great (especially since Marvel crossovers have been so terrible recently). I did like that there were six issues collected in this volume, which seems to be increasingly rare, but definitely makes the collection a better value. The collection ends on a cliffhanger, which is kind of annoying, but I bought the next volume anyway, so I'm probably going to keep reading, because I want to know what happens to Lunella.
