Collects Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #1-6.

Lunella Lafayette is a preteen genius who wants to change the world, but lives in fear of the Inhuman genes inside her! Now, Lunella's life is turned upside down when a red-scaled beast is teleported from the prehistoric past to a far-flung future we call...today! Together they're the most Marvelous Team-Up of all — Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur! But will they be BFFs forever, or just until DD's dinner time? And Lunella soon learns that there are other problems with having a titanic T-Rex as a pet in the modern-day Marvel Universe. School, for one. Monster hunters are another — especially when they're the Totally Awesome Hulk! Then there's the fact that everyone's favorite dino didn't journey through time alone. Beware the prehistoric savages known as the Killer-Folk — New York City's deadliest tourists!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 3–8—A fun, all-ages comic series with an unlikely heroine and her larger-than-life sidekick. Luna Lafayette is an eight-year-old supergenius who is frustrated with the adults in her life, her dull and unchallenging school and classmates, and by the knowledge that she carries the "inhuman" gene, which will cause a mutation if she becomes exposed to the alien-origin Terrigen Cloud. In BFF (which collects issues one through six), she and Devil Dinosaur haphazardly team up to fight Neanderthals after the T. rex and the prehistoric men are teleported to the present day. In Cosmic Cooties (which collects issues seven through 12), Luna discovers that the Terrigen Cloud gave her the ability to switch bodies with Devil Dinosaur, a power that proves extremely problematic to her science project with a new boy at school and her archnemesis, Kid Kree. The prickly African American fourth grader makes for a unique and inspiring STEM-focused superheroine, and kids will cheer for and laugh at her partnership with the loving but disaster-prone Devil Dinosaur. The action-packed scenes, cameos by the Hulk and Ms. Marvel, and hilarious dialogue make up for the wooden adult characters and uneven pacing of the first few issues. The colorful, slick, and expressive art will have young readers flipping through the pages quickly. VERDICT A wonderful start to a much-needed, well-done, inclusive comic series that deserves a place in all libraries.—Shelley M. Diaz, School Library Journal

Lunella is AWESOME. She's an intelligent, logical, confident-in-herself-and-her-skills girl who hangs with a dinosaur and gets around NYC on roller skates. What's not to like! My 6 year old loved the book as much as I did.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Much Needed and Charming Comic!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Bought this for my niece after reading the digital versions myself to check if they're appropriate for her. She was very happy to receive this, especially after we'd had a conversation about how it often upset her not seeing girl heroes with hair like her's. Its a beautifully drawn and colorful comic (the action sequences are especially charming, I chuckled at the way the cells in which Lunella is shown swinging around by her backpack between DD's teeth as not to put her in harm's way were drawn) with lovely sense of humor and a wonderful protagonist. Lunella reminded me SO much of the cerebral, witty, and determined nature of my niece, I adored her. I would recommend reading it with anyone younger than 12 because it does have some pretty broad vocabulary words and science terms but other than that I absolutely loved it and look forward to buying my niece the next volume for her birthday!

    I am a 42 year old woman. While I certainly lean towards the creative/sci-fi nerd side, I'm more of a small press Expo vs. Comicon person. I LOVE THIS BOOK. Lunella speaks to more than just women and girls, she is any child or adult. Since I was, well, Lunella's age I was reading my brothers X-Men and Doctor Strange comics and I wish we'd had characters like Lunella. Not because the others were lacking, but she is a young woman on the cusp of a life change who uses her wit and resolve to take care of herself and her family. I love it. I just love it. The humor is good, the story line is solid, and I was sorry to finish it. I tried to ration it. I really, really, did. Devil Dinosaur. Why can't *I* have one?!? If you have a kid of any gender who loves good comics, give this a try.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I really liked the style of this series
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I really liked the style of this series. It's a story set in the Marvel Universe with fantastic characters but with a very grounded core story of finding a place to belong and the fear of change. Moon Girl is a kid genius named Lunella who has the inhuman gene that threatens her to change when exposed to terrigen mist. She meets a dinosaur chasing a group of prehistoric cult thugs called the Killer Folk who worship a god embodied by an alien device. Moon Girl tries to get the device, thinking it would help her combat the mist, and ends up partnering up with Devil Dinosaur to chase down both the device and the Killer Folk, all the while dealing with suffering normal school life.

    The first six issues included in this volume sets up the story well and gives credence to Devil Dinosaur returning to our present day while introducing a spunky girl who refuses to give up. The threat that drives her is a great link into main Marvel continuity as well as slightly explores the thoughts of a latent Inhuman on becoming mist-ified. The Killer Folk becoming their own gang in a present day city is inspired enough to be amusing with interestingly dangerous possibilities if they don't just go thug throughout.

    The art is well done and has a cherubic fluidity that gives it slightly bubbly yet sleek shapes that illustrate the actions of the characters well. The colors are bright and inviting yet with a slick effect that reminds me of an animated feature. I especially loved Devil Dinosaur’s flaming eyes and Moon Girl’s roller skating action shots. Great poses and panel layouts are fairly dynamic serving the action.

    What I find slightly disappointing is how quickly the six issues go. Maybe it’s the slightly action focus. For instance, the Totally Awesome Hulk guest-starring while cool does detract from the core story a little when just the fight between him and Devil Dinosaur lasts a whole issue. The parents view on Lunella’s situation is a tad one-dimensional. They don’t really give any true support beyond the standard parental orders of “go to school” and “no extracurricular activities” and only mentioning they know about her inhuman DNA and fear. They mean well, true, but there’s no true depth in my eyes to the interactions. If they actually provided some suggestions, that might have endeared them more to me. As-is , they seem to be just another foil to Lunella’s goals. While that serves plot somewhat it doesn’t really serve character to me.

    What it does get through is the fear Lunella has of her inhuman DNA and her skepticism and disappointment of everyday school life and her parents. Devil Dinosaur could be smarter in interaction but he wasn’t portrayed as truly dumb either. Overall, I’m impressed with the relationship between the two and would love to see more.

    The sixth issue ends on a cliffhanger with Lunella being confronted by the mists she fears so much. Devil Dinosaur takes care of her but it’s hard to say what the result would be. The Killer Folk had ditched their god but it leaves the question of what will they do next. And what about the parents? As one-dimensional as they had been in this volume, I’m personally hoping they’d wise up and become story-serving characters and pull some weight.

    Fun story with endearing main characters and promising plot points, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur the series is off to a good start. I’m looking forward to what happens next.

    I love that Moon Girl is a super intelligent fourth grader and that she is Black. She’s one of my daydreams I used to have in elementary school: that I was brilliantly intelligent and I had a dinosaur to protect me; however, my dinosaur was an imaginary mash up of a pterodactyl (because I wanted to be able to fly away and travel the world) + stegosaurus & brontosaurus lol. I wasn’t a superhero, but a world traveler who was interested in reading, learning, science and having adventures lol.

    This series is perfect for middle grade readers and anyone who is still young at heart.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect read-along book for a reluctant reader
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 3, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I read this with my 7yo son, who decided he didn't want to read because he was “rubbish.” At the same time, he talked about wanting a “real comic book.” I did some research on comic books that were good for kids, and Moon Girl came up over and over again. The reviews were right: this was perfect.

    As a kid that grew up with Spiderman, I loved this comic. Moon girl is a smart kid who gets in trouble because she can be a little too smart with her parents and teachers. She loves science and isn't ashamed of it. Early on, she stumbles on a device that opens a portal which releases Devil Dinosaur into our world. It also releases the Killer Folk, who are the villains of he piece.

    Moon Girl and D Dino become friends and get into a fair amount of trouble. They even have to go up against the Hulk.

    My son loved every second of it. We took it in turns with me to read the dialogue (I usually had to be the baddies or the boring grown ups). We're reading more Moon Girl and his confidence with reading has gone way up. Being able to read things like “Omni-Wave Projector” ha that effect, I suppose. And I loved it to: great characters, compelling story arcs and fantastic artwork. I'm looking forward the point when my son wants to go off and read these by himself, but I'll also be reading them after he's done with them.

    ...would take too long. Moon Girl has an indie feel to it, and despite being set (tangentially) in the Marvel universe it didn't feel weighed down by Marvel continuity. The heroine is Ellen Ripley meets Dexter's Laboratory. And the sidekick...what kid doesn't want their own gigantic pet dinosaur?

    I got this for my niece's 15th birthday and, right away, she was thrilled because it was the first time that she'd seen a comic with a character who is a spitting image of her.

    I didn't get to read it first, but I know she's mad at me for not getting her the next volume, too, because there's a cliffhanger.
