Rated T
This book doesn't get nearly enough credit for its "all ages" accessible afrofuturist style. Given the fickle nature of Big Two title rotation and the overall social climate, this book has stuck around for a lot longer than I guessed it would have and just about every issue has been a great example of why.

There is a lot of promise with the idea of the "Smartest Person in the World" trapped in a giant dinosaur body, but it feels a little bit wasted with the issue largely being a set up to make Moon Girl look "crazy" to those who witness her during the mind swap -- something that could be used by Princess' advantage later on -- and for Lunella to try to solve things in one of the most reckless ways possible.

Princess Fisk's story continues with some ambiguity and Lunella decides it's time to solve the brain-switching problem. Results are, of course, unexpected. The issue rolls along with the title's usual high standards of storytelling skill, particularly in the art. On the script side, I begin to suspect that scenes petering out inconclusively is a chronic problem for this creative team. It probably bugs grownup readers more than kids. The brain-switching does tend to make it more notable.
