BLACK GIRL MAGIC!
• Lunella Lafayette is unequivocally the smartest PERSON (regardless of gender) in the world!
• Your faves could never! But that won't stop them from putting Lunella to the test...
• Case in point: Marvel's mighty mystic Doctor Stephen Strange stops by to see what's so magical about this little girl from Yancy Street.
Rated T+
Yes, the writing team is brilliant in their approach to putting Lunella through her paces. Yes, the book is consistently for all ages without being completely transparent or hokey. But before any of the technical stuff, this book has heart and that counts for a lot. Read Full Review
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur make a great team, especially with some assistance from Dr. Strange to knock Lunella off her balance. If you aren't reading MG and DD, catch up, because if this issue is evidence, this title is tons of fun. Read Full Review
This series has been really good and I hope it sticks around for awhile
another stellar read. takes the pressure off after a long day. built for escapism! Deep themes keep it very compelling. Awesome book!
Lunella is very rude to Dr. Strange and has her first clash with Dr. Doom, all on Halloween. Her ideas about magic and Dr. Doom are frustratingly scattershot, and the way this issue tiptoes around the idea of Doombots is a problem. But the action and pacing are great, and there are a lot of visual treats worked into Natacha Bustos's Halloween extravaganza. Next month's stop on Lunella's Marvel universe tour (X-Men ahoy!) looks promising too.
I am not a regular reader of Lunella's adventures, so I am not one to really say how this issue compares to other issues in the series. The only other issues I have read are the first issue and the Ms. Marvel guest star. Compared to the Ms. Marvel guest star I was not as impressed. Ms. Marvel seemed to act as a mentor of sorts with a guiding hand. The relationship formed was really sweet. While I could see that happening here with Strange trying to show her that magic means that sometimes things do not work on logic, it did not seem to really hit in the same way. Still the issue was loads of fun. The tiny Devil Dinosaur was great and the large Lunella was better.
