If there is a perfect example of what Marvel's Legacy project should be delivering it's this book. Classic art, with a modern twist. Classic characters and new characters combing to provide humor, sensitivity and drama. Well done to Montclare and Bustos - they've delivered up my highlight of Legacy so far. Moon Girl (and eventually) Devil Dinosaur has made the Legacy transition in style. Read Full Review
Disney should consider turning Lunella and her T-Rex into a cartoon at this point. She's a fantastic character and a potential hit that could bridge to other Marvel characters constantly. Read Full Review
Moongirl transition into Marvel Legacy was smooth as silk!!!! Still a vastly underrated book!!
"Moon Girl without Devil Dinosaur" is off to a roaring start as Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm fall into Lunella's orbit. The art and characterization are well up to this title's usual lofty standards. While DD's absence is keenly felt - especially by young readers, I bet - he still plays a tremendous role in influencing Lunella's thoughts. From a grownup perspective, it's pretty magnificent storytelling and it illustrates Lunella's growth in a beautiful "showing not telling" way. But some of the character intricacies are *so* subtle that I wonder if I'm not reading into the comic and giving writer Brandon Montclare unearned extra credit. It's a good book for sure, but I think if it were a great one I wouldn't have that doubt.
