Sinceramente? Eu estava muito ansioso para ler Marvel-Verse: Garota da Lua e o Dinossauro Demônio porque a Panini Comics Brasil nunca trouxe uma historinha sequer desse título que era um relativo sucesso nos EUA (durou quase 50 edições por lá). Pensava que era preconceito da Panini por ser uma protagonista preta e mulher. Mas lendo o quadrinho percebi que, diferente do quadrinho da Garota-Esquilo, que é mega divertido e também ignorado pela Panini, as histórias da Garota da Lua e o Dinossauro Demônio são bem ruins e chatas. A começar com a protagonista, Lunella Lafayette uma personagem difícil de o leitor ter alguma conexão porque parece que ela odeia todo mundo (menos o Dinossauro Demônio), uma chata de galochas, literalmente (porque ela usa galochas). E o roteiro, u não sei se foi problema da tradução ou o que, mas me pareceu incrivelmente truncado, os personagens não pareciam estar azeitados uns com os outro, me pareceu faltarem informações, palavras em locais confusos, enfim. Essa é uma história em quadrinhos da Marvel, mas foi uma grande DCpção para mim no fim das contas...

I wanted to like this book more than I actually did. On one hand, it was a fun little read but on the other…. Moon Girl kinda came across as a brat to me. And I get that she’s got a chip on her shoulder being the smartest person in the world—and maybe the goal is to see her grow and mature into that role—but in this collection, her attitude was never shown as wrong or necessarily even misguided… just… oh, she’s smart so she’s got this even if she’s being cocky. (They tried to do the misguided thing a couple of times, but each time it just fell flat—to me at least.) I wasn’t a fan, especially since I was so excited to see a young girl hero who was all about the smarts—what a great role model for young girls! But the way she was actually written… just kinda felt annoying. So yeah, like I said: I was bummed. I’m hoping she’s a cooler character than this collection made her seem.

For a book about the smartest person in the world there are a lot of inaccurate statements made by her in this book (ex: cold blooded animals don't feel the cold). Also, Moon Girl is very egotistical. Not only is she full of herself but she is very condescending to others. Not a likeable character at all.

Moon Girl is annoying AF. Not necessarily a bad book, but I really dislike the main character's attitude of superiority, and all her "I'm the smartest in the world" crap. Don't really see the point for the dinosaur either. Art is cute though, and seems like younger audiences would like it a lot. Me? I won't be reading any more of this anytime soon.

Muito legal a origem da menina da lua!! Queria que esse compilado de histórias dela fossem só sobre ela e do dinossauro, pq quando aparecem outros herois no meio eles arrastam a qualidade da história pra baixo junto com eles, nossa péssimo, sério. Achei insuportavel esse plot do quarteto bosta vindo atormentar a menina, nossa parece que eles vieram dar lição de moral nela sendo que nada tinha acontecido, sei la, parecem aquelas brigas meio mulher maravilha x superman que fazem só pra ter um arco de intriga e depois deles se entendimento no final da HQ, tres vezes meu ovo; ovo, ovo, ovo.
A história solo dela com o dinossauro é fantastica, aquela outra com o homem aranha é super chata, a com o thor é pior ainda, não poderia ligar menos pra esse idiota e besta, e aquela do quarteto fantastico é pra fechar com chave de bosta. Ela claramente se garante sozinha com o companheiro jurassico dela, não entendi pq sentiram a necessidade de ficar agrupando ela com os herois mais conhecidos, da a impressão que nao acreditam no potencial da menina da lua sozinha, ai ao inves de termos intrigas com a vida pessoal dela e como é dificil ser heroina, etc e tal, a gente tem que ver marmanjo barbado brigando com criança.

I love the idea of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur but the execution here was pretty awful. Most of the art is not very good and the stories are boring. For instance, Loki's "riddle" isn't a riddle at all and everything seems to be solved by brute force, rendering Lunella's intellect moot. Worse, either Moon Girl has a one note personality or she just doesn't get to show her personality in these particular comics. The only good thing I can say is this is a very slim volume so I didn't waste much of my life reading it.

After reading and watching Ant-Man and The Wasp and Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania, I got Marvel high and wanted to read more of the Marvel-verse. Ok, so Marvel-Verse is about collected stories about each hero, heroes and even villains. I used to read Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur back in my college days, that's why this one's my favorite so far

I love Moon-Girl but the Marvel-verse books always fall a little flat to me though this one seemed like a better collection of stories than some of the other marvel-verse books I’ve read.
