Lunella has easily won her way into my list of favorite Marvel characters, and I'm sad to have to say goodbye to her title so soon. 

It's also been rough seeing how harsh some adults have been towards this series. I think many of them are missing the significance of having a self-assured young black girl leading her own narrative and refusing to apologize for her intelligence and intuition in order to make the grownups 
around her feel more secure. Children often have their opinions and feelings devalued by parents and mentors who claim they're doing it for their own good, and I don't doubt reading a story in which a child is assertive and capable, in spite of many hindrances, is healthy for young people who feel a lack of respect and control in their own lives. 

I hope Lunella and Devil Dinosaur will continue to be included in upcoming comics with their same confidence and readiness to disprove anyone who doubts their proficiency, and that the new cartoon appeals to those who have always believed in them.

A weird, entertaining story complimented by adorable art. I was honestly surprised to see such low ratings for this book and I wonder if actual middle-grade readers would have conflicting opinions about its quality. I am definitely looking forward to the sequel!

This is one of the most enjoyable comics I've ever read. Humphries is incredibly skilled in balancing humor with emotion to create engaging stories and characters that you can't help but love, and I was awestruck by Quinones' artistic talent and ability to switch between styles. I'm grateful the title was renewed for a few more issues and I'd recommend it to anyone who has even a minimal interest in superheroes.

This book was a refreshing and unique portrayal of a"tortured genius" who has seemingly doomed herself to never find happiness. Our protagonist Caroline is a complex person, who is as sensitive and obsessed with adoration as she is cruel and incapable of accepting admiration. Pessimistic and pseudo-intellectual characters typically irritate me but Caroline was created with such care that I couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards her even during her most self-destructive rants. 

A lot of young people can probably relate to Caroline and learn from the example she sets. An important part of growing up is accepting that life will never be exactly how we'd dreamed, and that isn't necessarily an unfortunate thing. Caroline's experience with getting stuck in "analysis paralysis" and inability to find satisfaction is shown as something that was almost inevitable for her to suffer through after spending most of the narrative actively tearing down others' successes and feelings of fulfillment. In my perspective, this story is a reminder to release bitterness in favor of valuing the people who put up with us even at our worst and to find worth in the act of creation, including when it doesn't amount to what we'd desired.
