Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #29 Review
spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers
The ‘Fantastic Three’ story-arc comes to a very surprising conclusion in this latest installment of the adventures of the world’s smart best girl; from the creative team of Brendan Montclare, Natacha Bustos and Tamra Bonvillain. Quick recap and review following the jump.
I had no idea this issue was coming out this week and, caught off guard, I’m going to have to offer up a briefer than average review due to time constraints (Thursdays are extra busy for me). So apologies for the brevity and lack of depth in the analysis.
Anywho, the vindictive Super Skrull has come to earth and stolen the raw materials needed to create an ultra-charged particle accelerator... one powerful enough to rip apart dark matter and open a doorway to an anti-universe. Within this anti universe is the being known as The Omnipotis, a creature of absolute destruction who has the ability (and intention) to destroy not only the earth but the entirety of the universe. Not good.
Teaming up with The Thing and The Human Torch, Moon Girl has tried to stop The Super Skrull but the trio proved no match for him. Together, Lunealla, Ben and Johnny are quite formidable yet they are missing a key ingredient… they are lacking a key variable needed to truly prevail.
Lunella has thought long and hard on who it is that they need to recruit to their team in order to get the equation just right.
In the meantime, The Fantastic Three have been temporarily sidetracked taking on the ghoulish threat known as the Cellar Dweller, a villain who can manifest childhood fears into monstrous beasts. Moon Girl, the Torch and The Thing are able to chase off this foe and save Lunella’s friends, Zoe and Eduardo, but it’s a victory that is short lived… they still have the threat of the Omnipotis to contend with.
Beckoning The Silver Surfer, Lunella catches a ride to go speak with Galactus who has come to the East Side merely to bear witness to the end of the universe. Galactus has chosen not to act. It is not his place to stand in the way of the natural order of things. If he and the whole universe is to end then that is how it is meant to be and he will not try to intercede.
Lunella calls his bluff. She claims that Galactus has chosen not to intercede merely because he is likely not strong enough to rebuff the Omnipotis. Yet there should be no shame in going down fighting. Lunella has a plan, she just needs Galactus and the Surfer to buy her a bit of time and hold off the Omnipotis for as long as they can. Galaxies seems unmoved, but it turns out that Lunella’s words have resonated with him.
The Omnipotis has finally arrived. It manifests as a giant woman with an outfit not terribly dissimilar to that of Galactus. The two astral being trade words and Omnipotis mocks Galactus that the power he has endowed tot he Silver Surfer has diminished him. Galaxies has traded a portion of his power cosmic to create The Silver Surfer and by doing so rendered himself weaker. Galaxies disagrees. It is true that he has siphoned off a portion of his power to grant the Surfer his abilities, yet the two help one another, they are colleagues, friends and hence have become something larger than merely the sum of their parts. It’s a theme that is central to this arc as a whole.
The time to talk is over, Galactus, The Surfer and Omnipotis get to fighting and it’ll only be a matter of time before all of reality is destroyed.
Back on her rooftop of her family’s brownstone, Lunella is working desperately on a special device that utilizes the inter-dimensional search engine that comprises HERBIE the robot’s central processor. For all her intellect, Lunella has never been good at explaining herself and she is basically forced to yell at Ben and Johnny to relax and let her work. She has a plan, she knows what the team needs in order to succeed, the others just need to trust her and let her continue on with her work.
The portal that The Super Skrull has opened to enable entrance of Omnipotis has also opened access to the omniwave matrix, gateway to all the possible alternate realities of the known universe. With HERBIE’s aide, Lunella has sought out the one alternate dimension where this missing variable can be found.
She’s found it and quickly tosses Ben and Johnny a pair of new uniforms to put on. They do as they’re asked, yet continue to be mystified as to what Lunella is up to. At first, Ben imagines this new uniform might be some sort of anti-super-skrull armor, but both are just their old uniforms with the number four symbol in place of a number three.
Moon Girl emerges from the Omniwave portal herself and she too is wearing a Fantastic Four uniform; and she’s not alone. Devil Dinosaur accompanies her and he too has his own dinosaur-snapped Fantastic Four togs.
Yes, Devil Dinosaur is the missing ingredient; he is the key addition to the team needed for our heroes to prevail. And it sure is good to see him back.
Here the issue ends and that is what makes the conclusion so surprising. The story hasn’t concluded; it’s just not the Fantastic Three anymore, it’s The Fantastic Four! And we’ll have to wait until the next installment to see how the team of Moon Girl, The Human Torch, The Thing and Devil Dinosaur end up saving the day.
At first blush, Devil Dinosaur may seem an odd choice to round out this new iteration of the Fantastic Four. Sure he’s a big lumbering tyrannosaurus, but that kind of all he is and The Thing has already got the brute force thing covered. Yet that is beside the point. It’s about synergy… about a unit being greater than the sum of its parts. The original Fantastic Four was never the most powerful team in the Marvel Universe… they weren’t as mighty as the Avengers or as strong as The X-Men. And yet, when the real earth-ending threats came about, it was always the FF that stepped up to save everything. There was something about them that made them unstoppable… it wasn’t their individual powers, but rather the unseen ‘fifth force’ that was derived by way of their cohesion as a group and family.
Recreating this ‘fifth force’ is what Lunella has been so intent on reestablishing. She was solving an equation for a higher order kind of mathematics… one that defies my capacity to explain it. The x-factor Lunella discovered she needed was Devil Dinosaur. He fulfills that central role that will enable this new version of the Fantastic Four to be like the original and achieve a power greater then the sum of it’s parts.
Whether or not Lunella’s math is right, if this new Fantastic Four can succeed, remains too be seen… and we’ll have to wait until issue #30 to find out!
Lots of fun, with excellent art (as always) by Bustos and Bonvillain. Recommended, three and a half out of five Lockjaws!

Re-watched the episodes again and I realized something else!
While Eduardo didn't appear in the episode "Kid Kree", he’s fully aware of how close Marvin's gotten to Lunella in the short time they've gotten to know each other. Clearly there was some off screen jealousy.
In "Wish-Tar" (the episode right after "Kid Kree") look who Eduardo's seen hanging out with!
The same girl who insulted Lunella's hair in "Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow"!
While Eduardo did go to the dance with this girl in the episode "Dancing with Myself", this doesn't stop him from still having feelings for Lunella...
Or being jealous of Marvin. So he clearly isn't romantically interested in this girl!
Of course I've got questions!
- While we all can OBVIOUSLY see why Lunella would hang out with Marvin, why would Eduardo hang out with this girl? The only things they seem to have in common are the latest trends.
- Will we get a name reveal for this girl in a future episode? Seriously! She's maybe the only side character with lines whose name HASN'T been revealed!
- Did Eduardo ask her to the dance (because he thought Lunella wouldn't be interested), or did she ask him because she didn't wanna be dateless (she obviously didn't seem into Eduardo at the dance)?
- Since we're getting more of Eduardo this season, will we be seeing more of that girl as well? Maybe that Hater Symbiote will return!
I'd love to you what you guys think!
