As those of you who know me on Facebook (or even in real life) are aware, 2 1/2 years ago I adopted a 9 year old dog named Spike. Spike is a red Australian Cattle Dog and most definitely the boss of me. He disapproves of most things that I do, but loves me anyway. As I read Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: BFF, I felt very strongly that I was reading Spike’s relationship goals for us. He would really like to be able to pick me up and carry me around.
I have been reading some really amazing comics and graphic novels in the past year, and I have to say that Moon Girl delighted the hell out of me. I am not at all familiar with the adventures of Moon Boy and Devil dinosaur, but I don’t think that lack of knowledge hindered my enjoyment.
Lunella Lafayette, Moon Girl, is a super smart kid in a world not made for super smart kids. She loves science, but hates science class. She is darling without being cute because she does not want to compromise who she is for who everyone else wants her to be, and she is searching for a cure for her Inhuman gene. Devil Dinosaur, the Nightstone, and the Killer People rampage into her life. Initially, she doesn’t like Devil Dinosaur, but he endears himself to her pretty quickly. They battle the Killer People, search for the Nightstone, and have an altercation with the Hulk. They save each other and protect each other. BFF ends on a cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to read what happens next.
I am not joking when I say this is Spike’s greatest desire – to be able to pick me up and move me to where he wants me to stay.
Your dog is adorable and looks like he needs his belly scratched
He likes belly scratches.
Never enough Spike pictures.
I probably would have read this review anyway but the dog picture definitely clinched it. Spike is adorable.
Thanks. He is adorable, and so bossy.
awwww. I have such a huge soft spot for Australian Cattle Dogs but boy can they be bossy.
It has been noted that even among cattle dogs he is particularly bossy, but only to me.
Spike reviews are the best reviews!
He is an infrequent reviewer.
Spike AND Devil Dinosaur! My cup runneth over. I am so looking forward to this, but am now only letting myself re-read books until my backlog is cleared. I’m going to force myself to do a lot of blogging this weekend (probably).
I think you will like it. And I look forward to your reviews.
You tempt me to try graphic novels again… I have not been a fan in the past.
Also, having meet SPIKE! (emmalita is a monster and insists on spelling his name wrong.), I can assure you this review is accurate. He wants only for her to be where he wishes: providing scritches, treats and walkies, not necessarily in that order. Don’t try to interrupt these processes, either.
SPIKE! looks like he requires all the scritches behind the ears. A lovely review and its good that emmalita has discovered Spike’s spirit animal. :)
I am scritching him behind the ears right now.
I have this one in hard copy, as you can see from the picture, and I would be happy to send it to you so that you can try before buying. And I am a MONSTER, but I am the MONSTER SPIKE! deserves.
