Join Lunella Lafayette – aka Moon Girl – and her trusty T-rex sidekick, Devil Dinosaur, in their biggest adventure yet! In the first of three one-shots, Moon Girl takes on the whole Marvel Universe alongside Miles Morales, the Avengers and the X-Men. Don’t miss this new story from acclaimed writer Mohale Mashigo!

I’d recommend, again, making sure you have knowledge of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Miles Morales, The Avengers and the X-Men first.

Set shortly after the events of the group’s first appearance, brace yourself for a wild ride and guest stars aplenty – including the original FF. Plus, a series of mystery villains that you’ll never see coming!

As this follows on from this team’s previous run, you’ll want to check out 1991’s Fantastic Four by Walter Simonson first.
