pickI kept hearing about this comic and I'm glad to have finally read it! It's about a super smart girl (#16 in the world) who befriends a dinosaur. Mayhem and chaos ensue and a special appearance by an Avenger pops up (he's #8 of the smartest in the world). Loved her outfits throughout and her inventions. Looking forward to reading the rest in the series!

pickYou know that feeling of not realizing a book is in a series until you're already committed? Me too. This is #16 of the "Cap Kennedy" series, though you'd never know it from cover copy. It's plot-driven space melodrama and good for what it is. Don't expect character development or thinky parts. And don't expect a summary of the first fifteen volumes despite references to events from earlier books. Start on number 1, I guess, if you can find it.

> I really liked his style in Sister Carrie which is 300 pgs (!) shorter but even then he was long winded and it‘s so much worse here.

It‘s a wonderful story about a girl who is enchanted to do whatever she is told no matter what, the journey lands her in a predicament with her true love but all in all is a happy ending.
