Marvel Introduces "Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur" By Reeder, Montclare & Bustos

[Tien Long]

Looks like a fun title! I'll definitely check this out! Indeed, I don't feel that there are enough all-ages reading material and I'm sure that my students would love this title. Lunella looks precocious and clever. Indeed, I like this tagline of an Inspector Gadget who knows what's she doing.

As for what happened to Moon Boy, well, I don't think we should ignore that. Moon Boy was a part of Devil Dinosaur's history and I'm sure Moon Boy means a lot to Devil Dinosaur. I think it would be cool to bridge the past and present if he showed up in whatever capacity.

Still, this appears to be Lunella's story. Let us all be open and excited for what happens with her. I sure am.

Edit: Y'know thinking it over, part of me really wishes that Justin Seyfert and his Sentinel were still around. I think it would have been cool to see Justin and Lunella getting into a shouting match over who was better, the Sentinel or Devil Dinosaur.

Count me in! A girl with a T-Rex! Sounds just amazing, throw in the inspector Gadget nod and I'm already hoping for team ups here with different characters.

Tony: Ah...Nice Dinosaur?....
Devil: Grrrrr.....

Side note, I would be okay if this had a Moon-Boy too, co protagonists can be a lot of fun. I'm a bit worried about the whole Moon-boy not there suddenly, I don't like the idea of the character dying suddenly or getting eaten or something or just going poof. If Devil's more like a pet that could be a heart ripping moment right there.

Very interesting concept...I'm curious to see what kind of stories they will tell. Although I do have some issues/concerns:

1: I'm totally ok with this being all ages, really, but how well does marvel think people react to their kids reading a book about a character with Devil in the name? I personally would let my kids read it if I had kids, but I imagine the more conservative folks would be concerned.

2: To what I said earlier; what kind of stories are they going to tell? I think 99% of people can agree that you add a t-rex to anything and it's awesome, but what is she going to be doing the whole time? personally, I hope the focus in on her being a super-genius and make this a crazy sci-fi adventure book, kinda like a wacky Saturday morning cartoon

P.S. does anyone else feel a big hero 6 vibe coming from this or is it just me?

all in all, I would say i'm more intrigued than I am excited.

also, I hope the fact that its ll ages doesn't mean the cut short on devils ferocious/savage nature. he is a giant red t-rex. he's gotta feed/hunt. I don't need or want anything excessive, but don't shy away from having an apex predator as a pet.

It's canon in that kinda-sorta-ehhh way.

Well thanks to Al Ewing and the Mighty Avengers it's definitely canon. NEXTWAVE was revealed to be extra dimensional nasties messing with Monica and company for giggles.

[GoingPostal]

I'm assuming that the latter was the mistake. The assistant editor refers to her as a "kid".

I'm calling anyone bellow 18 a kid personally.

[Silvermoth]

This is going to be so amazing. I really hope Disney helps promote this through their media like Disney magazine etc because this looks like an absolute winner.

[Tayne Japal]

I was enjoying Rocket Girl. I wish this title success as I wait patiently for it to wrap up so Rocket Girl can resume.

moon boy wasn't white. he was a monkey/ape humanoid.

[Pav]

This just makes me miss Gert and Old Lace.

If only someone could've recaptured BKV's magic.

-Pav, who thinks Devil Dino is fun but won't be buying this...

This sounds cool, my 3 year old daughter is just getting into comics a bit, maybe this is something we can follow together. I'm glad Marvel are trying to do a wider range of titles at the moment; hope some of it sticks.

[Hilden B. Lade]

I would much rather have read a solo on-going about Nextwave's Devil Dinosaur and his rise to power... but it's good that a company is trying to make a push for some more all-age books.

[Immortal Weapon]

I would much rather have read a solo on-going about Nextwave's Devil Dinosaur and his rise to power...

Thanks a lot. I want that book now.

[protege]

Thanks a lot. I want that book now.

yeah, I'm going to have to look into it myself.

Also, this could be the next Big Hero Six for Disney. Except for the word Devil in the title it's a concept that screams for a cute animated film.
