Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is a new series from the writers Amy Reeder and Brandon Montclare and artist Natacha Bustos. In this new series, Devil Dinosaur will team up with “pre-teen super genius” Lunella Lafayett, a.k.a. Moon Girl. Assistant editor Emily Shaw, says “[Editor Mark Paniccia] and I were talking about how whenever people come in with young kids, or even just for Mark’s own kids, we don’t have that many publications that we can give to people that have that broad reach…Generally, we’re skewing a little bit older with a lot of our titles and we wanted to create something that adults and kids could really love, like a Pixar feel. That’s where the tone jumped off for us.”

The original Devil Dinosaur advenure took place in an alternate dimension inspired by prehistory, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur will bring those adventures into the modern world. Writer Brandon Montclare says, “What’s really cool is to be able to put a Tyrannosaurus Rex in modern day New York City and also juxtapose with a little girl…You’re going to have a 30-foot dinosaur interacting with a three-and-a-half tall girl…I can’t think of any other book that’s kind of like that, where you have these kind of crazy things that are going to be very different to work on. But if everyone can pull it off, it’s going to be a unique type of storytelling.”
