They made the new Ms. Marvel a Muslim teenage girl, and one version of Spiderman that is half African-American and half Hispanic. They are continuing this effort with a brand new original character: a pre-teen girl genius.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Fun And Different Story<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new series is titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moon-Girl and Devil Dinosaur<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The main characters are a pre-teen girl genius named Lunella Lafayette and her best friend &#8211; who happens to be a 30-foot dinosaur. The innovative idea comes from an old comic from 1978 about the very intelligent Devil Dinosaur and his caveman pal, Moon-Boy, in a world inhabited by dinosaurs. Instead of Dinosaur World, this new series will be set in modern New York City. The team, compromised of writers Amy Reeder and Brandon Montclare, artist Natacha Bustos, and editors Mark Paniccia and Emily Shaw, is going to focus on Lunella\u2019s character development. She is a special girl but struggles to fit into her environment. &#8220;B<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">randon and I were talking about co-writing books with Marvel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,&#8221; Reeder said, &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and we were really interested in doing something that would be a lot of fun, and that gravitated towards something that wasn\u2019t made yet or wasn\u2019t a main character or popular character for awhile. I like that idea because you get to do a lot with those types of situations. You get to put a lot of creativity into it, and have your voice heard. You\u2019re not quite tied into all the events. So that\u2019s something that attracted us.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8208\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8208\"
