So Marvel just announced a new, more all-ages oriented comic called ‘Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur’, which sounds awesome.
It’s been billed as kind of ‘Pixar’ in feel, in terms of it being kid-friendly but appealing to adults, and has dinosaur teaming up with a WOC girl genius? Rad.
Also, a WoC artist drawing for a WoC character, which is a big boost given, to my knowledge, the only other Marvel book that fits that criteria is Silk with Stacey Lee, & it’s cowritten by a woman...
I’m extra super excited by this paragraph of the article, as well:
The character lives in this world where people don’t really get her," Reeder said of Moon-Girl. "That her brain just works a little differently than all of the other kids her age really resonated with us, and that idea of feeling sort of isolated and on your own during that very early time of life we thought was really compelling, and could really resonate with a lot of readers."
Which sounds like Moon Girl is practically canonically neuroatypical/neurodivergent, & I’m already getting happy autistic headcanon thoughts out of here...
