The Perfect Show For All Ages

Much like every Marvel project so far, Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur has its title characters based on characters in the comics. We all love a friendly neighborhood hero and the 13-year-old Lunella Lafayette is ready to steal your hearts. Lunella, a young and ambitious genius lives with her family that owns one of the last roller skating rinks in New York’s Lower East Side. She gets to working with a dangerous time vortex, and it all just gets a bit out of hand. She ends up bringing a T-Rex (Devil Dinosaur) into New York. Likely, it’s time for them to team up, and Lunella and Devil Dinosaur help protect the community.
