Devil Dinosaur is my favorite Jack Kirby creation. Sure, you can have your Silver Surfer, or your Orion, or your Captain America…but for me, I’ll always stand with the big red T-Rex! Plus, his very existence allowed for amazing images like this… It looks like Marvel holds the character in equally high-esteem, because he’s coming […]

Last week some of our most elite staffers that contribute to The Beat found themselves in an impossible situation. When our entire team worked on apprehending Spider-Man rogue Mysterio, he suddenly opened a portal to a brand new comic book world — one very familiar to those who are acquainted to the work of Jack Kirby…that’s […]

Earlier today, Marvel officially announced a number of new titles at their retailer-only event. However, they also revealed a few more titles that were meant to remain a secret. Now, a source has revealed these secrets to the world:

The mystery behind what Marvel was planning with their Planet Hulk teaser has just been officially revealed with a comic entitled…Planet Hulk! The tale features the creative team of Sam Humphries on writing and Marc Laming on art, who are chronicling the new adventures of Hulk, Steve Rogers, and Devil Dinosaur during the upcoming Secret Wars crossover. CBR broke the news and ran an exclusive interview with Jack Kirby creation Devil Dinosaur on the inception of the brand new series–Yes, you read that sentence correctly.
The Dino was interviewed in place of author Sam Humphries, who took a vacation to New Attilan. Fans can look for Planet Hulk in May, and take note that this series falls under the Warzones! banner of Secret Wars.
“RAAAAAAUGH!! The scent of blood burns my nostrils,” said Devil Dinosaur to CBR. “The Captain and I are far, far from the colosseum. The colosseum of battle, and death. The colosseum where we are warbound. “May he who dies, die well.” But death follows us to Greenland. This is a place where we HUNT. We hunt the RED KING!”
This crossover bodes well for the company, as Marvel is continuing to take advantage of some really quirky ideas for tie-ins including the Garth Ennis project announced earlier this week. Where Monsters Dwell mixes World War I with more Dinosaurs. This week’s new Marvel announcements contain all the dinos that we could possibly ask for.
It seems that the extinct animal is hunting for Steve Rogers who appears to be caught in his crosshairs:
“ROOOOOAWL! The Captain and I are WARBOUND. We fight in the coliseum. Every day, the Captain’s mighty axe, bathed in blood. From different lands, yet we are brothers. Brothers in battle. I will kill all who fight the Captain! I will smash their skulls in my TEETH. I will rend their flesh in my CLAWS! They will know THE FURY OF DEVIL DINOSAUR!!”
Finally, lets give the creature a hand for some extraordinary etiquette in the manner in which the Devil Dinosaur signs out his emails:
ALL HULK FALL UNDER OUR RAGE!!!
If you have any follow up questions, I will be happy to address.
Many thanks and have a great day.

looks like the character was ripped off from action labs fight like a girl
I love the fact that there are more diverse characters coming from the big two. I just wish they’d be created from whole cloth. Do so many (most? all?) have to have borrowed names or be new versions of old characters raided from the catalog? If they’re trying to lure young, new readers, those names from the past aren’t going to mean much anyway. Less echoes and more fresh voices, please.

Dear Marvel,
Back to the drawing board!
Obviously not the EC Moon Girl.
