    OMG!!!! I would die laughing, if they have Devil Dino in a NYC dive bar doing "prehistoric arms"!!! I wonder if D3 had notice that this was a potential option! I gotta pay more attention to the new character releases going forward.

    Question is, 2* or 3* who works well with Devil Dino? No one wants another 4*, right?

    He was supposed to be a one off trophy character. No one was expected to actually level and use him for gameplay. Rather, it is a nice badge character for those of use who stuck with the game for over 1 year, or was there to celebrate anniversary week.

    It would be interesting, if this news starts to change how people view Devil Dino in their roster.

    Except he has some nice scenes in Secret Wars (and a family), and now a re-boot of his comic.. i think they have plans for him. The new girl looks oddly like the middle child of the nova Family introduced in Secret Wars: Infinity Gauntlet. (which the dog rules that book)



    Edit: Reading more about it, looks to be done specifically to make a movie:
    Jack Kirby's Devil Dinosaur returns with an all-new series and a new friend. ... series is being done as an all-ages book with a "Pixar feel" according to Marvel

    With the new comic coming out, do you think they'll do a rework of Devil Dinosaur's powers to make him more legit? I've got more covers for him than most of my 4 stars.

    Yes, they are gearing it towards a Pixar movie, we have 2 threads from around here today because of this. Is it wrong that i am excited and immediately pre-ordered it from my local shop.

    I will laugh so hard they'll have to cart me out of the theater if he has a cameo in The Good Dinosaur...

    I hope D3 redoes his powers and makes him a viable character and makes him part of the pool again.

    The thing is that with the introduction of characters that have passives that trigger off of using active abilities (Prof X, KKhan, Carnage) Dino actually has some use with his cheap purple ability plus it has a slight chance at a cascade. Add in the fact that he has a crazy amount of hp and the damage on his red and green abilities aren't terrible, he has actually become somewhat useful.

    Like R&G, a "re-do" of the current DD into a combo of these two would be fun and gives 2 year players the chance to build the character and 1 year players the chance to get a few covers.

    Having said that... it could be a future 2* / 3*.

    Well ok I caved in and had my BF find me the real covers instead! icon_lol.gif he had a hard **** time finding these and got them from a hidden comic book store near our state borderline. He only paid 1.50 each but he probably spent a lot of money on gas looking for these. Hahahaha

    I like the first cover better instead of the one used in game. I guess the first one didn't make the cut in game cause it has "moon boy" featured instead of the new "moon girl." Even though I don't have devil Dino yet I can at least have his cover physically. It will be interesting to see the new Pixar film and I already called my local comic book store to pre order the new devil Dino and moon girl series. Malcrof, do you also collect the real covers as well?

    Yup, sure do.. and was closing in on completing them until they went and used AF 15 for 1* Spidey.. if D3 could loan me about $7k USD, i could get a low grade copy.

    also, if you have't seen it

    Omg I want that one as well. Darn you, now I have to add that to my BF's search list. icon_lol.gif

    Good thing he collects as well, but mostly DC and my collection is mostly Marvel.

    Yeah he told me now is a good time to get these covers cause once the movie previews appear in TV and all the ads, the value in these will increase. Like the Ant Man movie variant cover went up in $200s easily. There are still some in my search I'm having a hard time finding like the cover for BP used in game.
