“There’s always been a healthy debate about which super-genius is the smartest. Is it Tony Stark? Reed Richards? Victor Von Doom? Hank Pym? Amadeus Cho? The answer is gonna shock the Marvel Universe when it’s revealed to be 9-year-old Inhuman Lunella Lafayette,” said Paniccia.
According to Reed’s Twitter, Issue 9 of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur are out today. If there was ever a time to get into comic books, it’s now.
