"Robert Kirkman has said that he formed the idea for his new ongoing series after deciding to write a comic book that his 5-year-old son could enjoy. Kirkman launches Super Dinosaur this month through his Skybound imprint at Image Comics, an all-ages series about a teen prodigy who has a super-evolved Tyrannosaurus Rex for a best friend. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s a fun-loving, videogame-playing, young human person in a dinosaur body because his brain has been altered to work like a human brain,&amp;quot; Kirkman told Newsarama. &amp;quot;He has fun with our main character Derek Dynamo and they get into all kinds of trouble.&amp;quot; Kirkman claimed that he came up with the concept with his Astounding Wolf-Man collaborator Jason Howard after realising that they both wanted to create a comic that they could read with their children and enjoy together. &amp;quot;I kind of realised that I write comics for a living and that&amp;#039;s a pretty cool thing for a kid to have a dad doing,&amp;quot; Kirkman explained. &amp;quot;But I don&amp;#039;t do anything he could read.&amp;quot; Kirkman, best known for his Eisner Award-winning horror series The Walking Dead, said that he is now able to test out ideas for Super Dinosaur on his son in order to predict his audience&amp;#039;s reaction.  Super Dinosaur #1 is due to be published by Image Comics on April 20. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
