Creators Gabriel Valentin and Ernie Najera had this to say in honor of the release:
“Everyone is born with a super power, It’s called the power of imagination. And Digital Lizards of Doom is here to celebrate that creative wonder, while teaching life lessons that kids of any age can take with them into their day-to-day lives.”
The beauty of Digital Lizards of Doom is that it isn’t JUST a graphic novel! From the Lava or Licorice Puppet Show to the DLOD Band and their music, to exciting coloring sheets, Digital Lizards of Doom jumps out of the pages! Find out more below
“Lava or Licorice” is a fun, comedic and educational puppet game show intended for kids between the ages of 7-12. Spun off from the graphic novel series Lava or Licorice features characters Pineapple Pete, Dizzy Doom, Commander EKO, Dana Deathly, and new addition DJ Vinnie Volcano. Think Kids-Jeopardy meets The Floor is Lava.
Here’s a bit more about the in-world story of Lava or Licorice: In a hidden corner of the Digital Lizards of Doom universe, on a tropical beachy planet, DJ Vinnie Volcano welcomes you to watch a game show inside his “belly of flaming fire!” Demon and trickster, Pineapple Pete, is up to no good once again, trapping lovable Dizzy Doom, stoic Dana Deathly, and the ever-frustrated Commander EKO in jailed boxes dangling over molten hot lava! Oh no! (Oh wait, this isn’t lava at all, this is pizza sauce?!) The mission, as Pineapple Pete explains it, is: answer a question correctly, get a licorice point, answer it wrong, and get: the lava! Gain 5 licorice points to earn your freedom! Do you think our contestants will ever earn their freedom?!
The cast of the show includes:
- SD Ray Porter from Zack Snyder’s Justice League as Commander EKO
- Alexa House from Power Rangers: Shattered Past as Pineapple Pete
- Amber Grayson from Angel Mountain
- DJ EFN from Warner Music Group’s Drink Champs
- And Dan Brozo, writer and producer for Digital Lizards of Doom as Dizzy Doom “
