78. Dazzler vol 1 #10 ... Marvel ...

The cover has the words Enter Galactus and we see Dazzler about to be seized by Galactus. So naturally that kind of cover means you have to buy and see what's the content, right? I mean, our mutie gal can transmute sound into light but we are talking about the big Galactus here, right? Right!

So hype is done

And for the contents? It actually is quite riveting. A lot going within. We see the main thrust of the story with Galactus and one of his drones studying Alison Blaire (Dazzler) and determining that she is the right candidate for Galactus' small task

And that task?

To enter a dimension where Galactus' current herald, Terrax has gone and not returned for the nasty F***er has decided to be ruler supreme there thanks to the power cosmic he got from Galactus. So Galactus wants him back for judgment or some such shit and they nabbed Dazzler. Naturally being a super powered being (I didn't say heroine) she had to put up with some kind of defence but that all crumbled quickly as she understood what's going on and deciding to go ahead with it

All the while, as this is an ongoing series from Marvel, sideplots abound including Wendell Vaughn or Quasar and Project Pegasus

So a lot going on, a little action ... as it is a build up issue for the clash with Terrax in the next issue. For a build up issue, it isn't quite a bore and the cover ... isn't entirely misleading
