(a) Giving Dazzler an updated look from disco diva with make up and skates to Aerobics instructor Dazzler in blue and headband (sigh) - I actually have no problems with both(b) Guest stars - X Men's Wolverine and Colossus - I guess they believe that with this, the sales will surge and I am sure this issue did but there isn't much happening here to make the casual fan come back for more. What do I mean? Read on
Basically, after the last few issues worth of life moments where Dazzler tries to be regular but still faced challenges in the form of all sorts of situations that actually require the usage of her mutant powers, she decided to go back to school to fine-tune her powers. Where is that?
Why the X School for Gifted Youngsters and as part of her program, she gets Wolverine and Colossus. As for the reasons why? It is obvious. Wolverine then and Wolverine now has the same qualities - tough guy and fan fave. Add together obligatory strong guy and you have a winning issue and ... it works!
It's interesting to see them track down Alison the Dazz and equally interesting to see her giving it to them. After all, she isn't an amateur even if she doesn't always think in terms of heroes or rather super heroes
It's a good read - told in one and a good turn in direction for the series. However (SPOILER ALERT) it isn't enough to turn the series around and within 4 issues, Dazzler the ongoing series ended for good. It has never been revived even though she then went on to star in a 4-issue limited series with the Beast and became a member of the X team from way back then
