252. Dazzler vol 1 #42 ... Marvel ...

The End ... to those who came on the Marvel bandwagon in the 90s and beyond, you may or may not have encountered Dazzler and if you did, you would never expect her to be the first Mutant gal to have her own ongoing series but yes she is the first and even until today none of the X-ladies could hold a candle to her

So after 42 issues and a 4-issue limited series, her story comes to a close ... in all likelihood due to declining sales but you know what? The ending is actually good and well-planned instead of feeling like rushed or left with too many plots

For the past several issues, Dazzler aka Alison Blaire has picked up a bounty hunter and his awesome dog along the way while playing the duo with X-Men alum the Beast in said limited series. And still with each issue, something is brewing when people are sent to take her down, to test her and ... is that glimpses of her past? Her dad and ... her supposedly not around anymore mom?

And the villains introduced along the way are pretty cool too!

So when it finally ends here, it is touching as all the elements are brought together and she finally utilized her power to their limit in order to achieve victory ... but at what cost? To her and the family?

The ending ... well, I shouldn't spoil it for you. I do advise you to hunt down the past 6 issues to get an appreciation of this title
