It has been a while since we reviewed anything on Ms Blaire aka Dazzler so let's take a few minutes and cover yet another part of her 4-year series. Yes, surprising to those who didn't know, Alison Blaire who at that time didn't join the X-Men actually had a series that lasted 42 issues plus a 4-issue miniseries with the Beast towards the end of her run and also a graphic novel so she is officially more successful than a lot of the X-ladiesAnyway, this issue sees her in her non-superhuman guise ...
She is a young woman who is very much alone as she has had issues with her dad when she decided to embark on a career as a singer while he very much wanted her to follow her footsteps in the legal profession. On top of that, her mom had disappeared when she was but a child. So now, on the cusp of her big movie break and stardom, she has been badly advised about going public on being a mutant
I guess her publicist thought any publicity is better than no publicity
So this issue sees her being swept up in the arms of a man who made it big in the movie industry and she is staying at his place seeing the rewards of being at the top echelon of his chosen industry. Unfortunately, this being a comic, and as the cover clearly indicates, disaster strikes in the form of a tsunami ... and boy did we get an awesome scene of Dazzler standing there a wee little human against this titanic wave ... just ... plain ... wow!
