Her reluctancy to be a superhero gave the book a fresh take on the genre. She didn't burst into action, she fought because she was fed up and frustrated. <br /><br />The book was maybe too campy and a little pervy in their depiction of Alison. I think it would have benefitted from a female creative team. But it's worth a read, for the soap opera alone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02716446199269941193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-88320638314598103392018-03-20T19:59:46.420-04:002018-03-20T19:59:46.420-04:00I liked how Alison evouled through her own book an...I liked how Alison evouled through her own book and the Xmen when she became a member after her book died off, I felt she was becoming a stronger personality and liked the play off between her and Rouge and Wolverine. I was a sap and bought her comic often I enjoy a good female hero when i get the chance and Ms Marvel and Spider Woman had died off too.<br /><br />By the way the first panel where Spider man has the villains suspended from a lamppost always makes me wonder, that webbing dissolves in an hour right? What if the cops are real busy and cant get there before they fall? ^^Iainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-36820424529082800892018-01-21T16:57:07.699-05:002018-01-21T16:57:07.699-05:00I always questioned the creation of Jubilee at a t...I always questioned the creation of Jubilee at a time when Dazzler was actually a regular member of the X-men. I always thought they had pretty similar powers that didn't add much to the power of the team.<br /><br />On the plus side, she is one of the very few mutant characters who the last few years have been good to. I thought Greg Pak and Brian Michael Bendis wrote her very well and did more for her than the first 30 years did.

Her stage name perhaps sums up the situation: Here is a character who "dazzles." Does <i>that</i> sound very interesting? How is a reader convinced to buy a comic where the principal character's power is to dazzle?<br /><br />On a more positive note, you might want to check out DeFalco's run on <i>Mighty Thor</i>, a book and world which finally seemed to be a good fit for his style.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-5871856829513049752018-01-17T18:55:07.889-05:002018-01-17T18:55:07.889-05:00I am an X-Men fanatic.

I’m not sure if he would make me more or less likely to enjoy it (he wrote some good stories but his misses generally are horrible). The idea of a Dazzler comic doesn’t really feel like it fits in the Jim Shooter Marvel era.
