I figured I could put up with Springer and Coletta's art, and Dazzler's mutanthood being announced to the world at large seemed like an interesting plotline. Boy, was I wrong! Lousy plot, lousy characterization, uneven artwork. We see a Dazzler we've never seen before, and one I hope we never see again. She goes home at night and admires herself in the mirror, nude yet, when she gets upset or lonely; she falls for one of the most blatantly phony Hollywood types imaginable, announces to the world she's a mutant just to promote a movie, etc. etc. ad nauseum. Such REALISM! Was I surprised? Naw.... By now you should be able to identify the author of this masterpiece--none other than the (in)famous Jim Shooter, of course. Now that's REALLY 'nuff said, SJBerry
