Dazzler Appreciation

[tetragene]

I'm extremely disappointed that the Latveria fight in one of the "Versus" issues is Colossus vs Spider-Man instead of the FAR PREFERABLE Dazzler vs Spider-Woman

[jstar!!]

I'm surprised we haven't seen any sketches of Dazzler (and hopefully her new costume) since the X-Treme title relaunches in July. I was rereading some of the articles to get more information.

And when it comes to the cast member most X-readers are already well familiar with, Pak bristled with enthusiasm. "DAZZLER!" he declared. "It's kind of hard for me to contain how much I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS CHARACTER. As soon as I started writing her, all the lights went on (pun intended). She's wry and funny and tough and vulnerable and the Marvel Universe's greatest showbiz surviver turned superhero and SHE WILL SAVE THE WORLD WITH ROCK AND ROLL. Shine on, people. Shine on.

"Dazzler's the perfect character to throw into a similar scenario, but with some delicious and surprising twists," he noted. "First, her power set puts her in the right league to lead -- like Cyclops, she can generate tremendous amounts of energy and even can fire powerful solid light bolts, which aren't too far off from Cyclops's optic blasts. But more importantly, she's a hero on the verge. She's gone through an insane number of ups and downs -- she's seen and survived enough to fill an entire season of Behind the Music docs, but she's also still figuring out just where and how she fits into her own world. Plunging her into the massive crises of this alternative reality storyline will test her on every level imaginable. We're about to discover who Alison Blaire really is. And it will be awesome."

Excited!

Oh how I love Twitter.

Hey, wow, I've got a few free minutes. If you have non-spoiler-request questions, I'll do my best to answer!

@krisis
@gregpak Do you think Dazzler does a lot of her own writing, or is she buying demos and changing one word to get a songwriting credit?

@gregpak
@krisis She's working on a new album. All original material, all her own songs.

@krisis
@gregpak I wonder how royalties work when you co-write with someone in an alternate reality...?

I'm just telling myself that because she's a blonde that appears to be standing with the X-Men, it's the second appearance of Dazz in her "new outfit" lol:

oh wow...that looks AMAZING! I'd still like her costume to have a 'X' on it somewhere too, though.

My Bowen Dazzler statue came in today. #17 out of #700. She's gorgeous!! The sculpt & paints are awesome. Particularly the silver on the costume & her face paint. Her hair is also blonde with some subtle red shading :-) And the chromed disco ball base is pure love.

Take a pic of it!

I don't have a good lighting source (or the best camera), so this pic doesn't show the AMAZING paints off, but here she is:



and here's a little project I'm working on:


AoA, Serve & Protect, Arcade, UXM/Schism, Aussie, AoX, AoA 10th, Disco, Blue, Mojoverse, NEX, Hulk Team-Up

So much talent! Can't wait to see how those turn out.

[Firebaton]

Mine gets in next week. Super excited!!

Um I can't wait to see the finished project. I am sure they will be beautiful!

[Flinkman]

WTFFFFF!!!! I've had mine on pre-order forever and a day! they say they haven't gotten their stock yet...grrrrrrrrrrrr! I NEED IT!

This looks really good. Wonder how it looks with the crotch being silver like the rest. Al she needs are red or yellow Xs on the shoulders.

I suprise we haven't seen any preview art for the new X-Treme X-Men. It would have been nice to see a new costume for Allie.
