I've always loved comics involving Dazzler, so I was intrigued when I heard she was getting her own run in From the Ashes. I have to say, I really think the creative team knocked it out of the park with Dazzler #1. It was fun, it was heartwarming, it was everything I wanted it to be. Hats off to the creative team!

Dazzler #1 will offend many people for many reasons. But as a wise woman once said, "the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. This book is fun, plain and simple, with a loveable cast and vibrant, action-packed art. Read Full Review
Dazzler #1 is a must read for any superhero fan or even if you just like pop girlies. Read Full Review
Dazzler #1 is a proud statement. This subject is perhaps as timely as ever, with the immense pressure being put on anyone with a microphone from either side. Read Full Review
Dazzler #1 provides a nice bit of variety to the "From the Ashes" era by treating Alison Blaire as the superstar she's become. Read Full Review
This first issue is almost everything I wanted when this comic was announced. It's fun, solidly introduces all the characters and concepts at play, and doesn't shy away from the nuts and bolts of being set during a music tour. Read Full Review
With a weak cover by the Dodsons, to a story that lacks the subtlety needed to compare the plight of mutants to the real world problems that faces maligned minorities, the issue has potential, but Loo and Loureiros start to the mini leaves a lot to be desired. More fizzle than bang - hopefully the next issues kicks up the tempo. Read Full Review
Dazzler is definitely not a character suited to aesthetic doom and gloom, and everybody involved here seems to be on the same page about who Dazzler is and what she represents. Read Full Review
The issue isn't breaking any new ground, but it's a lot of fun. Read Full Review
Dazzler #1 is an embarrassment of riches for people who like the idea of Marvel superhero comics but don't actually read Marvel comics. Jason Loo's script is a mind-boggling array of social activist talking points, non-sensical character representation, and painfully tone-deaf plot developments. But at the very least, the art is pretty good. If you read Marvel superhero comics because you like Marvel superhero stories, avoid this issue at all costs. Read Full Review
Dazzler #1 is a delightful, energetic debut that captures the spirit of Marvel's disco-singing, mutant superstar. This miniseries opener is a fun, low-stakes romp that balances action, humor, and heart, making it a fun read if you don’t take it too seriously.
Jason Loo's writing is spot-on, with charming, tongue-in-cheek wit that shines through. His script is full of clever one-liners and humorous banter between Dazzler and her mutant roadies that will leave you smiling. The story itself is relatively lighthearted, but I couldn't help but feel that Dazzler deserves more. One of the most intriguing aspects of Dazzler's character is her status as a global mutant pop star and Loo touches on this idea with nods to Taylor Swift thro more
As a one-shot this could be affably forgettable; I'm not sure I see a mini-series here or could even tell you what this miniseries is about beyond the basic concept of "Dazzler is Taylor Swift with supervillains and heavyhanded homophobia metaphors"
this shit is complete stupid
I used to really enjoy Dazzler back in the 80s - so I thought I would pick up this book #mistake - the art was decent, but the story felt like it was some poor fan-fiction written by a middle schooler. It was a huge let down. The dialog was painfully obvious and uninspired - the writer kept beating the reader over the head trying to make a point - I had to force myself to finish it. There was nothing interesting about this book & no plot thread that would make me come back for a second helping.
