Let's try this again as my comment did not post booo. The story and art were fun. Loo did his homework here. Strawberry blonde hair! We see Dazzler's talents on display: intelligence, hand to hand combat, acrobatics, singing while she fights without really breaking a sweat. Given the dark undertones, the issue was surprisingly fun and light. I was hoping for more of a dramatic setup for issue #2 instead of the headline. Cast was utilized fairly well, although Strong Guy and Multiple Man didn't have much to do yet. Shark Girl and the image inducer 😭. The song lyrics were fun and the lyrics page unique. It was lovely to get the full page POV from Jason Loo as well. This serves a jumping in point for new readers and long time fans for sure. Looking forward to the developing story. That 2nd stage costume was amazing! The asymmetrical design, shine and chest star!

Issue 2 is fantastic! The story moves forward and a lot happened here. I loved Ali responding to the talk show host; she was perfectly measured after her hysterical expression. I loved her NO when he asked if a song would be for a show host. Ha! The art improved over issue 1! The expressions and action looked incredible. The nod to Dazzler's sound tracking/strong hearing was perfect. The twist about the telepath mutant being threatoned was heartbreaking (and on theme), and Lila coming to save the day yes! Domino and Strong Guy got to shine as well. There may be a misprint using the Angel song again at the end instead of the issue 2 Beast song? Ali has a doctor boyfriend!

This is the book we need! Fun, bonkers crazy, wild, hysterical. Williams and Gomez have given us a dynamic treat. Get ready to laugh, scream, and enjoy the ride.
