‘Dazzler’ Kicks Off Her World Tour In September
by Tony Thornley
The first of Marvel’s new X-Men miniseries is on its way, and it’s starring a face that’s no stranger to being a headliner. That’s right, Dazzler is hitting the road, and she’s not coming alone.
From Jason Loo and Rafael Loureiro, Dazzler is hitting the road on a four-issue world tour. She’s out and publicly a mutant at a time that mutantkind is hated and feared once again. Thankfully, she’s not alone as she’s joined by head of security Domino, personal guard Strong Guy, one-man roadie Multiple Man, drummer Shark-Girl, and expert publicist Wind Dancer.
“Rafael and I are giving everyone backstage access to the greatest show of the decade: the Dazzler World Tour!” Loo said. “Sounds exciting? Not for Dazzler when she’s facing tons of pressure from all sorts of people trying to cancel her shows. But she’s not going down without a fight.”
“Ever since I can remember, I’ve been crazy about two things: music and drawing comics. To think that I would be able to combine both passions in my Marvel debut is beyond my wildest dreams. Not only that, but with such an amazing X-Men character as Dazzler—I absolutely had to jump at the chance!” Loureiro shared. “When I read Jason’s script, I kept thinking to myself ‘Oh, I’m gonna have so much fun with this!’ Now, Dazzler has a special place in my heart, and I can almost hear her singing inside my head with every page that I draw. I’m honored to be a part of this project, bringing her into the spotlight for all readers and lifting her to her rightful place as a super star!”
A fun added bonus, each issue of Dazzler will also feature all-new song lyrics from Ali’s notebook.
“Get ready to sing along to some new, original songs off of her new album!” Loo added. “Some of them may be about her exes.”
