The Press Release:
Let the music play! With the fall of Krakoa, the X-Men’s dream of coexistence has never felt more impossible. Luckily, mutantkind’s very own pop princess has a song that will unite the masses—and paint a big target on her back—in an all-new DAZZLER comic book limited series! From rising Marvel star Jason Loo (Sentry, Infinity Paws) and extraordinary Marvel newcomer artist Rafael Loureiro, DAZZLER will launch this September as part of the X-Men’s new From the Ashes era!

No stranger to headlining, Alison Blaire enjoyed a successful solo career outside the X-Men in the 1980s with the fondly remembered and long-running Dazzler series. Now, she’s back to inspire a whole new generation, spreading a message of love and acceptance one sold-out show at a time. Her tour is for everyone, but backstage, Alison is joined by a crew of fellow mutants—head of security Domino, personal guard Strong Guy, one-man roadie Multiple Man, drummer Shark-Girl, and expert publicist Wind Dancer! Anti-mutant fervor has never felt more personal, but anyone who tries to dim Dazzler’s light will just have to face the music!

Marvel Comics First Issues Coming February 2019

February sure has started out in full force and it feels like all of the Scandinavian bands that we cover on the website have send some of their homelands weather our way. It’s super cold today for sure with below zero temperatures and nasty winds. I got a taste of this last night as I walked from the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC to the subway home after the Bring Me The Horizon concert. The venue was an inferno, but the outside felt like Antarctica. When I checked my mobile it showed that the temperature outside was five below zero. Yikes. Since today is colder, it’s a good day to sit down and peruse some of the brand new titles that are coming out this month from Marvel Comics. Sure some have already hit the racks since yesterday was New Comic Book Day but the rest are forthcoming. As always the copy and images come from official Marvel resources and the closing editorial notes are all mine. Here we go.

Out Now: Hasbro’s “Marvel Legends Series” X-Men “Warlock” Build-A-Figure

These figures have been out for a couple of months depending on where you might be shopping but my local store only just got their entire set the other day and that let’s me share all of the images with you of this new “Marvel Legends Series” which is 100% X-Men themed. As readers know, the X-Men films are NOT tied into the Marvel Cinematic Universe so these would not be movie related figures and are instead more in line with the current comic book versions which I don’t mind at all. There are “7” figures making up this set and they are Colossus, Shatterstar, Dazzler, Polaris, Cyclops, Sunfire and Old Man Logan. Each of these figures (except the Old Man Logan one) include a piece of the Warlock alien that was a part of the “New Mutants” for a number of years. I snagged these images with my mobile device this time around and have the front and back of the packaging. They were taken at Galaxy Comics in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and you can check out their Yelp right HERE.
