Dazzler #12-16: Gratuitous Homoerotic Women's Prison Fight Scene

Dazzler #12: Dazzler vs Techsmith Part 2. Techsmith kidnaps Harry Osgood again. This time when she beats him, he is hanging over a deadly piece of machinery so Osgood pulls him up, Techsmith decides they are even now.

Dazzler #13: Dazzler finds a memento of her mother, then gets broken up with by the doctor guy, then also just gets arrested for the murder of Klaw cause the Pegasus researchers are petty assholes. She gets acquitted and the public defender turns into her new love interest. Also in the middle of the story she is sent to the superpowered women's wing of Ryker's overnight and there is a random prison fight scene that is... interesting.

I like how all the super-villains get to keep their costumes, and they just give Dazzler the most questionably designed prison uniform ever.


Dazzler #14: Dazzler gets hired to be a opening act for a famous guy on a west coast tour. Then the mob gets involved by attempting to assassinate someone at her shows... which Blue Shield happened to be at. Also, the mob has a hypnotized She-Hulk. Anyway, Dazzler and Blue Shield team up, and then she frees She-Hulk from the mind control. The end.

Dazzler #15: Dazzler sees a van with the symbol from the memento of her mother. She hires Jessica Drew to investigate since they are in San Francisco at the moment. She gets frustrated at how slow Jessica is going, so investigates themselves. They end up discovering an abandoned SHIELD training facility. This is never brought up again. I have no idea why the memento had this symbol on it.

Dazzler #16: Dazzler gets kidnapped by Enchantress who is still pissed at her for beating her way back when. There is a whole bunch of shenanigans but none of them matter cause Odin shows up all like "what's all this then?" and then suggests that he will judge a rematch of their singing talent to determine the winner. Dazzler wins again. I'm sure Enchantress loved that.

X-Tra Notes: The speed at which this comic picks up and abandons subplots is truly staggering.
