DAZZLER Appreciation

[ohsnapulon5000]

I'm actually fine with the dual-tone hair at this point. it's actually kind of original compared to a lot of the other major Marvel heroines so it definitely gives her a unique distinction in the pantheon. Which to me is more important and considerate of the character than just having her look "pretty". i just wish that they could find a happy medium by at least letting her switch up her costumery within an iconic guideline of what her look happens to be at the moment. She's the Heroine that's visually expressive like that. She plays with her look. That's part of the Dazzler schtick.

It's fine if they want her to be all punky-whateverthefcuk Dazzler, i've come to terms with it. But it's still Dazzler, she would have already shown up ion a variant of her punk look by now. Which is why I think it's nice when artists do reinterpret her design, take her current look and play with it. Anka's design now serve's as a kind of gauntlet to be thrown down as a challenge for other artist's in a way. It begs "TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT AT REDESIGNING THIS MESS" and canonically it would serve the character to look different all the time, costume wise. That's why they need at least the dual color hair tone, the eye makeup, the starburst emblem. iconic signifiers of the character despite whatever translation the current artist makes of what she's shown up to the fray wearing, that day.

From the What If? Infinity Inhumans. Decent read. She plays a pivotal and powerful role... Obviously, as it is an AU/What If? tale and not in the 616.

Why does she have an eyepatch?

Why does she have an eyepatch?

Her eye is fine. In that uni eyepatches are de rigueur.

It's never explained.

Anyone else wondering how they are going to address the terrigen poisoning in AForce?

Is Dazzler film rights with Marvel Studios I really think she's the top choice other than Cable Mystique or Magneto for a solo film

Incredible stuff.

Double post. Or what the heck. Continuing the Jem + Dazzler theme, have you folks seen this wonderful little piece by Bill Walko?

Yes, and while I'm unsure how they'll handle it eXactly, I do hope they'll address it properly & with respect. If it's flippant in manner, in any way, it would be an insult to Dazzler's character & her historical status as a mutant.

I don't believe so, but do think it's possible that the rights eXist in some sort of gray area (similar to that of Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch), probably thanX to her solo series mostly (if so). But Alison has operated outside of the X-realm & mingled with the MU proper, more than most her mutant colleagues have, I would say.

[Confuzzled]

Seeing how her rights may exist in the gray area and how she is currently operating away from the X-Men, she is pretty vulnerable to the "unmutation" that has been going around as of late among the fringe mutants.

I got my first commission this weekend from an incredible artist named Ben Harvey and OF COURSE it was Dazzler. I have to scan it to show you all! I originally stopped by his table because of this breathtaking Emma sketch in his book.

Count Sara Pichelli among the 2.5 or so artists who have been able to sell the Dark Dazzler look.

kinda sad my favorite era of dazzler's was greg land but psylocke/dazzler/northstar were fun

What if Dazzler was a punk rocker?

The art for this one is by David Jacob Duke

Edit: Haha Juan, beat me to it by just a second!

Frankly though, all these other interpretations of Punk Dazzler are head and shoulders above Anka's redesign.
