    I get that this is primarily Dazzler's book, but Laura is an expert tracker. She shouldn't need to ask Ali what her plan is to find Alex.

    Meanwhile anytime i took a brief look at the previews i got the desire to read/watch what i consider to be actual fun and well written "dumb fun" action comics/animations. Which technicaly one can still call a positiv, but doesn't make me willing to buy or read this.

    I believe they were on a spaceship when they were imprisoned so perhaps Laura means like he can be anywhere in the universe? Seems like Ali wants to destroy his bar to cause him to come running back.

    I find it incredibly funny that the Dracula plotpoint was snatched from Percy to this book.

    Yeah, that is genuinely hilarious.

    Yeah. But at least we got five issues of enjoyable nonsense out of it.

    Now I'm curious who Jubilee and Laura are talking to.

    And you KNOW Boom Boom's hair dryer is going to come into play...

    Oh I would definitely give it a shot if you’re looking for dumb fun. The book certainly isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but it makes me chuckle and never tries to be something that it’s not.

    The redhead with Dazzler at the end of this preview in Carlos Gomez's style gives me flashbacks to Amazing Mary Jane . . . which I am still sorely wishing this team would revisit and (finally) resolve, preferably if it also dovetailed into a team-up with the X-Terminators.
    The spider is always on the hunt.

    This is such a fun book. I'll be sad to see it go. We honestly need more like it.

    It's certainly not mine, everything i've seen from the previews and read of the story within it sound like the writer is trying way too hard at the described but missing the mark. Like a "by the numbers" attempt at "quirkiness" while lacking the "soul" to make it feel honest. Essentialy never being fun enough to switch off the brain and only getting worse when it's on.

    Which to be fair is a common issue with comedy and personal preferences, even within the realm of "dumb fun".
    Like (random examples) some may love Kill La Kill or Gintama for over the top humor and surrealism and yet be completely at loss over the appeal of Cromartie High School.

    But since this is the last issue, i felt it's the right point to just express not really seeing the dumb fun in this series, so to have that opinion on the table too.
