Remember when Dazzler made the X-Men and then a giant xenophobic robot smashed into her and all her new teammates at the Hellfire Gala?
More importantly than that, remember how much fun X-Terminators was? Seriously, come back to Marvel, Leah Williams. The X-line needs your feral energy now more than ever.
Anyway, on Earth-65, the home of Spider-Gwen, Dazzler is still alive and on tour, rocking the late 1970s disco queen look she debuted in. And Gwen’s band, the Mary Janes, are opening for her. Pretty sweet gig, right? Except apparently the tour has a Hulk problem? And possibly also a Pixie problem? Hard to tell from just a few pages.
(While we’re on the subject, what’s your favorite Pixies song? Mine’s “Hey.”)
Woof, this one’s jumping all over the place. Check out our exclusive preview of Spider-Gwen: Smash #2, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.
