One of the most disgusting things about the book was when she decides for no reason that she's in love with this lecherous creep and she uses the same dialogue that he used when he was trying to basically rape her to seduce him. When all this weirdness first started happening I thought it was some kind of weird mind-control thing like the way Thanos's brother Eros can make women fall instantly in love with him. But it wasn't and the next thing Ali is smoking and drinking and no longer taking any care of herself either physically or emotionally. She lets this old washed up creep buy her everything and she becomes completely dependent on him. This is a GROSS nasty book which reads like a disgusting sexual fantasy of a creep like Harvey Weinstein! In the time when this kind of disgusting behavior is getting national attention, Marvel should create a follow-up to this book In the same way that they retroactively tried to fix the rape of Carol Danvers. Call Chirs Clarmount! Gross James Shooter just gross!

Claremont and Byrne's X-Men, GI. Joe, Jim Satrlin's The Death of Captain Marvel. Dematies and Zeck's Kraven's Last Hunt, Walt Simonson's Thor, The Korvac Saga in The Avengers, Dreadstar, Byrne's run on Fantastic Four, and The Punisher mini series. On the Dazzler book its self yes it's a mediocre book with fair artwork. But I think some people are super sensitive nowadays and overreacted to common dreck. If it has elements that was popular in dreck forty years ago.
Well, "Dazzler: The Movie" lands smack dab in the middle of that struggle, as Alison lets her quest for fame blind her to the people using her for their own gain, including "outing" her as a mutant. This leads to a shift in her series and character arc, after which she would never quite be the fame-seeker she once was. (Though she never gave it up completely.)
For this graphic novel, the art team of Frank Springer and Vince Colletta return (though it may have, in fact, been produced during their run on the comic) and the scripting is handled by Editor-in-chief and acclaimed writer Jim Shooter, who had helped usher in Dazzler when she began as a planned cross-promotion with Casablanca Records.
It's not the strongest story of Dazzler's original run, but it does what it needs to do and Shooter handles it deftly. Colletta's inks provide the same compliment to Springer as they did on the original comic (something that's not always the case with Colletta) and, of course, Springer handles the glamour aspect of the series (80s fashions and all) very well.
"Dazzler: The Movie" is not the greatest Dazzler story, nor the best Marvel Graphic Novel. But it is a fine example of what her character was all about at the time and a valid entry point for readers unfamiliar with the character. For all those reasons, I give it full marks for succeeding at what it sets out to do.
