Publisher’s description
It's mutant mayhem in full throttle as two X-Men star in an unlikely team-up! While on vacation from the Defenders, Beast runs into Dazzler on the Hollywood circuit. Recently outed as a mutant, and with her singing career up in smoke, Hank McCoy promises to have Dazzler's back. But Dazzler has just signed a new contract…one that promises to get her center stage at an ‘experimental underground theater'!
