SPOILER ALERT: To avoid some spoilers for Spider-Man 2 on PlayStation 5, jump to the 3:00 mark!
Dazzler is taking up modeling, and someone is taking up the models! Sure enough, just as Alison considers taking up a new career, some shadowy figure is abducting runway models straight from the runway. Needless to say, our hero faces the most questionable motivations yet. 
Plus: The boys babble about Spider-Man 2. Impractical photography. And Millie the Model? What is this issue?

In this Thriller of an issue, our P.Y.T. Alison scores a break being cast as a dancer in a Teddy Lingard music video! Perhaps it’s Human Nature, but at some point Alison can’t help but suspect there is something Bad going on at the shoot. Will our Unbreakable hero apprehend a Smooth Criminal, or is our Heartbreaker simply letting Butterflies get the best of her?
Plus: A bathrobe and legwarmers drive RJ Off the Wall. Roman’s recharacterization is enough to make Matt Scream. And Teddy is really just Michael Jackson.

What could possibly require the aid of Dazzler on the dark side of the moon? Issue 32 is a lunar mystery with a conclusion that will leave you… possibly whelmed. 
Plus: Copious amounts of leg warmers. Nosy neighbors. And hiking on the moon.
