Marvel Reveals Concert of Champions, Bringing Together Dazzler and K-Pop

[[{“value”:”

Some of Marvel
’s biggest musical sensations are coming together to put on a concert of a life time. In this new annual one-shot, the Dazzler is joined alongside Marvel Rivals star Luna Snow, Spider-Gwen, and mutant rock-star Lila Cheney. However, lurking in the shadows of the first ever Concert of Champions, a nefarious metal band threatens to undo the festival’s leading acts.

Marvel Comics has just announced a new annual one-shot from writer Jason Loo called Concert of Champtions. Coming straight from his Dazzler series, Concert of Champions promises to bring the same fast-paced fun as the mutant’s solo adventure. Dazzler has recently been struggling to contain her rampantly chaotic world tour. If this once-in-a-lifetime concert is like her other shows, it’s certain to cause more trouble than the mutant pop-star can handle alone.

As Marvel’s biggest musical sensations band together to put on the company’s first ever in-comic concert, a mysterious band called “Deep Void” threatens to ruin everything.

This Is the X-Men’s First Annual Event Since the Hellfire Gala

Expect Less Plot, But More Energetic Fun

“I’m honored to work on Marvel’s first annual music festival, and with a STACKED line-up. Luna Snow was already on my playlist while I was writing the last Dazzler series, so getting to have her share the stage with Dazzler and Lila Cheney is a total dream. Also, get ready for DEEP VOID, 616’s new black metal band, made-up of some familiar faces. That one song they have RIPS!” – Jason Loo

The Concert of Champions has the opportunity to be something bigger than an entertaining one-shot. Since the fall of Krakoa, tensions have been high among Marvel’s many X-Men comics. This storyis a chance to return some levity within the franchise. Plus, it serves to fill a void that was left after the final Hellfire Gala.
The annual X-Men event
that saw Marvel’s most popular characters party away in luxurious new threads, was a creative display of artistic talent that gave readers and mutants alike an experience to look forward to.

With the Concert of Champions, the X-Men, and their mutate allies like
Spider-Gwen and Luna Snow
, have a new opportunity to show the world they don’t have to fear mutants. However, the mysterious new metal band Deep Void could ruin everything. In Marvel’s interview with Jason Loo, the writer notes that the band is filled with familiar faces from Earth-616. There are some likely villains who could be members of this sinister band, like piano-playing Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Doom. However, the author didn’t leave many clues behind to make any solid guesses.

Marvel’s Heroes Deserve a Jovial Adventure

Luna Snow Is Taking Advantage of the Action

Marvel Comics have been plagued with a string of back-to-back apocalyptic events. First, the Blood Hunt ravaged the Earth in an endless night and now Doctor Doom is soon to control the world. Meanwhile, Krakoa has been destroyed, disbursing the X-Men across the globe. However, characters like Dazzler and Marvel’s breakout icy hero Luna Snow promise to make this an energetic experience of non-stop action.

Unlike the Hellfire Gala, don’t expect much plot from Concert of Champions. Where
the Hellfire Gala
annual events usually played into the Krakoa Saga’s overarching plot, this new annual one-shot is most likely a fun single-issue adventure. Frankly, it’s going to be refreshing to read a jovial X-Men-led story. Concert of Champions is shaping up to be a thrilling celebration of music, mutantkind, and the unique charm that only the Dazzler can bring when this brand-new one-shot Marvel experience debuts later this year.
