Beauty and the Beast #3

In "Showtime," Dazzler and Beast navigate a tense new chapter as their growing bond is tested by her participation in the arena fights. When Beast uncovers a dangerous secret about the lab behind the spectacle, he’s forced to confront the consequences—both physical and emotional—when he’s injected with a power-altering potion. The issue’s striking cover by Bill Sienkiewicz captures the raw intensity of the moment, while Ann Nocenti’s writing and Don Perlin’s art bring a grounded, emotional weight to the escalating stakes.
