The New Mutants meet Lila Cheney, the galaxy's biggest rock star.

Lila whisks Sam away into space and the New Mutants get dragged along as well, right into a plot with some traitorous band members.

Of course, the New Mutant aren’t going to get away that easily.

Lila transports the kids back to her home on Earth.

I've always found this as somewhat unbelievable. I mean, Dazzler as a back-up singer?

Believe it or not, but this has precedence. After her solo series ended, and before she was permanently folded into the X-Men, Dazzler did a stint incognito as part of Lila's band... briefly possessed by Malice during the Mutant Massacre era.

So yeah, even though Ali's always wanted to be a star and a headliner, there've been times when she was desperate enough to fade into the background while still performing.

Well, that just feels like it would make Eternity twist and turn in his sleep.
