X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga
by Chris Claremont
Perhaps my favorite X-Men story. It takes place when Colossus, Wolverine, Storm, and Nightcrawler are still fairly new. It features the first appearance of both Kitty Pride and Dazzler. The Hellfire Club is fun to watch in action. Also, having read later issues, it's fun to see a few of the Hellfire flunkies get carved up by Wolverine knowing that they'll one day come back to haunt him as part of The Reavers (or was it the Marauders? I can't remember but I know the scene is mentioned years later).
That last part of the story, when they're on the Sha'iar Empire starship always seems a little out of place for me, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. Though those scenes allow for the still fairly new X-Men to reveal more of their personalities via pensive moments.
One last thing, there is so much recapping of previous issues, something that I don't think happens as much anymore. I guess the industry isn't as concerned with making it easy for new readers to pick up any issue and not be lost as it used to be.
