X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga by Chris Claremont

5.0

---

5 stars. I first read this back in junior high and I’ve been meaning to re-read it and get back into X-Men comics for a while now. Luckily, it’s available on KU so I picked it up and damn does this still hold up to this day. The Dark Phoenix saga is seriously my favorite X-Men arc because everything about it so well executed. The artwork is great, the plot is so good and the character study of Jean is complex and heartbreaking. The ending got me all in my feelings just like it did the first time all those years ago. I hope one day we will see this story done right in X-Men films because it’s one of the more popular arcs for a reason.
