X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga
by Chris Claremont, John Byrne
The legendary X-Men story that changed everything. Jean Grey's transformation into the Dark Phoenix is one of comics' greatest tragedies.
Geek’s cut
Comic-book storytelling with the density of a good tech spec: every panel doing double duty, every line of dialogue carrying lore, emotion, or both.
Deeper dive
Claremont and Byrne's epic tale of power, corruption, and sacrifice. The Dark Phoenix Saga remains one of the most influential stories in comic book history.
