Hands down one of the best Marvel comic stories I've ever read. The way Claremont brings out each character and piece them together as a team is commendable.UNPOPULAR OPINION TIME: Fuck all y'all haters, I actually like Dazzler. I somehow forgot this was her debut. People are always like, "Haha Dazzler has the power of disco! How lame! Pfffft!" Oh yeah, what's your mutation, bro? Fucking nothing? That's what I thought. First off, THAT SHIT WOULD BE AWESOME. Damn, do you know how much joy you could bring people with that power? You are literally a walking ball of happiness and fun."Oh shit, you had a bad day? LET ME PUT ON A FANTASTIC LIGHT SHOW JUST
The version I read of this had Kitty Pryde's and Dazzler's introductions and those were awesome! Unfortunately, it kind of went downhill from there. Kitty was super adorable when she first meets Storm. Ororo becomes her hero and she's incredibly brave for a 13 1/2 old girl risking her life to save them. Dazzler is pretty badass in deciding to help them even if she decides being an X-man just isn't for her. Emma Frost made a formidable foe here and it was a solid arc. I'm not entirely sure why
For one of the most popular X-Men story lines, I really didnt know a whole lot of what would happen in the story. Because I knew so little and I was so excited to dive right in, I think I enjoyed the story more than most. I loved the build up, the subtle (and not so subtle) hints at Jeans growing power (which actually started before the beginning of this collection). I liked the introduction of the Hellfire Club and the conclusion of this long running scheme from one of it's members. However, I
The "date read" above is actually my sixth reading of this book. The Dark Phoenix Saga is certainly the most gripping story arc within a major comic continuity. This is pure pulp comic book superhero stuff, but it's never been done better. Particularly astounding are two of the major action set-pieces in the story: Wolverine's rescue of his teammates, and the final confrontation with the Shi'ar Imperial Guard on the Blue Area of the moon. There's little character development, and a simple,
The penultimate X-Men story. The artwork was definitely a sign of the times in which it was written. It also makes me extremely happy that comic book writers have gotten away from using thought-balloons and text boxes explaining the story.
I liked this because it makes Cyclops a sympathetic character rather than the jerk that he is often portrayed as these days. Also, we have the debut of Kitty Pride and Dazzler, two of my favorite X-men. Finally, the showdown with the Hellfire Club was a lot of fun to read. The only thing that I didn't like so much was the illusions of Wyngarde. It doesn't seem that projecting an illusion into someone's mind would instantly make them lose a grip on reality. There should have been more of a mental
