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 mentalBefore I started reading The Dark Phoenix Saga, I expected that I would probably like it for all the usual reasons-- it came highly recommended, it's a classic, it should be required reading for all comics fans, blah blah etc. I was fully expecting to knock it out in a couple hours, give it a solid 3 star rating on here, and then promptly forget about it. Instead, I fell in love with the story, and with Jean Grey, and with the X-Men, and with pretty much everything else about it. Go figure. I'm
Dark Phoenix is one of the most popular X story arcs, and rightly so, unfortunely, the dialogue and the pacing is super dated, I've never been much of a fan of the comics from the 60s and the 70s because of that very same reason, I find myself skipping a lot of the dialogue, the exposition gets extremely boring, the art on the other hand remains stellar.
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
3.5 StarsI'm just going to pretend the last chapter of this nine issue arc didn't happen. The Dark Phoenix Saga is the first major event of X-men in 80's. This is where Jean Grey go complete haywire and does a whole black swan routine. SOMEONE BUY HER SOME PIZZA! This arc is also known for: Dazzler's dazzling debut that dazzled all the dashing devotes. *I'm really sorry for that* She is really cool though! Kitty Pryde debuts here too! X-men's long term adversaries, the Hellfire club makes their
I remember reading this in my Ann Arbor comic book store over a decade ago and being so impressed with how well it held up (and I think I was reading it without color!). While it does bear some of the ostensibly negative trademarks of classic comics like frequent recaps of events in the last issue and characters saying/thinking exactly what they're doing/feeling, this actually makes it far more accessible; you can pick this book up with zero knowledge of the X-Men and appreciate its
