X’Men’s Dark Phoenix saga by Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum and John Byrne reads like a modern day mess these days. If I had to attempt to sum it up in one insultingly brief sentence, it’d go something like this: Cosmically-powered Jean Grey gets abducted and brainwashed into wearing bondage fetish clothing for a weird club in an scheme to take down the X-Men which results in her mental limits being broken and her power unleashed as she consumes a star and attracts the attention of the interstellar Shi’Ar and no no no I just can’t do it.

The list of crimes against geekdom perpetrated by 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand is well documented and lengthy, but its most heinous offence is arguably its butchering of one of the greatest comic book stories ever told. Released in 1980, writer Chris Claremont and artists Dave Cockrum and John Byrne’s “The Dark Phoenix Saga” is an epic space-heavy tale with …
As we get closer to the release of the next X-Men movie, X-Men: Apocalypse, we are also starting to get introduced to many of the new characters they are looking to introduce into the franchise like Olivia Munn as Psylocke.
