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.
