arc for the X Men You know, Jean GreyKrrrrk slashes finger across throat Gripping is another word I ve seen describing it cricket...The purpose of the X men was completely subverted in this It was so cool Their actions are genuine and heroic, but their foes have also manipulated the world into thinking that they are the good guys too They ve hidden themselves rather cleverly in their crime, so when the X men attempt to bring down such a syndicate, it makes them look like the bad guys for a change It only took the most minor of manipulations to turn fear and respect into hatred and animosity And when that s paired with T The purpose of the X men was completely subverted in this It was so cool Their actions are genuine ...Mixed feelings for this one Good reading for diehard Marvel and X Men fans, but lukewarm for everyone else While I like Bronze Age DC, I don t think I care for Bronze Age X Men or Claremont s writing The closest thing I can compare this to is Frank Miller s The Dark Knight Returns, which is vital and important to the Batman universe, weird and 80s and hated by some Unlike TDKR, however, which I own and love, this was a chore to read Also the polar opposite of grim dark.Let me start with the Mixed feelings for this one Good reading for diehard Marvel and X Men fans, but lukewarm for everyone else While I like Bronze Age DC, I don t think I care for Bronze

mythology instantly, and I also wondered if it had some kind of impact on the role of the female superheroine in comics back then and today That s because I consider Jean Grey in this story to be a very empowered representation of what a comic book heroine can become and be undone for at the same time I would like to try and touch upon that subject matter in this review.This is quite possibly the mos Midway through reading this classic Claremont tale, I understood its significance to the X Men mythology instantly, and I also wondered if it had some kind of impact on the role of the female

time I would like to try and touch upon that subject matter in this review.This is quite possibly the most popular and enduring comics story arc in recent memory that any self respecting fan of the medium will immediately associate the X Men with, and The Dark Phoenix Saga is deemed with such high esteem and praise for many good reasons One thing that I think we all should remember about reading classic storylines from comics that defined and shaped the continuity or characterization of a particular title is to curb our expectations and adjust o...This is one of the greatest comic book story

the all time great Marvel writers His dialogue works, his plotting works, his mind scores multiple hits when it comes to what needs to be said and done He was the Hitchcock of the Marvel Universe And his partner was John Byrne I don t know what tastes are today I don t care What I do know is that John Byrne s art spoke to me like no other s Byrne was a Calgarian my home town and he gave birth both

way Claremont brings out each character and piece them together as a team is commendable.Flashback To be honest, I actually first heard of the famous The Dark Phoenix Saga through an episode of the
