X-Men: Dark Phoenix Saga Complete Collection by Chris Claremont, Jo Duffy

5.0

Great to reread what I think was the first book to make me cry over 30 years ago. It feels like I have almost every panel memorized and its as good as I remember. Deeply moving, it was shocking when it came out (before every character in the Marvel universe had been killed 5 times). What I didn't remember was how much it tackled the light and dark split and how good it felt for Jean to be in the thrall of your darkness. Fascinating, sweet, archetypal and rock solid art throughout.
