Kind of expected more, but then I remembered I had watched this storyline in the 90s X-Men show, and the build up to what is actually fun and interesting about this whole story is so, so slow that when you get there, it's a genuine sigh of relief. It was cool seeing certain characters introduced like Kitty Pryde, but honestly, if you plan to read this for Dark Phoenix primarily? Maybe skip about... 97 pages in. Really picks up by that point.
