Dark Phoenix
When it comes to stories about Marvel Comics’ Phoenix Force, the first one that usually comes to mind is the classic 1980s Dark Phoenix saga (Uncanny X-Men (vol.1) #129-#137) by (arguably) the finest X-Men creative team of Chris Claremont, John Byrne and Terry Austin. Epic, cataclysmic or brilliance personified – however you choose to describe it, Phoenix’s raison d’être will forever be summed up by this storyline, which also makes it a reference point for any X-Men movie.
Next month’s Dark Phoenix movie will mark the second attempt to adapt that classic storyline, the first one was with 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand.
