| | How do you feel about the Dark Phoenix Saga as a comic book story? - The Superhero Hype! Boards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | I'm sure that The Dark Phoenix Saga was considered groundbreaking as a comic book story, and as a transitional story in Jean Grey's character arc, I recognize that it is huge, but in my mind, it's really not that impressive a story, as a piece of writing. |
 | | I gather that most everyone likes the concept of Jean becoming Phoenix, and has grown to accept the existence of Dark Phoenix and her fate as such as part of the X-Men mythos, but I refer to the actual storyline that began this concept, not the concept itself. |
 | | The magic of the comic saga was that Jean Grey was slowly and ever so subtley manipulated for a year until she gave in to her dark hunger. |
