Uncanny X-Men : Dark Phoenix

Within these pages can be found one of the most dramatic chapters in the history of the X-Men. Expertly crafted by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, the epic tale of the Dark Phoenix begins on a windswept Scottish island, and ends in tragedy on the dark side of the moon. It is the story of Jean Grey, and how she is transformed from a loving human to a near omnipotent being of fury and destruction. Yet it is also a story of the light and darkness that lies within all of us, and what can happen when our base desires are unleashed.

This is the best pocketbook so far. I'm so glad that i can read one of the best ever comic stories ever. The Dark Phoenix story starts as a subplot to the Proteus story, but then it comes to the forefront, when we see the welcome returns of Angel and Beast.

I'd give this a 10/10 since it is one of the best stories ever to come from Chris Claremont
