- Summary
- "'I am fire! And life incarnate! Now and forever - I am Phoenix!" -- Jean Grey. Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum were mere months into their career-defining, industry-changing fun on Marvel's merry mutants when, in X-Men #97, they returned Jean Grey - Marvel Girl - to the title. Little did fans know that within four issues, the beloved character - one of Charlie Xavier's first class - would be set on a fateful path that would change her, the world of the X-Men and the entire comic-book industry. In X-Men #101, Jean is seemingly lost to the depths of New York's Jamaica Bay, only to emerge reborn, more powerful than ever, with a bold new Cockrum-designed costume - and a dramatic new codename to match. The Phoenix had arrived - and nothing would ever be the same! Over the next four years, a sprawling saga revealed the full extent of Jean's transformation as new artist John Byrne enthusiastically took up the baton from Cockrum. The epic narrative crafted by the three men was unlike anything seen in comics before - and introduced such enduring elements of the X-Men mythos as the Hellfire Club, the alien Shi'ar and the very concept of cosmic storytelling. Meanwhile, their tale of torment and tragedy put Jean, her lover Cyclops, their teammates and, yes, even readers through an emotional wringer, culminating in a truly shocking ending that was unthinkable at the time. "The Dark Phoenix Saga," as it came to be known, has been collected many times - but never like this. Every crucial chapter is included, as well as supplementary stories from Classic X-Men and Bizarre Adventures that expand on Jean's time as Phoenix. The one-shot Phoenix: The Untold Story reveals the original intended climax to the saga, while a classic What If? tale explores its own alternative version of the thrilling denouement. Together, this Omnibus is the ultimate celebration of one of the medium's most important and influential stories." -- inside front cover
