One of the most popular X-Men epics of all time, revealing the birth
of perhaps the deadliest force in the galaxy--Dark Phoenix.
Piloting a shuttle through a deadly solar flare, Jean Grey saves the
X-Men, but is possessed by one of the universe's most powerful
forces--the Phoenix. As she adapts to her new powers, the mutant team
launches an assault against the clandestine organization known as the
Hellfire Club. Once inside, however, Jean is tricked by the villain
Mastermind into betraying her teammates. She becomes first the Hellfire
Club's Black Queen and then Dark Phoenix, as the power to destroy worlds
bursts forth uncontrolled. Shooting into deep space, Jean destroys an
entire star system, then encounters a cruiser piloted by the spacefaring
race the Shi'ar. When the cruiser is obliterated, the Shi'ar queen
decrees that the Phoenix must die. But only the X-Men can hope to stop
Dark Phoenix, and save Jean Grey.
