X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga collects issues No. 129-137 of the original X-Men comic-book series, a series of tales that ends with the final battle over Jean Grey's existence as the Phoenix. Or at least that's how it was when the comics were published in the early 1980s. Later stories would undercut the impact of this classic tale, but it's still one of the best that Marvel Comics has ever produced.Writer Chris Claremont brought back a longtime X-Men villain, illusionist Mastermind, who enthralls Jean Grey and causes her to lose control of the Phoenix force, giving birth to Dark Phoenix. Dark Phoenix at one point crosses the galaxy and destroys a planet full of living beings, leading to a final battle for her life on the Moon in issue No. 137 (entitled ''Phoenix Must Die!'').
