X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga is the perfect read for both new Marvel fans – and old. Written by Stuart Moore, this is an experience not to miss out on. Though I should mention that I took advantage of the audiobook version (narrated by Nancy Wu) to enjoy this tale.
Jean Gray takes center stage for this tale (though any longstanding Marvel fan probably already knew that!). She saved the X-Men, but doing so came at a cost. When she came to, she found herself possessed by one of the most powerful forces in the Marvel Universe – the Phoenix. Naturally, that is around the time when everything gets utterly insane for Jean Gray. Her world has been turned upside down, all while she's struggling to adapt to and control these powers.
This is one of those iconic Marvel moments that every fan needs to experience at least once in their life. It's dramatic, intense, and fun all at the same time. Nancy Wu's narration brought even more to the table, as she really did capture Jean Gray's voice. Pure perfection.
