Marvel Must-Have: X-Men - La Saga di Fenice Nera

by Chris Claremont, John Byrne

Quando Fenice Nera sorge, i soli si spengono e i mondi muoiono! Guidati da Charles Xavier, gli X-Men hanno dedicato la loro esistenza a proteggere un’umanità che spesso li teme e li disprezza, ma cosa succederà quando il nemico è uno di loro? Jean Grey ha ottenuto un potere immenso, ora però rischia di esserne irrimediabilmente corrotta, e i suoi compagni dovranno la sua vita o quella dell’universo. La più celebre e amata saga degli X-Men, uno dei vertici assoluti dei comics di super eroi, scritta e disegnata da due maestri come Chris Claremont e John Byrne. Una storia epica in cui trionfo e tragedia sono le due facce della stessa medaglia. [CONTIENE THE UNNCANNY X-MEN (1963) 129-137]

Reviews

[Dieghino · Rating 2 out of 5]

Purtroppo questa saga risente del passare del tempo. Idealmente e storicamente ha una grandissima importanza, ma leggerla oggi ex novo non puó che lasciare un po' delusi.
