Still one of the best interpretations of the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix Saga.

2.5 stars. Was not expecting a Tones On Tail poster though!

[TheMadReader · Rating 2 out of 5]

I’m giving this 2 stars, because the art is synonymous with the cartoon which I grew up watching as a kid. Besides the nostalgic art, the stories and writing is absolutely dreadful and forgetful.

Looks good on the shelf though.

A fun trip through classic X-Men stories like Days of Future Past, the Dark Phoenix Saga, and the Horsemen of Apocalypse but in a bombastic over-the-top streamlined way, this has all the joy of the cartoon.

Classic comic from the tv show. I remember following these as the TV series was on. Good collected set to have if you loved the cartoon in the 90s.
