Every Hero Has a Dark Side
In Dark Phoenix, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one
of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed
when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force
not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling
with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither
comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones
she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men
together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to
unite — not only to save Jean’s soul, but to save our very planet from
aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.

intentions can lead to deadly consequences” – The
Sun Daily
- “Some of its themes might be obvious. Some of its direction might be
