Episode 19: Phoenix (Jean Grey)
Not a Hoax! Not a Dream!
12/08/22 • 70 min
5.0
Guest featuring the SJW Comic Book Club! Not a hoax, not a dream...in this episode, a character dies! And...gets better. The Dark Phoenix is lauded as one of the best X-Men arcs, that ends with the death of Jean Grey. But that isn't the end of the story. One could say a story doesn't end until it ends in our hearts, or even that it doesn't end until three people record a podcast about it and I set it to publish tomorrow. The comics: X-Men #100 (1976), X-Men #137 (1980), and Fantastic Four #286 (1986).
