The Dark Phoenix Saga: The Uncanny X-Men #[nn]

In the wake of their return from abroad, the X-Men reunite at the mansion only to find Professor X restored and ready to lead once more. With a new mutant on the radar and the Hellfire Club making a push to recruit the young Kitty Pryde, tensions rise as the team must decide who they’re fighting for—and who they’re trying to save.

When Kitty Pryde aids the escape of four X-Men from Emma Frost’s clutches, Scott and Jean Grey race against the Hellfire Club to recruit Dazzler—mutant pop star and the first of her kind to shine in the disco era—while Jean’s ongoing mind games with Mastermind blur the line between reality and illusion.

When Kitty Pryde leads Scott, Jean, and Kurt to the White Queen’s stronghold, the X-Men face a desperate stand against the Hellfire Club. Phoenix’s power surges as she confronts Emma Frost in a battle that tests the limits of her control. As the team’s fate hangs in the balance, Xavier extends an invitation to two new mutants—Dazzler declines, but Kitty Pryde steps forward to join the X-Men.

In "And Hellfire Is Their Name!", the X-Men turn to Angel for guidance as they confront the growing threat of the Hellfire Club, a shadowy organization with ties to their past. As they infiltrate the Club’s ranks, Jean Grey falls under Mastermind’s psychic spell, awakening a dark power within her that transforms her into the Black Queen—leaving Wolverine as the sole X-Man standing to fight back.

In "Wolverine: Alone!", the X-Men are scattered and overwhelmed as Cyclops leads a desperate stand against the Inner Circle and their new Black Queen, Jean Grey. With his teammates captured and the battle turning against them, Wolverine must push through relentless enemies to reach them—his claws, his will, and his fury his only weapons.

In the heart of the Hellfire Club’s mansion, Jean Grey fights to reclaim her mind from Mastermind’s psychic grip, only to unleash a terrifying transformation as the X-Men clash with the Club’s elite forces. With Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, and the others at her side, the team battles through the mansion’s halls—until Jean’s struggle spirals beyond control, and the Dark Phoenix emerges.

Jean Grey, now the Dark Phoenix, turns on her former teammates with terrifying force, leaving the X-Men reeling as she unleashes her power beyond Earth. With the fate of a star system in her hands, she vanishes into space, forcing the team to confront the unthinkable—how do you stop someone who was once one of your own?

In "Child of Light and Darkness!", the X-Men face their most devastating trial yet as Dark Phoenix—Jean Grey, once their beloved teammate—returns to reclaim her power. With the team torn between loyalty and duty, Professor X leads a desperate charge to save her, only to be met with a storm of cosmic fury. As victory seems within reach, the moment shatters—just as Jean is restored, the entire team vanishes without a trace.

In "The Fate of the Phoenix!", the X-Men stand at the edge of annihilation as Lilandra demands Jean Grey’s death for the destruction of a star system. With Professor X pleading for justice and the Imperial Guard ready to strike, the fate of the Phoenix Force is decided in a battle on the Blue Area of the Moon—where Jean Grey must choose between life and the ultimate sacrifice to stop the Dark Phoenix from rising again.
