I have three words for you ...
DARK PHOENIX SAGA
Because 1980 was *the* year for the X-Men. The Hellfire Club. The White Queen. The Black Queen. DARK PHOENIX. The battle on the moon with the Shi'ar. The tears. The renewal, in the form of Kitty Pryde. Alpha Flight. The Wendigo. The introduction of Dazzler, for gawds sake.
There is not an issue put out in 1980 that wasn't simply fantastic.
I don't even know what to say. If you're a comic fan, you've read these issues. If you're not, go out and read them, and then you will be a comic fan.
Jean sacrfices herself to remain human. To be the woman that she was. Because she can't be the Phoenix anymore, she can't control that power. And because the only thing she can do to atone for the millions of lives lost is to offer up her own.
No matter how many times they ressurrect her, no matter how much Marvel screws with the continuity, she is Jean. She is eternal. And this is her story.
