Marvel has released a new "Today in Marvel History" animated video, hosted by Miss Minutes from Loki, to celebrate the anniversary of "The Dark Phoenix Saga," which began in Uncanny X-Men #129 on October 16, 1979[1]. This storyline, by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, details Jean Grey's descent into madness and propelled Uncanny X-Men to become Marvel's top comic[1]. The comic was notable for featuring a good guy turning bad and for introducing key characters like Kitty Pryde and Emma Frost[1]. While the "Dark Phoenix Saga" has been adapted twice in live-action films (X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Dark Phoenix), neither did true justice to the story, with the '90s X-Men: The Animated Series offering the most faithful adaptation[1].
