Conceived by writer Chris Claremont and penciller John Byrne (credited as co-plotters, and aided immeasurably by inker Terry Austin), the story begins in The Uncanny X-Men #129 when Professor X sends his team in search of two new mutants detected by Cerebro. The figures in question turn out to be Kitty Pride, who would eventually join the team as Sprite, and the flashy disco singer Dazzler, who would go on to star in her own book. Little do the X-Men know that they're walking into a trap set by the Hellfire Club, a group of supervillains that seem perfectly matched to counter our merry mutants. The insidious part of the plot, however, is how a mysterious man named Jason Wyngarde seems to have been Jean Grey's lover in another time, another era, and how that might give him control over her now. Jean Grey was, like Cyclops, an original member of the X-Men, and had the power of telepathy (a gentle power, like that of the Invisible Girl of the same era). When she was reborn as Phoenix in issue #108, however, she became power incarnate. Can it be controlled, or must the X-Men make a choice between the woman they love and the fate of the universe? It's all here in this nine-issue volume, plus Wolverine alone, Emma Frost, the return of original members Angel and Beast, and a showdown with Lilandra's Imperial Guard in one of comics' great milestone issues, X-Men #137. Read it, true believer--'nuff said. --David Horiuchi]]> 15091 3.69 5394 379 15083 3.94 4016 330 144436 3.53 321 17 1984 247221 1569712239 9781569712238 3 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173113235m/247221.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173113235s/247221.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/247221.Splinter_of_the_Mind_s_Eye 3.18 96 144436 3.53 321 17 52180 3.61 832 26 1996 1751622 0785127631 9780785127635 6 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1240721498m/1751622.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1240721498s/1751622.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1751622.Essential_X_Men_Vol_8 3.68 41 15091 3.69 5394 379 67362 3.55 921 87 144436 3.53 321 17 2007 35443 1569718369 9781569718360 1 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168588223m/35443.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168588223s/35443.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35443.Star_Wars_Tales_Vol_3 3.67 36 20038 3.68 179 6 5787 3.79 1014 66 18834 3.79 222 14 479004 3.67 46 1 235045 3.80 71 6 1214785 3.66 67 3 54918 3.92 591 16 20013 3.80 691 34 2885606 3.67 36 1 1088108 3.67 36 1 18523 3.68 146 14 153690 3.65 145 10 15488 3.67 86 2 129419 3.75 213 25 47761 3.69 150 17 2885607 3.67 36 1 77185 3.77 1738 203 452071 3.77 203 15 14965 4.18 24008 958 2885608 3.67 36 1 61967 3.46 224 18 127894 3.34 99 18 990801 3.68 37 1 14459 3.49 1088 68 7165 3.49 134 10 93093 3.62 45 1 144436 3.53 321 17 54927 4.11 4418 197 611841 3.72 177 6 2003 553836 1401200052 9781401200053 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175742459m/553836.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175742459s/553836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/553836.Superman_The_Man_of_Steel_Vol_2 3.52 33 ]]> 15083 3.94 4016 330 144436 3.53 321 17 10178 3.59 1444 122 2003 1329178 0785122036 9780785122036 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182789944m/1329178.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182789944s/1329178.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1329178.Excalibur_Classic_Volume_4_Cross_Time_Caper_Book_2_Tpb 3.48 25 15091 3.69 5394 379 243378 3.41 34 1 144436 3.53 321 17 2007 6368048 1 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1238353052m/6368048.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1238353052s/6368048.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6368048-green-lantern-superman 3.41 17
Today. Hal Jordan is feeling lonely, and visits Clark Kent for a chat. They accompany each other to a museum convention Clark is supposed to cover for the Daily Planet, and find the green lamp in an exhibition. Hal recognizes it as a power battery, and tries loading his power ring with it. The effect is disastrous and a wave of magic energy kills both heroes. They wind up in the Region of the Just Dead and encounter Deadman, who explains that their deaths are not irrevocable until they have gone "into the light". Hal then tries using his ring to take them back to their bodies, the worst thing he could have done...

Meanwhile, the Phantom Stranger sits in the apartment given to him by the Lords of Order, his current masters. Sensing that something else needs his attention, he finally leaves the apartment forever and dismisses the Lords. Now and forever, he is on his own.

Superman and Hal have wound up in Hell, where Superman's super-senses can't experience anything but suffering, fear and pain. Horrified by realizing that he can't save these innumerable souls, he is slowly going mad. The catatonic man of steel can't do anything but float around and cry, while a terrified Green Lantern desperately tries waking him up. When the two of them are attacked by blood-thirsty demons, Hal once again uses his ring, and they disappear.

Superman and Green Lantern encounter the power that killed them - the sentient Green Flame, the remains of the magic energies of Maltus. The Green Flame explains that their deaths were a result of Jordan trying to load his scientific ring with supernatural energies. Then it tempts Hal to give in for the supernatural power of the Green Flame instead. At that point, the Stranger appears, and teaches Hal how to tame the corrupt Flame. Hal reads the oath of Alan Scott, loads his ring, and the threat of the Green Flame is neutralized. The Stranger then returns Hal's and Superman's souls to their bodies, disposing of the lamp.

Alive after this experience, Hal is feeling better. After a warm good-bye, the two heroes part.]]> 1221698 4.13 285574 26471 14022 4.50 5688 92 117884 3.95 660 97 61338 4.14 92 14 144436 3.53 321 17 9934 4.31 9632 327 29683 3.41 34 2 321799 4.43 70089 1648 15088 3.71 196 13 5122 4.05 4015 393 57285 4.36 6803 207 61925 3.66 1066 95 55811 4.30 26848 934 99512 3.36 154 17 2000 5408488 1595822461 9781595822468 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5408488.Indiana_Jones_Omnibus_The_Further_Adventures_Volume_1 4.00 8 44724 3.78 423 42 2718 3.59 1076 89 15083 3.94 4016 330 35400 3.84 535 62 12740 4.02 1897 145 28710 3.60 1366 145 129914 3.59 103 13 144436 3.53 321 17 93098 3.70 46 4 93057 4.21 14 4 186660 3.71 14 3 1326115 3.59 34 3 2893867 4.00 8 1 44712 3.80 374 51 17732 3.63 324 30 2009 3251354 1595821724 9781595821720 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3251354.Star_Wars_Omnibus_Early_Victories 3.00 7 144436 3.53 321 17 29682 3.60 221 7 61331 3.29 387 29 2008 6418504 0785130799 9780785130796 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6418504-essential-x-men-volume-9-tpb 4.25 4 15091 3.69 5394 379 144436 3.53 321 17 2908077 4.25 4 0 54937 3.56 103 11 93208 2.94 138 14 15090 3.76 2978 225 7165 3.49 134 10 169661 3.40 197 18 508272 4.31 13 2 22914 3.89 47 8 61915 3.75 8 1 176141 4.10 1846 99 2009 1960869 1563899876 9781563899874 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1196554703m/1960869.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1196554703s/1960869.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1960869.Just_Imagine_Stan_Lee_Creating_the_DC_Universe_Book_2 3.20 5 Just Imagine Stan Lee . . .
