Claremont and Byrne's X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga with Susan Kirtley

 Susan Kirtley (college professor and head of the Comics Studies Program at Portland State University) is really fun to talk to about comics because she's an accomplished academic and also a total comics nerd.  We discuss the all-time classic X-men run of The Dark Phoenix Saga, oscillating throughout between discourse about what greater meaning can be found within the story and pointing out which parts are super awesome.  Come for Wolverine carving fools up, stay for the dialogue about intersectional feminism.
