## Resource

The X-Men will return to the big screen this summer. One might even show up in Spider-Man Brand New Day! Because of this I assembled the all-star team of Crystal, Gil, and Ming Chen from Comic Book Men to help me review the last mainline X-Men movie. Find out how Dark Phoenix extinguished the franchise. https://youtu.be/2hsPt4pFshs https://rumble.com/v7cq43i-how-dark-phoenix-extinguished-the-x-men-franchise-hack-the-movies-with-ming.html
