I think there's probably a reason why it's the only one that got effectively retconned in volume 2, with a plot by Claremont and George Caragonnes (who'd go on to be the brains behind Penthouse Comix). That one's at least as much of a slaughterfest, but it's not as bad and it's got a much stronger ending.
What annoys me is that this is riffing off of the original Dark Phoenix ending, which doesn't include Jean committing genocide and never intended her to die, because why the fuck would they do that?? Its a "Jim Shooter Was Right!" story.
