The original Phoenix saga got cheapened by making it turn out it was never Jean Grey; so even the Watcher got fooled? Please.
There was a retcon about 3 years ago. As per current continuity it was Jean Grey. Phoenix and Jean are the same thing.

Perhaps, but during the mid-to-late 80's when Jean and X-Factor came into being, it cheapened the event at that time.

At the time but thats irrelevant now that we know as per the original concept that jean and phoenix are the same thing. Jean was dark phoenix. the cocoon is just part of her phoenix life cycle. she always dies to reborn and then emerges from a phoenix egg. New xmen made that clear. That way the cheapening of phoenix was written over.

Oh Powerful Moments like you see them.
I'd say
Batman losing to Bane
Superman Dying fighting Doomsday
Gwen Stacy dying
Hal Jordans Fall (You might say Kilowogs killing, or Sinestro.....or the last pic as Parralax)
Green Arrow shooting the Arrow at Hal
Batgirl shotJason Todd (well we all know which one would that be)
Barry Allens last Run
...you might see that I am mostly a DC fan.

I've got to go with Superman's death....sorry no pics.
This has got to be easily one of the top 3 most well known events in comicbook history, Marvel included.
It was the death of an icon, and whether one is a Supes fan or hater, they would agree that his death reached everyone in all comicdom...not necessarily on a sad personal level, but more on a level like everyone knows. Even if you didn't know a thing about comics or who the bleep Superman is, you heard about it across the globe.
The pic with him dead in Lois' arms is probably the pic eveyone remembers very well.
I agree 1000%. I have no more to say on this topic

Death and return of Superman-when you are having skits on SNL about this, you know sumpin is big in comics. Everybody knows this story, Everybody has seen the cover of Superman #75 (Which I proudly own a few), everybody knows doomsday and the 4 supermen. There was a video game based on this one entire event. Talk about a milestone. It was real moving, even though it was a marketing ploy, still enjoyable though and it can never be done again with the same affect. The subsequent funereal for a friend issues were great because you had just about everybody from DC make an appearnce.
Death of Robin-big moment, still looking part 2 though, anybody wanna sell me one?
