Don’t Miss As Jean Rises To New Power & Prominence In The Galaxy in Phoenix #9

By Chad Burdette

 on March 7, 2025

From the ashes of Krakoa, a new Phoenix series relaunches from writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Alessandro Miracolo this July, Phoenix helps to kick off the second wave of new X-Men titles after Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X wrap up the seminal Krakoa era. Those two series, along with X-Men: Forever, have put Jean Grey and the Phoenix at the forefront of mutant-king’s last stand against Orchis and Enigma, a Sinister ascended Dominion.

Comic Watch Reviews:
