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:

Since Stephanie Phillips and Alessandro Miracolo’s PHOENIX launched last year, Jean Grey has been reborn as the cosmic superhero she was destined to be! As the galaxy’s prime protector, Jean has tapped into the uppermost limits of her abilities in reality-shaking battles against Perrikus, Thanos, and the Dark Gods, all while struggling to hold onto her humanity

Traversing the stars at the peak of her cosmic power, Jean thought she was equipped to handle anything, but this heartfelt reunion will rattle her to her core and make her question her entire purpose

With the reveal that her sister is alive, Cable Timeslides in for a visit in Phoenix #13

PHOENIX #13

Jean Grey’s beloved, long-dead sister Sara is… alive and well among the stars?!

On a mysterious planet called Greyhaven, the Grey sisters have had an impossible reunion… But while Jean is overjoyed, other forces at work in the universe are less than thrilled — especially the psychically-attuned ones: like the telepathic, time-traveling soldier known as CABLE.

After all, what’s an X-Men family reunion without at least one time-displaced stepchild?!
