Phoenix Vol. 1: Orbital Resonance
Phoenix Vol. 1: Orbital Resonance | Stephanie Phillips
1 post | 1 read
From the ashes of the Krakoan era, founding X-Man Jean Grey once again unites with the power of the immortal entity, the Phoenix, and takes to the stars in this cosmic solo epic! She is Jean Grey, one of the most iconic X-Men. She is Phoenix, the nigh-omnipotent cosmic entity of pure power. She fights for life. She brings death. One woman, alone in space, who not only must do what no one else can: She yearns to. And when a desperate S.O.S. from Nova brings the Phoenix to the edge of a black hole where hundreds of souls hang in the balance, Jean is dedicated to protecting innocents. But whatever she does -- or fails to do -- will bring darkness to the universe and haunt her in ways she can scarcely imagine! Plus: You'd think that with all of outer space as her playground, Jean would be safe from family dropping by without warning -- but when your father-in-law is Corsair of the Starjammers, anything can happen! COLLECTING: Phoenix (2024) 1-5

Sending Jean/Phoenix to space is a concept so good it's crazy it hasn't been done. Putting her on a collision course with Thanos also makes sense. Unfortunately, much of the execution in terms of plot mechanics isn't very strong. Perrikus is not only a silly character but isn't even developed as a villain. The stuff with Corsair was good.
