LIFE INCARNATE VERSUS ENERGY INFINITE!
Jean Grey made a human choice, and it's come back to haunt her: The Dark God Perrikus has been freed from prison and set loose on a path of death and destruction. Now the PHOENIX must take action to protect her universe!
Rated T+
The artwork is simply stunning! Throughout Phoenix #5, each panel feels larger than life. The artwork of the Phoenix run has been beautiful but I would say this issue is the best of the run so far. Without giving too much away, the first few pages are feasts for the eyes. Once you pick up the comic and start reading you'll see why I say that. Another home run for the artists! Read Full Review
Stephanie Phillips has really nailed the pacing for the latest Jean Grey series. Phoenix #5 is an excellent example of that as the scale of the story is appropriately larger than life. Read Full Review
Phoenix #5 continues to solidify its place as one of the best X-Men books on the stands, putting Jean Grey in a new position and giving her new threats to face. It's no easy task to push a character forward, but Phillips and Miracolo are succeeding on every level. Read Full Review
It’s exciting to finally see Jean’s rich history continue to flourish. This time in a cosmic saga. The way that Claremont envisioned her journey as Phoenix to be. This series has been consistent with the storytelling and character development. I’m excited to see where it continues to take us. Seeing Jean explore her powers and the cosmos all by herself has been refreshing. I would love to see it be drawn by Russell Dauterman, R.B. Silva or Pepe Larraz. Please Marvel… make that happen.
This rocked. Definitely my favorite issue of the series yet. The art just felt better this time around, which could possibly be made so with the addition of Renna to the art duties, but I don't know for sure. Furthermore, the story was just stronger than its been in the past, in my opinion. I loved how powerful Jean was portrayed to be here, particularly. The stuff at the beginning and the ending to her fight with Gorr were both just so good. The introduction of Thanos has me even more hopeful, as well, as I'm super interested to see the two of them go against each other. I need more issues like this one, please.
