The art of Phoenix #4 is nothing short of stunning, which isn't surprising if you have read the predecessors. With beautiful bright colors by David Curiel, and striking details by Marco Renna, there's no way to miss here. Of course, Cory Petit's lettering is the exclamation point at the end of this phenomenal sentence. Read Full Review

The Dialogue is So Well-Written!
The characters' voices are distinct, and the dialogue feels real. There’s a natural flow to the conversations, making the characters come alive. The emotional weight in each exchange is palpable, and the banter between characters is witty without feeling forced. It’s masterful storytelling, through and through.
Clever Dialogue With Depth
The writing shines brightest in the dialogue. It’s sharp, believable, and often poetic. Characters have distinct voices, and their conversations reveal just as much as the visuals. Witty when it needs to be, but always purposeful.
"Backgrounds that actually matter."
So many comics skimp on backgrounds, but not this one. The settings are rich with detail and add so much atmosphere to the scenes.
The book continues to lay a fascinating foundation to the Phoenix lore and it is exciting to see the cosmic journey that Jean has embarked. I’m thrilled to continue to witness this adventure and see where it takes us. My only drawback… sadly is the art. I’m not an artist by any means but this series needs a less cartoony approach. It deserves the likes of Russell Dauterman, R.B Silva or Stuart Immonen.
