AIPT - Collier Jennings
Feb 05, 2025Phoenix #8 is not just a stirring story of self-acceptance, but it truly strives to have Jean Grey come to terms with her past. It also brings to mind a line from William Shakespeare's The Winter Tale: "Do as the heavens have done, forget your evil; With them forgive yourself." The Bard probably didn't know it, but he wrote the perfect line to describe Jean's life. Read Full Review

Feb 05, 2025There was some really stunning moments throughout the comic, mostly having to do with Jean. For instance, when Jean is fighting the Dark Phoenix. The bright colors mixed with the cosmic powers coming from both powerhouses gave us a full page of beautiful art that really brought a whole new depth to the story. We also get some really great looks at the former X-Men team when they went to fight the Dark Phoenix, which was a joy to see. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - B. Radtz
Feb 05, 2025Phillips and Miracolo continue to weave this cosmic odyssey, with Jean as its Jason. The team continues to explore who Jean and the Phoenix are, without the urge to differentiate the two. Phoenix continues to go up against some of Marvels biggest cosmic guns, and its great to see Jean out of her comfort zone. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Feb 09, 2025Theres a whole lot of head cannon that actually makes the longevity of everything still sort of actually connect-up in the Marvel Universe even sixty-plus years into the history of the multi-title mega-project that was started by Kirby, Lee and Goodman back in the early 1960s. Time does weird things in a world of dramatic physics, rampant magic and all of the drama that so often accompanies it. Jean Grey COULD be seventy-something years old and still be quite active with the Phoenix force. Its cool to ee some reference to the long-run of the life of a character like Jean. Read Full Review

Feb 06, 2025For as epic as the setting is Phoenix #8 can't avoid feeling like a filler chapter to the current story arc of this series. Read Full Review

"Consistently high quality." Some comics start strong and taper off-but this one maintains top-tier art from start to finish. It's impressively polished.

Oh wow, the art direction in this issue really takes a leap. The visual storytelling is so strong; you don't even need dialogue sometimes to understand the emotional beats. It's like every panel is telling its own silent story. The flow of action is so fluid!

The book continues to provide us with even more insight into Jean's rich past, present and future. It's exciting to see her journey and struggles into her ascension to becoming a literal god. Or from the looks of it... greater than a god.
