RATED T+
The progression of the Phoenix Force as witnessed in Claremonts original run had a beautiful gravity about it. The corruption of Jean Grey...her death and her redemption through the transformation of Rachel Summers was one of the more powerful storylines of the 1980s. Phillips and company find new life in old power in another thoroughly satisfying issue that still manages to break new ground for a character who has been around for over half a century. Its a fun adventure that continues to ride some very compelling gravity into the current era. Read Full Review

Phoenix #9 is purely a set-up chapter. There isn't a whole lot of movement in this issue as the place we start is similar to where we end this issue on. Read Full Review
The world-building is impressive—rich, detailed, and believable, inviting readers to lose themselves completely.
The Emotional Depth is Unmatched!
What stands out most is how deeply the comic connects with you on an emotional level. It’s not just about action or spectacle—there’s real heart here. The characters' personal struggles, triumphs, and relationships are written with such depth that you can't help but feel deeply invested in their journey.

"Emotionally expressive art."
