Rosenberg does it again, deepening the mystery. Theres some concern he can wrap it up in 3 more issues, but so far, hes established himself as one of the better miniseries writers for the X-Men in a long time. The second issue does what I didnt think was possible, and provides a near perfect follow up! Read Full Review

The art for this issue is by Carlos Pacheco and Rafael Fonteriz, and it's terrific work, with striking layouts and powerful character designs. Read Full Review

The mystery continues to deepen as Jean sees her world coming apart and the X-Men search for a threat that could consume the planet. Read Full Review

Psy-KickHow the writers will use the X-Men's lack of psychics to get in touch with their old teammate? There is this energy concerning loss that circulates among the group. This consistent push and pull that the X-Men goes through is a metaphor throughout each series. Rosenberg uses death as a tactical approach to nostalgia. How can one create a eulogy for someone they consistently resurrect? This series is going to be the hardest to put down, but the saddest to pick up. I just can't stop saying, they are about to lose their friend, again. Read Full Review

Phoenix Resurrection is happening fast, hop on now before you get left behind. This is way bigger and better than any of the previews made it out to be. Matthew Rosenberg is doing big things without needing to halt an entire line of comic books. Read Full Review

First of all there seems to be a nice steady built up in this issue giving us a chance of what feels like bonding with a smaller cast of characters in the story. Whereas in the last issue there was a big cast and not enough development, I always feel that if there is a big cast the characters fall short of being who they are. It feels like there is a real plan and plot to this resurrection which is steadily being revealed through each issue like completing a big puzzle. Read Full Review

Issue 2 continues the great story involving the return of Jean Grey and hopefully some other X-Men characters. While there might be too many characters to do them all justice, it's great to see the X-Men back on top form lately. If you haven't already got into this series and love the X-Men, this is a excellent series so far. Read Full Review

In another bizarre tale, PHOENIX RESURRECTION #2 will grip readers and present new questions that will challenge predictability. Read Full Review

Phoenix Resurrection isn't turning out to be the shot in the arm the X-Men franchise needs. This chapter is again bogged down by dull ensemble scenes that seem to accomplish little beyond prolonging Jean's return. Jean's personal storyline fares better at least, and this issue is more satisfying from a visual perspective. Even so, it's hard not to yearn for the story after this story instead. Read Full Review

Phoenix Resurrection #2 is a solid follow-up on what the first issue of The Return of Jean Grey event established. Matthew Rosenberg has created a lot of intriguing story elements around the return of Jean Grey and Phoenix's return to the Marvel Universe. While some of them end up falling flat there are enough plot points that hit the mark to keep readers coming back to find out how Phoenix Resurrection ends up shaping the X-Men franchise. Read Full Review

Phoenix Resurrection #2 furthers the mysteries introduced in the first issue and proved a little confusing if you hadn't read Jean Grey #10, which explained just what happened to all the psychics. So far I'm enjoying the mini-series; all the little easter eggs are great and seeing the mutants back together is fantastic, but can Rosenberg actually wrap the story up in the next three issues? Fingers crossed! Read Full Review

This is a prime example of the decompression in comics storytelling and I'd imagine when it's all over we'll see that things could have been edited and the story pace picked up. For a second issue, it takes the momentum of the first and grinds it to a halt. Read Full Review

There's a good X-Men story in here somewhere, but it feels like Rosenberg is really spinning the wheels at this point. Read Full Review

The X-Men admit they're facing a Phoenix problem and fret about their ill-timed lack of psychic firepower. "Elsewhere" Jean starts going quietly crazy, and an encounter with Magneto bridges the gap between "Elsewhere" and the 616 in a remarkable way. While we aren't getting any answers yet, the questions are just getting more fascinating. Carlos Pacheco's art is subtly perfect, handling a gigantic cast without missing a beat. Matthew Rosenberg is using this miniseries as an excuse to give the X-Men a high-level organization that we didn't realize they needed, but it's hugely welcome. The "Weapon X" team becomes the "Silver" team and Mr. Rosenberg also introduces immensely promising Black and Yellow teams. It's a pity their odds of outliving this miniseries look slim. I also love Mr. Rosenberg's broad sense of humor; he handles Bobby's horrifying dad jokes and the more subtle continuity gags peppering "Elsewhere" Jean's story with equal aplomb. more

Really intrigued by the Magneto pieces. Another great issue, I hope Rosenberg ends up with an X-book after this mini.

Yawning ! Sorry ! I'm just wake up from this one. Did a writer really do some work ?
Where are the editor when Hellion have both is arms back ?
The part with the dead in Jean consciousness is nice, but what Eric do her ?
In fact, I don't care. That's so empty ... Will go to sleep once more. Wake me if something really interesting begun.
