I LOVED! Stephanie Phillips did a great job on Phoenix/Jean. I loved how she made Jean dynamic with her feelings. the narration being done by someone close to Jean was something splendid. Alessandro Miracolo did a simply PERFECT job on the illustrations for this comic, Phoenix's powers were beautiful and I simply LOVED how they worked on Jean's powers. One of the best comics of the year, IF NOT the best! more

Um ótimo começo, estou ansioso para ler as próximas edições.

Such a great issue. Seen Phoenix doing all this cosmic adventure is just amazing and makes me want see more!

Very good, I loved it a lot.

Phoenix #1 blew me away! Stephanie Phillips gets Jean and the portrayal of her powers, especially with the black hole, was mesmerizing. Loved how Jean respected the cosmic balance rather than just warping reality to her will. It’s great to see Jean accept her identity as a cosmic entity and off as a solo hero in an ongoing series. Long overdue, but happy to have Stephanie and Miracolo start this new status quo. The creative team nails it and I’m excited for the journey they’ve crafted. more

Well... At least this is good.
I miss Krakoa tho

Great book, love the art and writing.

stephanie phillips and alessandro miracolo are absolutely cookin with phoenix. jean dancing with a black hole is EVERYTHING to me

Very well written. Stephanie Phillips truly did the character justice. I am very excited to read more.

An amazing story with a great character Steph did her big one with this can't wait to read the upcoming issues.

We’ve had very few perfect or close to perfect #1s this year and I feel this easily fits among their ranks. The entire introduction flows nicely from where we last left Jean in X-Men #35 telling Charles she’s not a priest and she can’t offer him absolution from his krakoan sins. The never ending path of redemption seems to be the theme here for our characters and it’s further supported by Jean’s first act in space being the reignition of a dying sun she would’ve consumed for sustenance before as Dark Phoenix.

Miracolo’s art is kinetic and the book does heavily focus on action but the little emotional breaks all feel very real and fit nicely within the story whether it’s Jean confiding in Scott about her status or Nova refusing to abandon the prisoners to a death sentence.

The issue checks all the boxes it has to for me. We know Jean is Phoenix, she’s thrust into the marvel cosmic context and her connection to the universe is showcased beautifully and so are her ongoing struggles with being out there in space but doing something all too familiar to her: protecting a world that hates and fears her (on a more gargantuan scale than ever before)

I wanted to make this as spoiler free as possible but it’s hard to ignore the new character Adani who seems to represent the reader and the universe’s widespread fear of the Phoenix while also giving returning/new readers insight on where Jean/Phoenix are currently sitting.

You close this book knowing that whatever Jean does or fails to do will have an everlasting impact on the universe down to its most infinitesimal parts. The scales will never be balanced. Each choice she makes brings salvation to one and death to another. more

The narration of the comic was very well constructed. Stephanie manages to present Jean's dilemmas from the point of view of a person who has little knowledge of the character, as well as new readers, in this way we can see, from another perspective, the dilemmas of the Jean we already know.

The art and colors are a spectacle in themselves, Alessandro manages to deliver great fight scenes and creativity in the use of her powers. This is a great start for Phoenix. If you are a new reader and want to get to know Jean, start with Phoenix (2024) #1 more

This book is amazing, every moment was wonderful and the end, breathtaking.
