This was pretty cool. A nice goodbye for Jean and Scott.

So Jean comes back to life. Nothing new here. But this time we really focus on the Phoenix force. It's unstable life, it's memories, it's odd sense of needing to be a part of something. It's actually pretty interesting and we get to see a lot of character vulnerable in situations we normally don't get. I especially liked Scott and Emma's issues here, but also watching the X-Men work together like Beast and kitty and Logan is all great. They all have to come together to stop the Dark Phoenix from killing 5 million people again. On top of that a return of another mutant might stop them.

Good: I really enjoyed a lot of the interactions here. They felt like family, friends, a lot of bitterness, and a lot of heart. The mistakes of the past made them all question things in a interesting way. I also liked the fights, for they made the powers of most people come into full effect and have some great moments. I know a lot of people hate the art but I enjoyed it, and thought it looked pretty solid.

Bad: I thought the Shira or whatever they're called were lame. Also, bringing back the Omega Mutant was cool but he felt like just a subplot to draw out the final fight a lot longer. As if he was a afterthought.

Overall, I really liked the dialog and pacing here. I also thought the art was good. The story had a few issues but overall a interesting and fun title you can read as a standalone. A 3.5 out of 5.
