Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey
by Matthew Rosenberg
This was okayish. I mean we knew the big red would be coming back but how was the question!
So weird shit begins happening. Kids getting murdered. Weird psychic occurrences begin. Then the X-Men decide to break into teams to find out what it is. When they begin to piece it together we learn the Phoenix has returned but so has Jean! However, with her back is she who she says she is? At the same time we get to see Jean mentally breaking down little by little. Going through various images or people in her life and fading away.
Good: I liked some moments with Jean and characters. Especially the Scott moment and the Logan moment. I also forgot how much I liked Jean and when she returned I wanted her back on the team. Also, this moves very quickly, so it's never boring.
Bad: The storyline itself feels forced in a lot of ways. We know Matthew Rosenberg is a GREAT writer, but he can only do so much with this storyline. I also thought the art was okay, some cool moments, but nothing special.
Overall this is okay. Can read it and enjoy it, especially for Jean fans, but it won't blow your mind. A 2.5 out of 5 but I'll hit it with a 3 because why not.
