Marvel Unveils New Phoenix Series Preview

The Phoenix forges into the depths of the Marvel Universe in the new X-Men: From the Ashes “Phoenix” series from writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Alessandro Miracolo. After the events of the Fall of X, Jean Grey becomes further entwined with Marvel’s embodiment of life, death, and rebirth. Exploring her cosmic power, she takes to the stars. The challenge, however, lies in how the cosmic community will respond to Phoenix’s return, given its reputation for leaving destruction in its wake.

“LIFE! FIRE! POWER! POSSIBILITY! PHOENIX! She is JEAN GREY. She is PHOENIX. She saves the world. She brings death. One woman, alone in space, who not only must do what no one else can: she yearns to. A desperate S.O.S. from NOVA brings the Phoenix to the edge of a black hole, where hundreds of lives hang in the balance… and whatever Jean does — or fails to do — will bring darkness to the universe and haunt her in ways she can scarcely imagine…”

When Marvel announced the new “Phoenix” series, Phillips expressed her fascination with the complexity of Jean Grey. “Jean is one of the most powerful characters I’ve ever written,” she stated. “The beauty and challenge to Jean is that she is imbued with a cosmic force alongside the morals, shortcomings, and empathy of a human being. The dichotomy between those two is something incredibly special about Jean and means that she is constantly doing a dance between humanity and absolute power. So, that dance is what we hope to have on full display in this story… a cosmic ballet that shows how beautiful the Phoenix Force can be when working in tandem with Jean Grey. Alessandro Miracolo has made that cosmic dance look absolutely gorgeous.”
