Death isn't
forever in comics. In 2003, Jean Grey died during an iconic run on
New X-Men
by acclaimed writer Grant Morrison. Since then, that version of Grey
has been dead, but this December, Grey will return in the five-issue
miniseries Phoenix
Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey.

The new story
written by Matthew Rosenberg and drawn by Leinil Yu will follow--you
guessed it--the resurrection of one of the original five X-Men:
"Strange events are no surprise to the X-Men," reads the
official synopsis from Marvel. "But when events start occurring
that are more specific and stranger than usual, the group is forced
to confront the truth: could Jean be alive after all? And how will
this Jean Grey deal with a world that is now so different from the
one she left years ago?"
The story is still
a pretty big mystery at the moment, but the upcoming months in the
current X-Men titles should shed some light on what's coming ahead.
"This is very cool mystery building to a mind-warping climax,"
said senior editor Mark Paniccia. "And it has plenty of what
you’d expect from an X-Men epic of this magnitude. Action, romance,
sacrifice, lots of X-Men, and five great artists."
In addition to Yu,
the series will feature five artists taking on the story. It has yet
to be revealed how that is going to come into play, whether each
issue will be an individual artist or all five will be featured in
each issue.
Jean Grey does
currently exist in the Marvel universe, as a version of her from the
past has been living in the present for the past few years. However,
the teenage Jean Grey doesn't have the experience, memories, or the
connection to the Phoenix Force of her future counterpart.
It will be
extremely interesting to see these two characters meet and find out
how the adult Jean Grey reacts to her younger counterpart, the deaths
of Cyclops and Wolverine, and an older Logan from a parallel world
currently on the X-Men. Again, this mutant team is no stranger to the
strange.
Phoenix
Resurrection will hit stores on
December 27, and interestingly enough, Phoenix will be returning to
comics 11 months before the
big screen adaptation of the legendary story The Dark Phoenix Saga.
X-Men: Dark
Phoenix is set to release on November
2, 2018.
