I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey by Matthew Rosenberg (Writer), Leinil Francis Yu (Penciler), Carlos Pacheco (Penciler), Joe Bennett (Penciler), Gerry Alanguilan (Inker), Refael Fonteriz (Inker), Lorenzo Ruggiero (Inker), Ramon Rosanas (Artist), Bellardino Brabo (Inker), Rachelle Rosenberg (Colorist), VC's Travis Lanham (Letterer)


Years ago Jean Grey became the Dark Phoenix and caused havoc and destruction and the X-Men were forced to kill her. They mourned her loss. Now there is strange phenomena going on around the world that is causing the X-Men to wonder if the Dark Phoenix and therefore Jean Grey have come back from the grave. 

A young woman named Jeannie waits tables at a diner. She suffers from nightmares about space.  The place has familiar faces come in for dinner.   Her boss, Annie seems to be guiding her towards something.

The X-Men go to check out the various hot spots around the globe and instead find monsters.  Kitty goes in search of a psychic in order to find Jean and find Emma Frost who tells her that Scott always talked about this place in New Mexico and that if it was close to Scott's heart it would be close to Jean's as well. 

So they head there and they find Jean's grave dug up and dead X-Men ready to fight them.  They also find a diner.  Some of them fight off the dead X-Men while they decide who should to indie the dinet and talk to Jean.  Wolverine pretty much decides that and goes in knowing he might have to kill the woman he loves.

This book seems like a way to cash in on the Phoenix saga.  While it is nice to see everyone in one comic, it really is a waste of time and a blight on the original comics. I give it one star out of five stars.
