X-Men Phoenix Warsong #1 - Marvel


Ok we're going back to the Phoenix storyline again, but this time with a twist. This time it looks like it's the "cuckoo's" that are going to be the recipient of the gift. The story starts out with someone controlling the girls into sleepwalking out to the grave sight of their sisters. Whoever it is is also strong enough to control Hellion, at the same time, so that he can use his telekinesis power to aid them in flight. At the same time, Emma is having a dream that she wakes up and she is the Phoenix, burns up everyone on campus, and then proceeds to burn up the world. Luckily this is just a dream, but she can still tell that something is wrong with her girls. The X-men check and test them, to see if maybe they're just going through some secondary mutation, but they find nothing. In the end they assume the mantle of the Phoenix, and are attempting to bring their sisters back to life. We also see a flash of the boy that the X-men are keeping in statis. I can't remember his name. But, is he the one controlling the girls? This is part 1 of a 5 part mini,so, we're not going to find all the answers this issue. Greg Pak writes it and Top Cow studios does the interiors. It's really nice looking. We'll have to wait until next issue to see where it's going from here.
