Last month, a shocking return was hinted at for the pages of Phoenix this May. In Phoenix #11, written by Stephanie Phillips and illustrated by new series artist Roi Mercado, Jean Grey will come face-to-face with a long-lost loved one—her older sister, Sara Grey! Soaring through the stars at the peak of her cosmic powers, Jean believed she was prepared for anything, but this emotional reunion will shake her to her very core and make her question her entire purpose as Phoenix. Sara, a long-forgotten character whose tragic death in the early ’90s left a lingering mystery in X-Men lore, will reveal her incredible story in the following issue, Phoenix #12, set to release in June.
As Phoenix, Jean Grey has encountered boundless mystery and awe, exploring a universe full of endless potential. But nothing as astonishing as this: her sister, Sara, has returned from the dead. Murdered by the Phalanx many years ago—just another tragic chapter in the Grey family’s history—Sara stands before Jean, alive and well. But when? Why? How? These are questions worth asking, and Jean Grey should probably ask them. Needless to say, this would be a very different story if she did.
What does Stephanie Phillips have to say?
“Jean’s story is often defined by resurrection, so it feels deeply personal to ask her to confront the return of someone she lost and never expected to see again,” Phillips shared. “This forces Jean to grapple with more than just the weight of the Phoenix… It’s about the deeply human conflict between responsibility and longing. Can she balance the cosmic burden of what she is with the personal desire to reclaim what she lost?”
