Phoenix #0

Phoenix #0 (2010) kicks off with a raw, personal moment as Ed Tyler’s reunion with old friends takes a terrifying turn when aliens abduct him, his ex-girlfriend Alexis, and his high school best friend. The story plunges into psychological and physical experimentation, culminating in Ed’s death—only for him to return, leaving the aliens stunned and the stakes irrevocably changed. Written by J. M. DeMatteis, Jim Krueger, Brendan Deneen, and Peter Hogan, with art by Ian Dorian and inks by Guy Dorian Sr., the issue’s haunting tone is elevated by MO!’s colors and Richard Emms’ sharp lettering, all framed by a cover by Ian Dorian and Guy Dorian Sr.
