Phoenix #1
Phoenix #1 (2024) launches with a gripping fusion of cosmic wonder and personal stakes, as Adani recounts her origins tied to the Phoenix Force amid a desperate ceremony on her dying world. When the Phoenix intervenes to save her planet’s sun, a black hole’s collapse in an Omega Core prison unleashes dangerous inmates—including Perrikus—setting off a chain reaction that culminates in tragedy on Adani’s homeworld. Written by Stephanie Phillips and illustrated by Alessandro Miracolo, with colors by David Curiel and letters by VC's Cory Petit, the issue’s haunting tone is matched by Yasmine Putri’s striking cover.
