“Better to Light a Small Candle...”

In "Better to Light a Small Candle...", Jean Grey faces an impossible choice when the Dweller in Darkness and D'Spayre threaten the M'Kraan Crystal, forcing her to draw on the Phoenix Force one last time. With the crystal beyond repair, Jean and the X-Men unite all minds across the universe in a final act of peace as the jewel explodes—ushering in a new cosmic era. Written by Ralph Macchio and illustrated by Yancey Labat, with colors by Paul Becton and inks by Ralph Cabrera, this pivotal issue features a cover by Roberto Flores and Ralph Cabrera.
