Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
Yeah it will be a nice change of pace for Phoenix to be a hero again. Although, it's still possible that Rachel isn't "the Phoenix" but rather the daughter of the Phoenix instead. I am still curious if they are going to go in that direction where she is becoming a Phoenix in her own right separate from the "mother Phoenix". Maybe that would complicate things too much, but it would finally let them finish off the concept of her being Starchild.

A very good week for us I personally am very excited!!!
I hope the covers aren't misleading. It's about time the X-books reclaimed the phoenix from Aaron.
I just realized they are really doing Rachel's Phoenix resurrection colour scheme after she had all her memories fully restored after the battle with Necrom and the Phoenix' battle with Galactus.

I'm really interested to see what happens under Hickman. That Brooks artwork seems to have X-Men of all points in their careers. This version of Rachel (or the post Necrom) was her strongest incarnation where she was freed from Ahab and Mojo's programming, and was in full control of the PF as its consciousness went mute to avoid stealing lives from the yet-to-be-born. Maybe I was wrong and Rachel is getting the PF back. Perhaps in the future where she and Stryfe are it comes to her seeking a host that will help redeem it for all of its mistakes since AvX.
