Cosmic series? Well let’s hope she doesn’t eat a star and kill a planet.

Posted this in Jean's thread, but thought I'd post it here too:

With what little time I have between work and school, I've been slowly continuing my read-through of Phillips' work. As I noted before, I quite liked Cosmic Ghost Rider, and I'm really digging Grim; a lot. I'm also intrigued by We Only Kill Each Other. But I just read Black Widow & Hawkeye #1, which dropped last month, and I am thrilled. Phillips finally clicked for me. I'm willing to bet the introspective tone, along with the intrapersonal and interpersonal character dynamics, she's going for with this series is what we're going to get with Phoenix. And the narrative boxes! Don't get me started on the narrative boxes. Just ::chef's kiss::.

It seems Phillips’ strengths lie in writing solo characters, which is good, and I think she's aware enough of Phoenix’s iconic role and stature in comics to make her push hard toward greatness as a writer with this character Besides, it's clear she fancies working with the themes—loss, trauma, dissociation, struggles with great power—central to Phoenix’s story. (Incidentally, it feels both surreal and thrilling to be referring to Jean as Phoenix.) But yeah, my confidence in her work just shot through the roof. The way she writes Natasha... I just know she's going to get Jean.

I wonder if Jean Phoenix will be full blown cosmic for the duration of her time or if there are "dressed down" human moments in there as well. I'm imagining Jean Grey powering down and mixing it up at an interstellar cantina. Something visually along the lines of Janet Van Dyne in the Quantum realm incognito.


I do think the new design improves exponentially if she does manifest flaming wings as a cape. Reminds me of early versions of Firehawk over at DC.
