Amazon.com Review
Before you say, "What, another Dark Phoenix story?"--well, on second thought, you can say that, because Phoenix: Endsong is indeed another Dark Phoenix story, though maybe the best-looking one yet. In Greg Pak's five-part miniseries, Jean Grey returns to once again test the resolve of those who love her if they can destroy her for the good of the universe. Ultimately, the story doesn't amount to much, but few artists draw women as beautiful as Greg Land does, and if your main interest is seeing Jean Grey and Emma Frost looking as gorgeous as they've ever looked, Phoenix: Endsong is worth the price of admission. --David Horiuchi

Phoenix Endsong: Superb Art but a Mediocre Story
By Hound Dog
I had eagerly anticipated the release of the "Phoenix: Endsong" mini-series (hyped as the final "Phoenix" story) once it had been announced by Marvel Comics late last year. However, upon reading Greg Pak's story, what I had hoped for and had expected to read was simply not to be.
The Story's Premise:
The Shi'ar Empire has developed a weapon somehow capable of destroying the Phoenix Force, which has just returned to this galaxy. With the Shi'ar starship in menacing pursuit, the Phoenix returns to Earth seeking to renew its life bond with Jean Grey, only to discover that Jean is now deceased, and that her beloved Cyclops has become romantically involved with the chilly Emma Frost.
Meanwhile, the X-Men are soon alerted to the return of Phoenix when it steals Jean's body from her grave at Professor Xavier's estate. It creates the looming question for the remainder of the story: has Jean been truly resurrected (against her will)? What transpires from there are the X-Men's battle preparations for what will supposedly be their final confrontation with Phoenix to ultimately determine Jean's fate.
Rating: 4/5. One major plot and two potentially intriguing sub-plots were probably too ambitious for only five issues.
Story Assessment:
Initially, there is plenty of promise in the story's first chapter to suggest a satisfying finale for the Phoenix saga will be coming. For example, Wolverine is mostly bewildered in his first solo encounter with the Phoenix, but he clearly knows that something sinister is brewing.
However, in the subsequent chapters, the story quality becomes much more uneven, as Greg Pak evidently had a hard time coming up with newly inspired sequences to help keep the reader's interest engaged. Is the X-Men's bickering over Cyclops' inexplicable relationship with Emma Frost really anything new? Or that Wolverine is genuinely heartbroken over Jean's death? Or that Kitty Pryde despises Emma Frost? Or that the X-Men will inevitably be dependent upon Jean to finally vanquish Phoenix? This question kept coming to me: why is "Endsong" important or even a story necessary to tell if it is so heavily dependent upon recycled material?
Additionally, in part due to the short length of the chapters, little, if any, logical explanation is given for various plot gaps such as:
1. Why wouldn't the Phoenix know of Jean's demise from the "Planet X" storyline if Jean already became part of the omnipotent Phoenix Force just before her death?
2. How did the Shi'ar develop a weapon capable of destroying Phoenix?
3. Why isn't Scott & Jean's daughter, Rachel Grey (a Phoenix herself), actually involved in the plot?
4. How could the Beast on such short notice implausibly manage to invent an effective trap to contain Phoenix?
Finally and worst of all, the story's conclusion (especially the awful last page) was simply a cheat, and made me wonder why did I bother finish reading "Endsong" in the first place? In comparison, Jean's fate at the end of Grant Morrison's "Planet X" and "Here Comes Tomorrow" stories both now seem much more poignant and original.
I had sincerely hoped this would be Marvel's worthy answer to "Green Lantern: Rebirth" or even "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock," where in both instances, you know the beloved (albeit deceased) character's return is imminent, but that is what you paid the price of admission for.
"Phoenix: Endsong" fails to accomplish this task. Instead, Jean Grey's future is left again deliberately ambiguous, which, when you think about it, that's what it was before "Endsong" began. Further, yes, the final page clearly suggests a possible sequel, which hopefully won't see the light of day unless it becomes a vast improvement over this unnecessary retread.
Rating: 2/5. Mediocre and disappointing.
The Artwork:
Artist Greg Land's work is simply exquisite throughout the entire story. The best way I can describe his work is that Land goes for an unique style that resembles lush painting far more than it does comic book drawing. If "Phoenix: Endsong" has a redeeming feature, this is definitely it.
Rating: 5/5. A major plus!
Overall Summary:
Salvaged mostly by Greg Land's truly impressive artwork, "Phoenix: Endsong" is not by any means a complete disaster. However, the story's main thrust of resurrecting Jean Grey as Phoenix left much to be desired in terms of giving readers a satisfying resolution. In my assessment, if you pay good money and are patient for the ending you expect and want to receive, then why shouldn't you receive it? I guess only Marvel Comics knows the answer.
Overall Rating: 3/5. I really wished it would have been a 5/5.

Love, Need, Desire
By Madelyn Pryor
In this series, the Phoenix force is brutally jarred from slumber by Shi'ar determined to destroy it. Because of the brutal attack, the Phoenix is confused, scared, and lonely. Returning to the Xavier Institute in search of Scott, she finds that his heart now belongs to Emma Frost, the White Queen. Hurt by the rejection, both the Phoenix and Jean struggle for control of Jean's mind, body, and soul. Since the Phoenix can end all of creation, or easily destroy the Earth, the X-Men must battle their former teammate.
One of the great strengths of this story is the wonderful characterization. Wolverine's quiet declaration of " I may look tough, Jeannie, but I'm getting tired of killing you" or Cyclops' face covered in tears as he remembers the love he had for his former wife are small examples of the touching, yet powerful moments sprinkled generously throughout this story. It is also not without fast paced, bloody battles.
Another strength is the art! Greg Land's art is breathtaking. The painted, photo-realistic panels are a marvel. I found myself reading this through for the story, then going back to gaze at the art.
There are only two downsides. One- you can only reawaken the Phoenix so many times without it loosing a little meaning and Two- I thought the overall product would have been vastly improved had the last page not been included.
Overall, a very spectacular book which I highly recommend.

This one just didn't grab me
By C. Reeves
I tried to like this story. It was lacking.
The artwork was beautiful; the only way that it suffered was that the action sequences were not as elaborate as they usually are, because it looks like they used real people as the models for the faces and bodies, but then couldn't bend them into "heroic" poses that you expect to see in a comic book.
This book featured several characters created during Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men, such as the Stepford Cuckoos and Quentin Quire. I never enjoyed the "Riot at Xavier's" story, so that probably contributed to my dissatisfaction with this one. I also can't stand the relationship between Cyclops and Emma Frost. So sue me.
The main thread of the story is that the Shi'ar want to eradicate the Phoenix, and that she takes refuge in Jean Grey's dead body, in effect resurrecting her. All of the sudden, Phoenix realizes that she no longer has a husband to come back to because Cyclops has moved on. Someone on this site made the observation that if Jean Grey died in "Planet X" and accepted that Scott had chosen Emma over her, why wouldn't Phoenix already know this? I agree. Wholeheartedly.
The frames where Logan repeatedly stabs the Phoenix with his claws are heart-rending, particularly when you remember back to the scene from "Planet X" where he mercy-kills her before they burn up in the sun. Or in the "Dark Phoenix" story where he hesitates and can't kill her while she is partially controlled by Hank's neutralizer.
This story has a recycled feel. In the fourth installment, when Emma temporarily becomes the host for the Phoenix force, I felt like this was a plot device that would have been more interesting in previous stories, it feels like too little, too late here. Especially the history that Phoenix and Emma have together, when the Phoenix made Emma catatonic during their "Hellfire" days. The scene where Emma turns into her diamond form so Scott can look at her without his visor was also contrived, although it was prettily drawn. I have a hard time swallowing these two in love, since Cyclops has already cheated on not one, but two ex-wives, and Emma is shallow and hates his daughter. Hello? Not rooting for these two, not at all...
Rachel Grey should have had a bigger part in this story, and really should have been one of the team members to confront her resurrected mother. Shadowcat was excellent in this one; I love the frame when she promises Colossus that she will return, with her still grasping his hand and releasing it as she phases out of the Blackbird. Very poignant. Kitty's character and her hatred of Emma rival the current style of her character in Astonishing X-Men, which is Shadowcat at her best. Wisecracking abounds. (she also reminds me of Fred in "Angel.")
If you are an X-Men completist, then go ahead and buy this one used. I kept seeing shrink-wrapped copies of this book in my local Waldenbooks, but I noticed two unwrapped copies on the shelf that someone obviously returned. That tells you something, doesn't it?
