Although Beast tries to assure Jean that the Phoenix is no where near in sight, but Jean believes otherwise and decides her best course in finding the Phoenix is to use Cerebro. As she finds herself in communication with Colossus and the others, she locates Hope, who is undoubtly in trouble. Jean heads out to her rescue and so do the others.
I am a bit disappointed in Jean in this one. She acts more like a brat than a leader. I understand her concerns when it comes to the Phoenix entity. After all, her older self was consumed by the entity and has died multiple times. Still instead of focusing on the inevitable, she should focus on becoming stronger. Perhaps if she does become a bit more stronger her fight against the Phoenix may just work in her favor.
This is just the second issue and I am not saying it is bad. The character just has her moments. I am looking forward to seeing how this plays out and seeing the showdown between Jean and the Phoenix.

Ok, two titles are keeping Marvel in my good books. Despite my complaints about "oh look, more Phoenix" last issue, this is actually pretty damn good.

Convinced that she wasn’t seeing things, Jean visits Beast to find out if she really is losing the plot. Turns out she isn’t, as Cerebro connects her with previous hosts of the Phoenix. As a newcomer to the X-Men (comic) universe, basing my knowledge of The Phoenix on the animated series and the films, I’m not quite sure how that works…
We’re two comics in, and the story bops along nicely, even if we're introduced to some characters that I’ve no idea who they are.
I just hope #3 in the series won’t drop me in it as much as this one did.
