Jean Grey: Flames of Fear by Louise Simonson
3.25
The art is pretty bad, and as Chris Byrne indicated recently in an introduction to a new collection, he has had a lot of students in the comic book university who are on the spectrum (it helps explain why a generation of cartoonists can't draw the human figure or cover that fact up by using infantilizing art styles for serious subject matter; worse, one set of costumes looked like bandages).
While this looks to be marketed as part of the abysmal Hellfire Gala series--it's mentioned several times in the text--it's actually closer to a sequel to the classic masterpiece, Days of Future Past. We should be very thankful for that, as it's not full of the posturing and virtue signaling about personal identity that has plagued the XMen titles for decades, and it took a classic artist from the 60s era to at least tell a somewhat interesting (but still blandly serviceable) tale of the XMen. It's fun to see both Scott and Logan possessed by the Phoenix Force, even if the story never reaches the heights of true diversity and punk rock--another form that has been wholly corrupt since the 90s--established in the original and 80s series, which was more about respect for other cultures and to counter the propagandist hate against Russia, Germany, and other truly oppressed groups by showing them as real people instead of monsters.
