Grant Morrison

The biggest Phoenix stories of the 21st century collected in one epic 1352-page omnibus. Grant Morrison's New X-Men delivers the devastating Here Comes Tomorrow arc, followed by the Phoenix: Endsong and Warsong limited series that explored the cosmic force's obsession with the Grey bloodline. The centerpiece is the complete Avengers vs. X-Men event, the seismic twelve-issue war that saw five X-Men possessed by the Phoenix Force and fundamentally changed the Marvel Universe. Then comes Dennis Hopeless' Jean Grey solo series, the Generations one-shot bridging past and present, and the triumphant Phoenix Resurrection that finally brought the real Jean Grey back to life. This omnibus tracks how Morrison, Jason Aaron and a generation of writers kept reinventing the Phoenix myth while honoring its emotional core.

New X-Men by Grant Morrison Omnibus is the point where modern mutant comics mutate again. Cassandra Nova, Genosha, the Xavier school as a real school, Quentin Quire, Weapon Plus, Fantomex and the post-human future all make the book feel like an X-Men manifesto rather than a status quo run. Frank Quitely gives the era its sterile, unsettling beauty, but Morrison's real move is turning evolution itself into the villain.
