Jean Grey's Shocking Reunion in 'Phoenix' #11 Revealed
Jean Grey's sister Sara makes a miraculous return! The mystery behind her resurrection will be revealed in 'Phoenix' #12 by Stephanie Phillips and Roi Mercado this June.
Last month, a startling return was teased to be coming to the pages of PHOENIX (2024) this May. In PHOENIX (2024) #11 by writer Stephanie Phillips and new series artist Roi Mercado, Jean Grey will encounter a long-lost loved one—her older sister Sara Grey!
Traversing the stars at the peak of her cosmic power, Jean thought she was equipped to handle anything, but this heartfelt reunion will rattle her to her core and make her question her entire purpose as PHOENIX. A long-overlooked character who was the center of a dangling mystery in the X-Men mythos before her tragic death in the early '90s, Sara will share her unbelievable story in the following issue, PHOENIX (2024) #12, on sale in June.
THE SECRET ORIGIN OF SARA GREY!
Protecting the cosmos as Phoenix, Jean Grey has experienced near-limitless mystery and wonder – a universe of perpetual possibility! But nothing so magnificently unexpected as this: Her sister, Sara, has returned to life. Murdered by the Phalanx many years ago, another in a long line of Greys to lose their lives in untimely, violent ways, Sara nonetheless stands before Jean, alive and well. But – when?! Why?! How?! All of these are questions worth asking. And Jean Grey probably should. Needless to say… this would be a very different story if she did.

"Jean's story is often defined by resurrection, so it feels deeply personal to ask her to confront the return of someone she lost and never expected to see again,” Phillips shared. "This forces Jean to grapple with more than just the weight of the Phoenix... It's about the deeply human conflict between responsibility and longing. Can she balance the cosmic burden of what she is with the personal desire to reclaim what she lost?"
