WIZARD WORLD CHICAGO: PHOENIX RETURNS
Just in time for her 25th anniversary, Phoenix will star in a mini-series that launches in February, Marvel Comics announced at its X-Men panel at Wizard World Chicago on Saturday.
"The return of the Phoenix again -- and I believe this will be the final time," Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada said.
The mini-series will be written by Greg Pak, who writes Marvel's new Warlock title, with art by recently exclusive Greg Land.
"Greg Pak is one of our best writer finds that you have not read anything from or about," Quesada said. "Greg has had a bunch of pitches at Marvel and full scripts of those stories that for one reason or another, nothing had to do with Greg, these stories have not appeared in print."
Quesada later added that Emma Frost will be in the mini-series. "And there will be sparks," he said.
Look for more notes and comments from the panel this week here in The Continuum.
