Theoretically, the return of Jean Grey should be a huge deal. This is a character who's been dead for an eternity by comic book standards, and one who is beloved by X-Men fans the world over. Yet the greatest failing of Phoenix Resurrection is that it doesn't make her return feel like the momentous event it should be. It's simply one more underwhelming event comic in a franchise that seems to offer nothing but lately.
The best that can be said for issue #4 is that the X-Men are no longer wasting time traveling the globe and trying to solve a mystery to which readers already have the answer. Our heroes have finally figured out Jean is returning, and they've tracked her down to the deserts of New Mexico. But even with the endgame staring them in the face, the X-Men are annoyingly slow to get the ball rolling. Too much of this issue involves characters standing around an either cracking jokes and laying down exposition. Once again, I find myself wishing that Matthew Rosenberg had kept his cast trimmed down to a small handful of characters with close personal ties to Jean, rather than inserting basically every active X-Man into the mix.
