Phoenix Resurrection may have been a disappointment, but that miniseries made at least one inspired choice during the process of bringing back Jean Grey. The series culminated with Jean bidding farewell to the Phoenix Force and embracing a new, uncertain future where her life and destiny are finally her own again. That gives writer Tom Taylor and artist Mahmud Asrar a giant blank canvas on which to work in X-Men Red, and this team shows every sign of taking advantage of the opportunity before them.
While ostensibly a companion to fellow flagship titles X-Men Gold and X-Men Blue, X-Men Red does a perfectly fine job of standing on its own and carving its own niche. Jean has her own team (most of whom have been notably absent in other ensemble X-Men books lately) and a mission that sets her well apart from current headmaster Kitty Pryde. If Kitty's X-Men are about fighting the familiar battles and maintaining a school, Jean's team has grander ambitions in mind. That status quo also plays nicely with the fact that Jean has been out of commission for so long and doesn't quite recognize the fearful, agitated world she's awoken into.
