Marvel Masterworks #12
In "Like a Phoenix, from the Ashes!", the X-Men's shuttle crash-lands in Jamaica Bay, setting off a pivotal moment as Jean Grey emerges from the wreckage transformed. With Professor X sending most of the team to Scotland for recovery, the X-Men arrive at Banshee’s newly inherited castle—only to discover it’s already home to his cousin Tom and an unexpected guest: the Juggernaut. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Dave Cockrum, with inks by Frank Chiaramonte, colors by Andy Yanchus, and letters by John Costanza, the cover by Cockrum captures the moment’s intensity.
