Back in the Marvel universe now with 'All New X Men and the Guardians of the galaxy: The Trial of Jean Grey'. This in essence is just the retelling of the well known titular tale, but with some changes pertinent to the current X men narrative. That doesn't mean it's not got its merits or value. In this retelling Jean Grey (sometimes known as Phoenix/Dark Phoenix), along with other X men, has been plucked from a different reality/universe to ours and is unaware of the Phoenix or her actions in this universe. She's an innocent. When the Shi'ar empire finds out that the Phoenix force is back on Earth, they kidnap Jean and put her on trial for crimes 'she' never committed and knows nothing about. Though through the interrogation and trial process they awake a force in Jean that wasn't present before. In this retelling the all new X Men join forces with the Guardians of the galaxy, who have sworn to protect Earth (Earth being Peter Quill's (Starlord) home planet), to rescue Jean from the Shi'ar home world. It's a good tale, well told, well illustrated and well worth a read.
