Just a bit of space for the Spoiler-conscious among you.
Quesada announced that Dark Phoenix is returning to the X-Men books to
commemorate the character's 25th anniversary in February 2005. The story
will be written by Greg Pak (soon to be writer of Warlock) with art by Greg
Land. There was no indication of whether this would be a miniseries or if
it would be in one of the main titles, but Emma Frost is definitely in it.

I'm not sure what to make of this, honestly. Marvel are certainly going
anniversary-happy of late. Where were they last year for the X-Men's 40th?
Anyway, I'm of the opinion that unless the story is absolutely killer, Dark
Phoenix should be left in the past. And I thought they said that Jean was
dead for the foreseeable future? In Marvel's favour, it could be Dark
Phoenix without Jean, similar to the character's appearance in X-Men/Teen
Titans. Despite all my reservations, though, I'm strangely looking forward
to this. Damn fanboy...
