“Enter the Phoenix” follows the “Age of Khonshu”. It promises the return of the Phoenix force.
Marvel Studios in a press release stated:
“Then, gear up for the grand return of the cosmic chaos-bringer of life and death in Jason Aaron and Javier Garron’s ‘ENTER THE PHOENIX,’ on sale in December!”
Phoenix Force is returning to Earth. The Avengers are gearing up for the threat they are going to face shortly. They have already battled with the Phoenix Force in the past and had lost.
The teaser “Enter the Phoenix” reads:
“Keep an eye on Jason Aaron and Javier Garron’s latest Avengers epic, ‘The Age of Khonshu’ for startling revelations about Moon Knight amidst a thunderous clash with a disgruntled god bent on reshaping the world in his image!”
“Then, gear up for the grand return of the cosmic chaos-bringer of life and death in Jason Aaron and Javier Garron’s ‘Enter the Phoenix’ on sale in December!”
The story artists are Javier Garron and Ed McGuinness. The teaser and the story itself mark the comeback of McGuiness to the title. He and Garron together constituted the “Age of Khonshu”.
In Avengers vs X-Men, the Avengers faced the Phoenix Force where five men were saturated by the Phoenix power. Even in the current Avengers, the Phoenix played the role where a pre-historic host appeared who had some affair to complete with Thor’s father, Odin in 10,000 B.C. Avengers.
The Marvel’s extremely famous Phoenix host, Jean Grey had entirely ended her relationship with the Phoenix. This hints that X-Men might not appear as a part of the story “Age of Phoenix”.
However, Aaron once in an interview discussed the possibilities of the same. He said, “[Jonathan Hickman]’s plans are continuing to unfold, and as we all know Jonathan’s plans tend to stretch forward in terms of years, not just a few issues, years’ worth of storyline.”
“We’ve seen such a profound shift and change in terms of the X-Men’s place in the Marvel Universe, I think you have to know that change is gonna be reflected not just across all the X-books as we’ve seen, but it’s gonna bleed out into every corner of the Marvel Universe at some point or another.”
“The Age of Khonshu”
In the “Age of Khonshu“, Moon Knight and Khonshu together reshape the Marvel Universe. Moon Knight successfully steals the Avengers’ abilities and powers. He together with Khonshu imprisons Black Panther and steals the powers and weapons of Doctor Strange, Thor, Iron Fist, and Ghost Rider.
The Phoenix Force appears in December. So, Avengers #37 will be the end of the present “Age of Khonshu”. Since Avengers #37 belongs to October so there will be a gap between the Avengers#37 and “Enter the Phoenix”.
Javier Garron, Ed McGuinness, and Jason Aaron’s “Enter the Phoenix” will be live on sale in December this year.
