"If you’re an X-Fan or you enjoyed Endsong this looks like it’s going to be a stellar follow-up."

Four stars from ComixFan.com for "X-Men: Phoenix - Warsong" #1
"The good news about this book is that Greg Pak returns to weave his latest Phoenix tale. Pak’s writing on X-Men Phoenix: Endsong and now X-men Phoenix: Warsong really impresses me. There is not a lot of superfluous wording in his stories, and his characterizations of the big name X-Men are spot on. Large ensemble casts can be difficult when you have to juggle several different personalities. Pak shows us again that he can deftly handle large casts without hindering the story and not cheating any of the characters."

Newsarama's Best Shots on "X-Men: Phoenix - Warsong" #1
"Greg Pak is definitely out to take us on an even wilder ride than the last time here.... If you read Phoenix: Endsong and enjoyed it, then based on this first issue, you'll be along for a good jaunt back in the insanity that is the Phoenix' world."

More reviews of "X-Men: Phoenix - Warsong" #1
"As with the first series, Pak has taken a rather simple Phoenix story and used it as a springboard for some interesting character material. And that's the skill with this sort of thing."
-- Paul O'Brien, X-Axis>
"... some nice character moments that once again makes me want to see what Pak could do with a regular X-Book."
-- Peter Dimitriadis, Unreachable Star
Silver Bullet Comics loves "X-Men: Phoenix - Warsong" #1
"We all knew it was only a matter of time before the Phoenix rose once again from the ashes, but I have to admit I didn’t see the way it would coming. This first issue is expertly executed with just enough tease and suspense to hook you, especially with the last page.
...
The writing captures the various personalities of the X-Men, and for really the first time, or one of the few times, Greg Pak really differentiates between the remaining Cuckoos, giving them each a distinctive personality, and he pulls this off with very little dialogue. Also, the voice inside their heads and the significant statement it makes is both eerie and exciting."

UGO.com digs "X-Men: Phoenix - Endsong"
"When it comes to the emotional quagmire that is the Cyclops-Emma-Jean-Wolverine entanglement, Pak understands the characters, treating them as complex, believable figures. Even in scenes where the characters analyze themselves, Pak pulls off a naturalism, while also maintaining a certain lightness and wit that keeps it from being turgid or pretentious. And his take on the roots of the Cyclops-Emma relationship is intriguing."
-- D.K. Latta, UGO.com
