Giant-Size Dark Phoenix Saga #1B (Marvel Comics 2025) Iván Talavera Variant

Giant-Size Dark Phoenix Saga #1B brings Kamala Khan and Jean Grey together in a 48-page, full-color Marvel story where time, mutant power, and Phoenix history collide. This 2025 issue features the distinctive Iván Talavera variant cover and is the second of five Giant-Size one-shots.

Kamala is battling an unstable, unleashed Legion across time when the history she knows begins to collapse before her eyes. Forced into the Phoenix fire, the new mutant must join Jean Grey during her darkest hour and learn to control her dangerous new power. The result is a cosmic, emotional story that turns familiar X-Men history upside down.

With Kamala Khan facing Legion, Jean Grey confronting her darkest hour, and the Phoenix legacy at the center of a fractured timeline, this issue is aimed at readers looking for consequential X-Men storytelling rather than a standard standalone adventure. The Giant-Size format also gives the issue room for both its main cosmic narrative and its revealing backup story.
