Rating:
The issue opens with the Phoenix-powered Cyclops hovering over the improved Utopia Island where we see some X-Men enjoying time out from trouble. Scott Summers also takes time out to reflect on what's happened to him. Since the Phoenix Force made him telepathic (at the end of Avengers Vs X-Men #5) he can hear *everybody*'s thoughts and can't tune them out. So he teleports himself to the Moon ...

... to give himself space to think. He wonders how Jean Grey handled it so young before she died (in XM#137). The PF has made his memories of her much fresher and more painful. And now they've guided his feet to the Blue Area of the Moon where she died. He remembers himself and the X-Men fighting the Shi'ar Imperial Guard to save her. And then he comes across the very weapon his love used to commit suicide. But he can't feel anything.
To help him make sense of everything he uses his new powers to create a simulacrum of his dead love out of Moondust, and brings it to life. She compliments his new Phoenix-y costume, and on how well he's used the Phoenix power ... so far. She remembers that when the Force took *her* over it amplified her emotions. But it gave her a glimpse of infinity, which made everything else seem inconsequential. Scott counters that he on the other hand was always repressed, so he's the person best suited to rein the PF in. But Jean replies that losing control isn't the problem, losing perspective *is*. She thinks he was worried about losing emotional connection with his past so he came here to the site of the most traumatic moment of his life ... and feels nothing. He worries that he's losing his humanity. She responds that if he still had it would he have recreated her corpse out of dust.
He lets her crumble back to dust and flies away from the Moon. He now knows that he'll have to fight to stop the Phoenix changing him - to remember what he's fighting *for*.
