no sign of adult Jean using the pink form. it looks like sadly is already being forgotten

This is so annoying lol. Well, Happy New Year y'all. Hopefully this year will be as good for Jean as 2018 was, or even better.
Happy New Year to the marvelous Jean Grey and all her fans :).
Happy New Year y'all :)
Like a Phoenix, the thread is once again reborn.
Happy New Year everyone!
Happy new year!!!
Hope this year will be good to Jean
Happy new year! Here's to great Jean things this year.

Great way to start the new year and thread, first post is already pessimistic LOL.
I choose to believe adult Jean used the pink form in Extermination #5, or alternatively does not need to do so.
I just miss Jeen :( she was my first Jean. Since i started with the X-men she was the only Jean avalible and Adult Jean was something distant. I almost can't believe that Jeen is gone and the adult is back

I'm talking more about the "Adult Jean hasn't used the pink form yet so that means it's already being forgotten and we won't see it again" part.
Last year was a solid year for Jean, and I hope 2019 is just as good.

I honestly hope so too. If Taylor can't write Jean, then Brisson is a good second, Thompson and Nadler good thirds, and Rosenberg a decent fourth.
I'm really curious to see what's to come for Jean after Age of X-Man.

I think Brisson would be a great choice. With Larraz on art would make me super happy.

It’s still so early, I wouldn’t assume it’s been forgoften. I guarantee a writer will use it eventually.
I miss teen jean so much already. Ugh. That goodbye in extermination was so bittersweet.
Honestly if the current uncanny is representative of what’s to come I may dip out of comics for a while since teen jean left and she was my favorite. It’s been so mediocre for me so far but I’ll givd t a little more time.

Hi everyone, and happy new year!
It's beautiful to see your reactions to Young Jean because it mirrors mine as a kid back in 1981.
I'm french and I grew up reading Spécial Strange where every two months you could read 2 Uncanny X-Men and 1 Spider-Man Team-up with french covers!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]75755[/ATTACH]
[ATTACH=CONFIG]75756[/ATTACH]
This is the Jean I grew up with, beautiful isn't she?
I think the moment you discover a character defines the way you see him, you discovered Jean by Young Jean and I discovered her as Phoenix in the Byrne episodes and all the other Jean compare to her. I remember I disliked Jean in X-Factor first feeling her disminished (It took me a while to understand that Phoenix was very specific)!
Now we have the actual Jean, a newly resurrected Jean in a troubled world.
And X-Men Red was a great way to reintroduce her to us! I like this idea of a free Jean, free from the Phoenix, free from always having to restrein herself, and finally free to acknowledge her own power and place in the Marvel universe. It's been a loooong way!
I like that Jean Grey is taking a more pro-active part and I hope that Cyclops's resurrection doesn't make her take a backseat, I'm not even sure Jean and Scott should be on the same team! They're at a time where they both should define themselves individually (just like Cyclops was in Whedon's run), it doesn't mean their love shouldn't rekindle but I think we should see it be rebuild raher than offered us as a given.
I like how she used Cassandra Nova to make a statement in front of all the superheroes community. She used the manipulator Cassandra (I like how Taylor wrote her, so clever!) to show the Avengers that she could have killed her but chose another way, the healing way. And made the Avengers stand by the X-Men in front of the United Nations effectively officialy ending years of distrust and sometimes open warfare between the two teams. For her first story arc since her resurrection!
Of course she will eventually make mistakes, and she shouldn't be perfect, but I hope she will take the place of the major player she always should have been.
Does she have inside sources? We will see in a few weeks Grace.

She said this exactly few weeks ago. She has no sources. She's just guessing.
Why do people take her seriously anyway? She once said that Scott and Jean are overexposed in movies.

Love those Jean Phoenix images.

Well there was a new trailer a week or so ago (even though it had very little new footage) so she wasn’t wrong.

Well, thank you, Phenixx9, I've been coming on CBR for a few years, but tat's the first time I feel the need to talk about my love of comic books with others! great!
These covers are art by Jean Frisano from the late 70's- beginning 80's, He was doing covers for Marvel Magazines in France until his death in 1987!
Great covers, some are really Alex Rossesque!
Happy 2019 and here's hoping for a year of great Jean and X-Men comics. In today's Uncanny she didn't have too much to say but
[spoil]she did go toe-to-toe with Apocalypse and seemed to be holding her own, so that was something.[/spoil]

It's worth to buy uncanny for Jean?
I honestly dropped it after #4 because it was so boring and while Jean was leading, so much is happening that at least for what i have read Jean isn't being really important.

This would have been a good call back to the movie.

Welcome to CBR, I am French as well and seeing those "Special Strange" covers bring back so many memories!
Which issue ends this Nate storyline? I assume they are teleported to another world hence begins the Marvelous X-Men.

If the current Uncanny arc is actually about anybody it's the set of X-kids they picked for it. The adult X-Men are basically dropped in to do and say the things more or less on autopilot.
The only main X-Man who's had some actual development is Warren and...the less said about that the better.
Jean's first appearance of 2019 and she rolls out with a dud.
Jean punking Apocalypse with rocks in the background while Betsy does the important psychic work was kinda funny, tbh.
[QUOTE=perdid06;4110905]Welcome to CBR, I am French as well and seeing those "Special Strange" covers bring back so many memories![/QUOTE]
Yes, for me too! I have put 2 others in the Storm Thread!
I'm not fond of her new costume, though! too much shoulderpads for me, reminiscent of the 90's where Jean was too often seen as xavier's nanny!
I remember her sometimes having enough and showing sabertooth and poor Mellencamp what they could awaken but for the most part she was pretty bland!
Now she's at a moment where the writers can take her in new directions easily and I hope at one time to see her serving as an Avenger, it would do so much for Mutant recognition, much more than Alex or rogue!
