I appreciate you agreeing about Jean flying solo. ::teary-, twinkly-eyed smiling emoji:: Also, I agree about Mackay. I've loved every bit of the few times he's written her. He nails her voice.


...

Agreed! I have a feeling we're going to get a wealth of narrative boxes in Phoenix, especially since she's flying solo. Frankly, is something I'm very much looking forward to. I hope Phillips delves...

I just read Gail's FCBD Uncanny X-Men story. It was sublime. I also want to share some random thoughts:

First, Jean's positioning in the new era. Some people have speculated that she'll be out in...

I’ll say what I said to Gail on Twitter:

‘I’m here, I’m there, I’m everywhere!’ 🔥

My signature has never rung more true…🤌🏻

"Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.) … Failing to...

Jean has all psionic abilities, both known and unknown.

When you think of Jean Grey, always remember these statements. They aren’t hyperbolic. The first statement was made by biogenetic-sensor...

Marvel is starting Phoenix’s promo…

Great references. My favorite is the earliest Claremont interview I could find regarding Phoenix in The Comics Journal #50 (1979), which was published before the Dark Phoenix Saga:

Phoenix pre-order season begins NOW. Showing love and support for Red and her new ongoing series by signing up for Marvel's 12-issue, early-subscriber discount offer of $30.64, which includes free...

Even when her higher self—i.e., Phoenix—doesn't cooperate, Jean is able to gain control unlike any other imbued with her abilities.

It's also a tip of the hat to Jean saying to Ororo twice, "[I am] the only me that ever was." Connor Goldsmith of Cerebrocast articulates it perfectly:

This page...the dialogue. :chef's kiss:

"But I AM."

Four pages that took me through every shade of emotion, with these words echoing over a cosmic pulse: “Nowandforever,” “Good luck, Mom,” “Contact,” “Jean’s [fire],” “I don't know what I am now,” “But...

And her daughter knows. 🥹

Dead X-Men #4, though... Can you say transcendent of temporal constraints...?

I love how it highlights the individual design elements and the potential of the new suit under different artists' hands by slightly deconstructing it.

Posted this in Jean's thread, but thought I'd post it here too:

With what little time I have between work and school, I've been slowly continuing my read-through of Phillips' work. As I noted...

With what little time I have between work and school, I've been slowly continuing my read-through of Phillips' work. As I noted before, I quite liked Cosmic Ghost Rider, and I'm really digging Grim;...

I disagree. However, I don't think we've seen the new suit in action enough to really reach a consensus. I think Rose Besch's rendition of it deconstructs it just enough so that we can see what...

All of this.

I have to say: The new Phoenix suit works for me, but it's certainly not as artist-friendly (neither is Dauterman's suit, tbh) as the original. However, I like the new version's haute couture vibes....

This one is breathtaking. The new suit looks FABULOUS here:
