Jean Grey #9 Review + Spoilers

[ariwl1]

Covers: Jean Grey #10
Notably no Emma or ghost Jean


And Jean Grey #11
Literally EVERYONE but ghost Jean. Hmmm...

[Fantasy Free Me]

Really good issue.

I liked that old Jean pretty much opened to Emma about everything she was planning and at the end of the day she was simply concerned about Jeen and trying to prepare her. I also liked the interchanges between the two of them, and when it came to Emma's memory of Scott it got a little sad, because well... Scott's dead, Jean knew Emma truly loved him and I'm pretty sure she knows he's dead so that "Right..." from her at the end, in addition to her sad expression... I don't know, it was a cute bittersweet moment I guess.

I miss cuckoos and cyke

I think they are going to separate the force from everyone and make it just a force again. No one can understand or control it, off to space it goes.

Or become its own person ala ten thousand B.C. and be a couple with Thor.

There's literally no proof of that. The preview issue of X-Men: Red does show Jean with cosmic energy around her, so it still seems she's using Phoenix powers. Plus Phoenix: Resurrection is clearly referring to Jean's resurrection.

Dude, somebody already told you that was a cover not interior art lol.

But I do hope Jean gets to keep the Phoenix.

If you were truly a Jean fan you wouldn't wish that on her

It's only bad when they have it do random nonsense unrelated to Jean or take it from her to prop up other corny characters that have nothing to do with it.

which quite honestly is the ONLY thing they ever do with it...Jean is perfectly fine and fully capable without the stupid cosmic chicken.

Anyone else find it odd that Hopeless had a spot on perfect Emma voice, but the Teen Jean has been off the entire series?

Most of Jean's fans here actually want her as Phoenix.

Exactly.

Then that makes you Phoenix fans NOT Jean fans

[Disciple of Redd]

Jean is stuck with an albatross or two that they won't let her get away from, but the Phoenix isn't one of them.

Yes, Jean is still great without it, but the Phoenix is the character's responsibility, her cross to bear. Removing that so that they can give it to Cyclops or whoever Cyclops' next girlfriend is or Thanos or Jason Aaron's latest OC or whatever other garbage is a mistake narratively and in terms of the mythos. It's the same unskilled dilution that has resulted in 42 Spideys, 82 Wolverines, the 20 Hulks, etc. All of which adds nothing (other than X-23) that anyone cares about on a longterm basis.

The Phoenix should be re-tied to Jean and left alone, speaking as a real Jean fan and a real X-Men fan. The Phoenix shouldn't even exist separately.

"Yor nightmare...was my love story" love that line. A simple summary of Jean and Emma.

Imho, Hopeless got Ghost Jean's voice right too. And his Season One Jean was allright too. He said that it's on purpose that she doesn't sound like adult Jean because she isn't that person yet. The problem is that he over did it, especialy compared to Bendis, Lemire and Bunn.
