To be fair, Lorna didn't stay on with the main team very long. I mean, pretty much as soon as she was introduced, she left again. Her and Alex stayed back when the main team went on adventures, and they only reunited in time for that final big mission against the Z'Nox. I guess it could be argued they had further adventures between then and Giant Sized since they were both Jean and Lorna were taken captive by Krakoa, but their on-panel relationship back in the day is verrry sparse.
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
Lorna never left the team until Claremont took over post-GSX. She didnt join in her first appearance. She became an official X-man after Alex was introduced and was with them for quite some time. The problem is the book was cancelled so her time as an X-man was primarily seen in Hidden Years, appearances the X-men did during that break and off panel.
They were shown as good friends after the X-men were presumed dead and both were on Muir Island pre-DPS. There wasnt a whole lot after that but their friendship was later acknwoledged in the 90s in an Unlimited issue featuring the two and the Summers brothers. Morrison acknowledged it. Austen acknowledged in his run when Lorna was brought back into the fold and Jean was her maid of honor at her wedding. Brubaker had Lorna lamenting about missing Jean after her death. She didnt have a signficant role but Lorna was one of the few allowed to express emotion in PR when Jean returned. She was visibly shaken up at the return of her friend. I wish more would be done but I think there's been enough evidence throughout the years to establish them as good friends even if it wasnt nearly enough
February solicitations don't seem very interesting regarding Jean.
This age of X-man at the moment feels meaningless, I hope i'm wrong.
Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
But their closeness was indicated in xmen 125, and didnt they fight in the muir Island d Saga? And inthink fir a short timevtigether wgen Hean had thise tentackes (i know, not a good time). They had interactions when Lorna went ‘mad” as well. In many wats Lorna has been out through the ringer more than many other mainstay characters.
Im not sure how i feel about all this reality warping stuff. Often there us just acreset at the end with no real lomgterm effects, but that may suit todays way of stiry telling anyway. Im pribsbky one of the few that dudnt dnjoy the original Age if Apocalypse. It was okay, bit insyead of being a lreal” eventbit just gets moved to a oarallel universe, another Earth. If it doesnt affecr mainstram universe krvour cgaracterks im nit reasky invested in the characters or story. They are just ober egged ‘what If” stiories.

Cyclops was SO DAMN RIGHT, BABY
Pull list: X-23, Mr. & Mrs. X, Extermination, Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider, Uncanny X-Men
Have been informed that the Black Swans are "only seeking female members, but thank you very much for your time"
Given that Rogue, Gambit and X-Force aren't in the Age of X, it's reasonable to assume that there will be other mutants that avoid being pulled into the Age of X. Emma Frost, Magik, Sunspot, Mystique, Banshee, Havok, Frenzy, Sunfire and the rest of Magnetos Brotherhood aren't in any of the splinter titles AFAIK, which means they're likely still in the prime reality and might be involved in Rosenbergs Uncanny in some capacity
Jean had some nice moments in today's issue of Uncanny X-men #2. She always finds a way to smile and become more endearing. It's a beautiful thing.

Its only issue #2 of UXM, and Jean is already asking for Bishop's help to deal with a dinosaur. Not liking this one bit.
