Another page of Uncanny, the most Jean-focused one, from #3 by Cinar:
Even though I like Pere Perez's art style better, I like how Cinar draws the costume more. The shoulder pads look good here, while on the other page(the one where she's next to Psylocke) they're ugly and round like on the first Red cover by Charest lol.
After re-reading the scene with the two Jeans in Blue today, it makes me appreciate how far young Jean has come since she started. When she first came to the scene she was scared over her future (with good reason) and wanted to do everything she could to defy what she saw as a pre-determined fate, something very in-character for Jean.
But in addition to that not only did she not know or understand her older self, you could see that young Jean may have straight up hated her older self and was doing everything she could to distance herself from what she would eventually become.
But now, after everything she's experienced and actually getting to meet adult Jean, her attitude has changed. She actually enjoys being with her older self and wants to get to know her more. But sadly that can't happen as she has accepted that in this one case she needs to go back and let her destiny play out as it already has.
The interesting part is that this makes her sad in a different way. She feels her experiences have made her a very different person from classic Jean and by erasing this she's erasing herself so she can become a Jean who she just doesn't know that well. So even though this is necessary, she still feels like she's losing herself.
Another related bit is the Beasts discussing how everything needs to be undone for the 05 to go back, including Jean's powers. This probably for sure means adult Jean isn't going to develop teen Jean's psychic energy sponge ability.
Interesting that Bishop, Northstar and Laura are on Jean's team
So there's only one more page with Jean and Jeen. Glad I didn't buy that.
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"

It’s nice to see Jean interacting with all the x-men again. Guessing this is Jean’s team for this mission. What is going on with Maddrox.
First X-Lady
I am excited for Uncanny X-men. I love Jean interacting with Bishop, NorthStar, and others shown in the preview. I love that Jean is shown being aggressive with her tk powers. I love X-men Red and I am loving Taylor's writing but he portrays Jean as a little too passive (so far). I like Jean when she wants to act out her pacifist ideals but she just doesn't quite live up to it. I want to see a Jean who will do what must be done even if it challenges her beliefs or core values (think Prue Halliwell).
