Loving the camaraderie and genuine warmth that just eXudes from the page, despite the somewhat murky atmosphere at play. Glad to see Rosenberg continues to lend his considerable gifts, to building up the Astonishing brand, so effectively. He's got a real good handle, on that certain je ne sais quoi, these particular characters possess when they're combined.
>This is depressing but the X-Men's lives have been horrific. I''m glad to see Rosenberg isn't shying away from that. Jean saying she shouldn't have come back is rough to hear. I genuinely hope they come out of this feeling better... and not via X's magic mind control.
>Jean keeps weaponizing things: truth, nostalgia. And so acid about Rachel again! The writers have been putting that in at every chance lately.
>As others have pointed out, there is no way this could have happened before X 'cured' Warren.
>Can't believe I'm actually calling Xavier 'X'. Ugh.

Scott loved Jean, Madelyne, and Emma. Jean was the one he loved the most.
I don't think adult Jean is being rude about Rachel, I think she's referring to her teenage self there. Which would make sense as she's avoided Rachel at any opportunity. But it's certainly a rub against Rachel regardless.
And yeah, there is no way possible (time travel included) that this reunion takes place in the midst of X being secretly possessed by Amahl and Proteus destroying things up. Rosenberg is mistaken, or once again this is what the X-editors call "doing their job".
I may have read it in the wrong way but the one who made that comment was bobby not jean, he is also serving the wine. I don't think it was Jean talking bad about Rachel or something like that.
I hope this guy's take on Jean isn't the default jesus christ.
Here we go with this "I wish I was dead" crap from the godawful, very slightly and very tangentially related to Jean mini-series.
Like...if you don't like a character, leave them for someone else to write.
