I just finished the issue and I must say that I am very proud of Jean's accomplishments. Even while filled with anger due to Hank's arrogance, she didn't hesitate to take charge and managed to save the day with strength, intelligence, and ingenuity. She put Beast in his place, cleaned up his mess, and got laid! If she truly is leaving X-force, then this was an extremely spectacular and respectful exit for her. I can't help but wonder where she will go though, since this was the only book where she has a prominent role. And she is still featured on the cover for issue 12, so does she return to duty by then or is that simply false advertisement?
I feel like jean demonstrated why it’s an asset to have her in this team. The situation could have gotten a lot worse if she allowed the Beast’s poor choices go on. I’m glad she took charge, recognize the problem, and resolve the situation right away. She didn’t linger like the beast and was quite decisive in how best to address the problem and get laid at the end. She definitely earned her seat on the quiet council.
I'm super biased but I think Jean should have been the executive officer of the mutant CIA and both Beast and Wolverine should have been managers that report to her. I think it would work so she would be the connection to the Quiet Council. This way she could still be the conscious as she would lead along with Beast and Logan.
I do think Jean will return to X-force unless they have other plans for her (either a new book or she becomes a regular along with Cyclops in the Hickman book). If her days on X-force or numbered at least they have been really well.
The scenes with Logan worked. I don't see Scott and Jean as married anymore - their deaths took care of that. Now Jean and Scott are free to be with whoever they choose which likely includes each other. We all win. Love wins! lol
As for X-force I want to see more Sage for sure. Sage's personality is a bit different under Percy but I love her. The whole issue was great for me. So enjoyable and worth the wait.
X of Swords will be 24 chapters and completely take over the X-line for 3 months. We dont know how significant her role will be but that will be the only place where she will show up barring any cameos inn the greater MU. She may not be on any initial covers but its unlikely that she will sit the entire event out and not appear in any of the 24 issues. Thats not realisitic
it was an elephant in the room to the point where their enemies used it against them

Jean should telepathically send an image to Creed in jail, just to piss him off more.
