I liked what Gerry Duggan did with Jean in X of Swords, though I do hope she gets to interact with teen Cable one more time in his book before it wraps up. If Duggan does takes over the the elected X-Men team with Jean on it, we may see some character development vs her going through the motions of whatever role the writer assigns her to move the story along. Duggan’s Uncanny X-Men was enjoyable because he wrote the book as an ensamble cast with every character having their own plot points and pay offs, even the guests as the came in and out. His Savage Avengers and less so Marauders has not done that because they have been more centered around Conan and the core HTC Kate/Emma/Shaw and Storm. I expect his X-Men series will be more of a traditional team book like UA.
I enjoy Hickman’s work and should be valued for what it’s offered to the franchise, but I feel he’s been holding Jean back for future plans. Some of his choices I don’t agree with 100%, and I had a lot of hope he could fix the mess Marvel made of the Phoenix Force situation to align with Morrison’s interpretation of an evolutionary cosmic force or Claremont’s Multiversal Guardian of the M’Kraan Crystal, but this run already reeks of editorial interference like some areas of his main Avengers book, which at times had great ideas that felt almost forgotten, abandoned, and rushed. The Echo Phoenix and Franklin Richards can interfere with the Dominion plot and Jean made just confuse to ride out i the background as wife and telepathic communications operator, without affirming her identity and regaining the level of agency she had in X-Men Red.

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.”
The coolest thing about King in Black was that she pretty much did things on her own. She led several heroes and even attacked the mind of God. I only hope to see half with duggan.
Too much to ask?
