Im looking forward to 2021 being Jean's year
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.”
I love that Hickman isn't keeping Jean Earth bound. It's one of the things I liked about the Claremont era one issue the X-Men could be fighting some street-level villains in the next issue they're on some Intergalactic Planet fighting aliens.
So far Jean lives on the moon, battled the Brood on an alien planet, fought against against interdimensional beings on a dead space station orbiting earth, and now she's going on a space adventure with Cyclops and Storm.
I hope we get her guest staring in SWORD sometime this year.
Depends on how you define "her year".
If just going "CYKE!", "NATHAN!" and sucking at doing anything besides calling people on her mind-phone is something to look forward to, AND I THINK IT IS, 2021 will most likely be her year. To be honest, she's going to be supporting her husband's X-Men team and raising her kids, so what more could you want from a 20-something space-goddess superhero? All you Jean fans care about is FEATZ.
I hadnt even thought of that but I like it. Really looking forward to seeing how she gets to flex her muscles in the next story
Agreed. Im more excited for her future now than all of 2019 and 2020. She ended up in a good spot at the end of last year
"AIPT: X-Fan Phoenix from Virginia said it looks like Jean Grey left the intelligence side of X-Force. Will she still be a prominent player in the team? Or will she just be guesting here and there?
Ben: I love writing Jean, so stay tuned."
I'm excited that we'll be getting more of Percy's Jean. He's one of her better writers IMO. Though I don't suspect it'll be anything major. Like Havok said, I think it'll be more in Wolverine's solo so that we can see more of Jean and Logan's dynamic.
I know Cassara posted a sketch of Jean recently, but I still think that her role in X-Force is mostly over. Though I'd like her to be present for the end of whatever happens with Beast's storyline, and I wouldn't be surprised if she's present when the deal with Kid Omega.
but she's likely not going to. Lets be real; she's not going to lead X-men and X-Force and everything so far is building up to her spearheading X-men. They are meant to be the faces of Krakoa's mutants; its heroes. X-Force is a blackops force which is contradiction to that and operates under the jurisdiction of Xavier/QC. It doesnt make sense for her to give up her QC seat to start the X-men and go on to lead X-Force
