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.
    "her year'= showing up on comics.. It's been a thing since 2018.

    Featz is nice sometimes, to see the character in full capacity is great.

    It's weird that jean doesn't has her own Story arc yet, being mom is not characterization

    I think Jean is not over on X-force, the fall out on Beast stuff will happen and she will probably get involved

    Yeah it's kind of been a thing since her Resurrection. Jean has really lacked a prominent story arc. I would love to have an issue or two focus on Jean's feelings about Krakoa, the amnesty, and the QC.

    I'm liking the realization that Jean is a mom -- it would be a lost opportunity on the writer's part if they fail to build upon the ready-made, genetic familial unit (Sorry Hope but your genetically a Spalding ) that literally spans reality, time and space.

    Jean did have a story arc in X-Force. Understanding that something like X-Force is needed, but doesn't suit her nature, was a plot/development. It aligns with her stance in X-Men, where she wants to be part of something more traditional.

    which is in character for her. I loved Percy's writing for her but it never made sense for her to be in X-Force and thats something most of us called out when the DOX books were announced. There was always an inner struggle there as X-Force's concept conflicts with many of Jean's core values and ultimately she had to be true to herself and leave bc of that.

    Yup. This has been Jean's arc in X-force. She recognizes why X-force is needed and the importance of the work but the work and what has to be done doesn't always sit well with her. She wants to do something more heroic... like being in the X-men. I loved Jean being on the Quiet Council and a member of X-force but now it is time to move on to the next thing..

    It was badly executed and not a arc at all. I don't even understand why she thought it was a good idea form a mutant CIA. Cia is basically torture and coups (I don't think it is needed at all). Of course she would end up getting out of it, if we stick to her characterization.

    I have re-read X-Men Red several times. Jean is so awesome in that book, and somehow every time I start to read it I get happy and hopeful when it comes to her future - even though I know the book was cancelled because Marvel had other plans for Jean. The things this version of Jean could have done if Red hadn’t been cancelled ...

    This almost reads as if he is planning to continue writing her in something other than X-Force.

    Could also mean that she is gone for now, but he has plans to bring her back in at some point.

    Could also mean of course, that she'll not actually be leaving the X-Force book for any time at all.

    I like Percy and it's cool to have a writer that is interested in Jean. That is such a rare thing, so I want to see him write her as much as possible.

    Get Percy to write it with Mike del Mundo, Stephanie Hans, or RB Silva on art.

    Jean wasn't the one that came up with the idea to create X-Force though, Charles was. He basically instructed her to be there to try and keep the people who actually were a part of it morally grounded, but she realized that doing so meant that she had to bastardize her own morals and ethics so she quit. I'm still convinced (and will be until it's contradicted on the page) that it was either Jean's idea to reform the X-Men or it was both hers and Scott's. Scott seemed content to continue his job as Captain Commander up til XoS while Jean was the one realizing that while X-Force did necessary work (when Beast wasn't being a supervillain) it wasn't what the people of Krakoa needed. Reforming the X-Men with this mission statement is SUCH a Jean move.

    X-men: Red was a good arc for Jean. It was too short, it should had played for some years. The writer really build it fast

    So Charles wanted Jean to be the moral ground, while leaving Beast do very amoral things.
    Well it was probably Scott idea, he was the one showing some discomfort since X-men #1. Jean seemed to get aong very well on Krakoa and QC. For some reason he still keeps the Captain Commander position and he shouldn't.
    Jean is also forgetting that X-force shouldn't be a immoral secret and Krakoa needs is a oerall reform, only the x-men is lost her time

    X-Men Red was indeed a very good arc to understand Jean at that moment of her life and see her reconnect with the world. And what a reconnection it was!
    I love how the series showed her natural empathy, how you could be kind without looking stupid, and seeng her as the leader I always thought she was filled my heart with joy.
    My only complain was about the costume, but that's my own horrible relationship with shoulderpads!

    Me too… X-Men Red showed a matured woman who was less in the seduction — a lot of time, she is just there as a beautiful plant  — and more in the responsability. Jean Grey had years of experience to give credibility to her and was really an actor in this run.

    In Dark Phoenix, she was a major player but without the kindness…
    “Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
