Jean Grey / Phoenix Appreciation 2021

[Phoenixx9]

Writers have stated multiple times the page rates at marvel at horrible.I don't know exactly but it's not good money

I have no idea. I would hope they do their craft for the love of it and would get paid appropriately. On the other hand, many people are underpaid for their hard work.

Yeah, onslaught can only explain behavior after ressurection.
They need to answer a lot, but I severly doubt they will.

That would be an interesting way of explaining things. But, also, yeah, I doubt they will, too.

One thing I never got was how Jean went from making her own nation thing w/ collaboration to "f*ck collaboration" so quick

I mean, Jean isn’t necessarily thinking in those terms. After all, she and the heroes were on good terms (Why Jean escapes the rep that Krakoa has with heroes, I’ve no clue) in the first X-Men issue. And we see her front and center during King in Black, whereas Xavier was ready to pull the plug. After the stand she took against the Council in X of Swords, I’m doubtful she would have abandoned collaborating with the heroes of it meant saving Scott and everyone on the planet.

As for why she would seclude herself in Krakoa,







This is the world Jean comes back to after Nate Grey just showed her a Utopia where mutants are free.

These are valid points to bring up. Do you, or anyone else, know the last issue she appeared in before Hickman came on board and shifted the paradigm?

Uncanny X-Men vol 5 #22. It literally ends on this note before we enter the Hickman era,

Chiiile… 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Based on how X-Men: Red ended, I’m tempted to say that I know Jean would have at least considered going solo.

::sigh:: I love this character so much that I would pay the equivalent of a phone bill per month just to have her in a permanent solo series, of course, as long as it was written and drawn well. Is it wrong of me to want to whisk Jean away from this f***ing franchise and, dare I say, Marvel, too?



Before anyone contorts themselves, I’m just having a fangirl moment. 😂

We mostly just need to get her away from the Cyke fanboys at Marvel. Lololol

I mean it, though. Excise her out of Marvel and put her in DC (I would love to see her thrown into the Justice League) or even Image (Grifter, help!), and she would still be just as fascinating and compelling…

Jean with Grifter was everything…

Jean makes a brief but impactful appearance in the Marvel Unlimited Infinity Comics exclusive It’s Jeff! #1 (2021):

And hanging out with Bobby Drake. I wish we saw that more.

I didn’t catch that! This makes this cameo even more perfect.

[Starchilde]

This is too cute. And Bobby has an ice-cream floatie haha fitting.

Of course! Jean is not going to get rid of all of her Phoenix accessories, lol!
