Jean died for the same reason "One More Day" happened. An idiot chief editor didn't believe that characters like Peter and Scott should be married, and self-same editor didn't like redheads. If Queseda hadn't been around I think Jean would have come back in Endsong or earlier. Or she wouldn't have died to a stupid character like Xorn in the first place.

I am glad Jean is finally back and I hope she gets to show off how strong of a character she is in X-Force.

As for Emma, I don't know what to think, the solicits make it seem like she is only going to be in Marauders occasionally and that she is actually Storm and Kitty's enemy. Maybe they are trying to mislead us, and I honestly don't understand why Emma would go near Shaw with a 10 foot pole as I am pretty sure she would like nothing better than to cut Shaw's head off and stick it on a pike. If they are just going to portray Emma as a villain I would rather she leave the X-Men entirely and join the Avengers instead. Emma has been portrayed much more accurately in Infinity War and Jessica Jones then she has been on the X-Men so if other books understand her character better then that is where she belongs.
