Jean Grey is Coming

By MuadDiab 52 Comments

Surely anyone reading a prominent Marvel title has noticed a certain character popping up here and there lately. No? Well it's Jean Grey/Phoenix/Dark Phoenix. 
 
Here's some examples where I myself noticed (and I'm sure there's probably some I've missed) 
 

 Dark Phoenix is plucked from time and is used to end the world in this, but that's just this prologue issue :) And she's pretty prominent on the cover

 Her Age of Apocalypse version is currently fighting with X-Force as they now reside in that universe. She's a very prominent character in the story

 The final issue of Uncanny before the relaunch.Normally I would take a cover like this as a throw back to the original line-up, and on it's own it is, but with everything else going on.....

Anyone that's been reading the arc in X-Men will agree it's confusing but ultimately awesome. 2 stories are being told in this arc, one in the past when Jean was with the X-men originally

 So those are the ones I've seen. 
I think what's going on is Marvel wants to bring Jean back, and that they also have an idea as to how. However, the average comic fan would be against that. So what they are trying to do is get people interested in her character NOW, without resurrecting the poor girl, and are trying to create a situation where it seems like the fans asked for her to come back because there's such an interest. If 50% of fans wouldn't mind that happening then they will do it. Currently I'd say 5% actually do, and to bring her back at all will always be cheap.
 
But they just want to justify it to sell the comics. To me, this is the case anyway. It looks inevitable that she will return and with all the hype over at DC, which I predict will put them above Marvel for a time, Marvel need BIG stories.
 
Has anyone seen her anywhere else?
 
PS: I don't think she'll come back from AOA, I have better faith in Remender.
