The first JEAN GREY ongoing is from Dennis Hopeless and Victor Ibanez

Teaser art by David Yardin


>Founding X-Man Jean Grey is getting her own ongoing series as part of 2017’s “ResurrXion” line, and according to series writer Dennis Hopeless “this has been a long time coming.” Hopeless and artist Victor Ibanez are setting the time-displaced young telepath on path to understand her connection to the Phoenix Force to fight the future that’s prescribed for her before it returns.

>“It’s a sort of trials of Hercules story. Jean gets a premonition of sorts. She’s told the Phoenix is back in play and that the Earth is doomed unless Jean Grey can step up,” Hopeless tells Newsarama. “Unfortunately, the Jean Grey we have is a wildly unprepared teenager. Our Jean needs to level up in a hurry. She needs to step into those huge shoes and become the full grown badass we all know she will eventually. So… she straps in and heads out to get some life experience.”

>Hopeless comes to Jean Grey having written the current All-New X-Men series, but knows the red-haired mutant well from doing the graphic novel X-Men: Season One. To prepare for this new series, the writer is reacquainting himself with her both classic stories and more recent developments.

>“I didn’t realize how much I missed her. Jean was the protagonist of my first paid work in X-Men: Season One and she’s the character I fell in love with on that project,” the writer admitted. “When people tell me they love that book, I know it’s because of Jean (and Jamie McKelvie). So for Jean Grey, I re-read a bunch of my favorite Jean Grey stories and all of the more recent stuff to make sure I still had her voice… But once I started scripting, she came back pretty quick. I like Jean’s brain. It’s fun to be back in there.”

>“The first thing I reread was Brian Michael Bendis’s All-New X-Men run… I’m obviously pretty familiar with it, but Teen Jean was born there and I want to make sure I have her,” Hopeless continued. “I love the Scott/Jean/Emma triangle from Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s New X-Men. I pulled that back out. Then a ton of Classic Claremont issues. I don’t clean my office very often so I was actually able to pull out my X-Men: Season One Jean notes (from five years ago) which helped a lot. I’ll keep reading stuff as we go to make sure we’re not leaving any cool on table.”

>Although Grey will be front-and-center in her solo title, her teammates from the upcoming X-Men: Blue will appear, as well as some more obscure choices inside and outside the X-sphere.

“Well, Jean is on X-Men: Blue, so her displaced teammates will be supporting cast members for sure,” Hopeless confirmed. “We also chose a premise that allows us to take advantage of the whole Marvel Universe. Jean will be bouncing all over the place, learning from and battling our favorite heroes and villains. Fans can expect lots of guest stars and crazy locales. And anyone who doesn’t think Boom Boom and Domino will make appearances hasn’t been paying attention.”

>And given Grey is preparing for the return of the Phoenix Force to Earth, other previous and storyline-future hosts of that cosmic entity could also factor into this ongoing title.

>“I have a post-it note on my laptop with this growing Phoenix list: Quentin Quire? Hope Summers? Rachel? Phoenix Five?” Hopeless said. “I’m not 100% sure who we’ll use or how exactly, but that’s definitely part of the plan.”

>There’s a responsibility to do something unique in Jean Grey’s first-ever ongoing series according to Hopeless, and it’s something he said he’s taking “very seriously.” But he’s being careful not to let the pressure sap out the life of the story.

>“Two words: Sales juggernaut,” Hopeless said. “No, I just want us to tell a fun, human story that taps into Jean’s brain and reminds the world how amazing she is. The beauty of solo books is that you really get to dig into a single character. There’s so much more space for character work. Team books are about juggling and plate spinning. Solos are about focus. If we do our job, fans will know and love Jean. That’s what I want.”

So RIP:
>all existing X-Men team titles started as part of ANAD Marvel

>Hopeless
Whelp.

What an accurate name.

> the phoenix is back in play and earth is doomed unless jean steps up

Isn't this what Hope is for? Isn't this why you had the big dumb event where at the end the Phoenix found a host?

Oh god what happened to her face.

Jean what have they done to you.

Containment book

If only.

Scott Summers died for this...

>hopeless
how did marvel know how I felt about the resurrexion?

Yeah, a Jean Grey ongoing was already iffy to me, but then I saw
>series writer Dennis Hopeless
and the rest of my interest completely disappeared.

Will Maddie Pryor be in this?

Reeeeeee

Another great announcement for X-Fans everywhere. ResurreXion is looking like an olive branch from editorial to the fans.

This males me happy only because the book is going to be shit Thanks to Hopeless and teen Jean is a shit character, they deserve each other

Nope. Hopeless is still writing Spider-Woman.
Also, Jean Grey is the leader of X-Men Blue.

>X-Fags actually thinking Marvel still cares about them
lmao I wonder how hard they'll drop the ball with Cable.

He can't write team books. Spider-Woman after Spider-Verse (and Land) is good. Maybe there is hope...

Should I just give up all hope for XCable being good now, guys?
Just Resurroion my shit up.

>Boom Boom and Domino
Fuck you, Hopeless. Fuck you up the ass with a rusty shovel.

>that one user who said the only books left were Weapon X and Cable and Hopeless might be tolerable on those
>he forgot about the Jean Grey book Hopeless is a terrible fit for

BWAHAHAHAHA

>what is cable and x-force
Let me help you, that is his only good book

>Kate Leth
>it's Cable book in name only, he'll never appear
>instead it'll be about Hope

Cable and x-force is mediocre. Fun, but mediocre. Spider-Woman is better

no, it will be a book about a literal cable

Is not like anyone in Sup Forums was going to read a Jean grey book anyway

An original transexual eskimo character will lead the series where he takes up the mantle of Cable.

They literally just did a musical chairs on the X-Books. Anyone got dibs on where Lemire is landing on? It's gonna be a fucking team book I bet.

>oh god, he's going to watch porn again

Only if you are one of Those Carol x Jessica shippers

>it's Cable book in name only, he'll never appear
>instead it'll be about Hope
I'd actually read a Hope book if it weren't written by somebody terrible.

Weapon X, if that's going to be team book.

>Hopeless
>Recycling the Pheonix Saga again

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

A Jean book that went way over the top could've been cool. Basically a one-man Ultimates ongoing.

not sure if serious

So its the Hope Summers/Phoenix Five recycled?

Will Jean fight the Avengers? The Avengers didnt apologized that they were rushing it and caused the Phoenix Five in the end?
Or was it Stark who kinda did.

But now its Ok because its young/phoenix unprepared Jean?

Im fine if its for the story, but status quos of powers are changed too quick now that made a story essential before.

So i guess this means lemires is going to be either doing cable or weapon x take you're bets.

i don't even know what to say, when will the ride end ?

if lamire is doing cable i would be actually hype for that

More like the phoenix five story but now its jean and there is no cyclops, so its good with the other superheroes?

When Marvel (and Disney) go bankrupt.

Depends. Are Old Man Logan and or Extraordinary even ending?

Was it hopeless that did the Inferno secret wars thing?
That sucked.

Extraordinary is def ending. There's literally nothing to separate it from the Gold book other than Kitty Pryde

Yeah, that was him.

Yep.

I bought the trade cause the concept sounded awesome. Colossus charging into hell to save his sister? Hell yeah.
And then I actually read it..

My condolences.

How can DC even compete?

most of x-fags already jumped the ship to Dc
well, at least I did

They can't, Jean solo ongoing is one of the most asked titles. DC literally can't compete.

So what everyone thought was true. Marvel just shat out some X-titles to save face and shoved their bottom tier writers and artists on it.

the question is: will it sell?

No.

I doubt it. Jean Grey twenty years ago? Weak maybe. Jeen in 2016? Fuck no.

Good

Not really, we ar still there, but we got picky.
And dont buy all that comes out.

I guess it started with all re-numbering and the flood od solo-series.

More like hope the X-Men sales compensate their other failed books.
But as far as i get it will only be the core books that will sell.

Probably as well as all the other crap they've been pushing.
So hovering around cancellation levels.

I really want marvel to fall on their face hard
It would be a poetic justice

>Not really, we ar still there
your loss. I guess that the last of you will have to turn off the lights at marvel offices

Yep, ditto. I feel insulted with Ressurrexxion.

MEHsurrexxion.

The best way to punish marvel is not supporting anything by it, until they have to ship all of their books for free to the retailers

>your loss. I guess that the last of you will have to turn off the lights at marvel offices
Maybe, i think we will make it with Spidey and Kamela fans.

>Team mentored by Magneto
>Written by Bunn

Even with Marvel's push on Tean Jean/Carrie lite there's no way she'll have more prominence than Bunn's boi.

The book itself could go either way. Hopeless is pretty horrible across the board, Cable & the X-force and his Inferno mini being exceptions. It's also funny since he's been on the O5, but specifically not writing Jean since she's on Extraordinary so there's not much frame of reference for how he'll write her.

Any attempt to try and present her as a budding heroine with admirable qualities goes down the gutter given that she's been a controlling, power abusing, self interested twat that bends her so called 'friends' to her will to serve her purposes.

>Mind raped Angel into becoming content with staying in the present, despite his genuine concerns they were fucking up the timestream and his worries about his own future since no-one would bother to tell him just how screwed up his life would become
>Forcibly outed Bobby from the closet, shot down any possibility of him being bisexual and then proceeded to do the same thing to present Bobby, inserting herself into what should have been a private moment between the two in the guise of 'support' for her friend
>Yanked Scott and Hank around toying with their feelings for her and never committing to either while still expecting complete attention and devotion so much so that Scott fucked off to go into space with his dad. Even after sticking with Beast they split up by the time Extraordinary started, citing that she just wanted to be an average college student.

All this shit and Marvel still presents her like pic related, where she's some saint who will mature into a major pillar of strength and support for all mutantkind. The hell out of here with that nonsense.

She's famous for being the Phoenix and the meat between a Scott and Logan sandwich, hardly the most heroic of characteristics. She's getting the Danvers push and it shows.

spidey probably, but kamala doesn't have as many fans as she used to it. she got overshadowed by gwenpool

Extraordinary is since look at the Gold team we don't know about Old Man Logan though the book does sell pretty well so I would think they would keep it around.

I think you're overestimating kamela fans and spideyfags though ya they'll be the ones to shut the light's off i mean if they can survive OMD, Clone saga and sins past there really nothing that can fully kill them. I should know i somehow did.

Crap didn't mean to put the 'and' there

>Hopeless
Is Jean going to get pregnant out of nowhere and adopt a monniker for her soon to be bf? Will she have a subtexted romance with magneto?

I dont meant that there are masses. But that these are the ones that will stay to the end.

Well at the very least he's stuck in that shitty book about a shitty character I will never care about apart from celebrating her death.

>Emmaposter
>supporting Marlel
>in Jeen thread
Shills are evolving.

And what I meant is that Gwenpool is the new flavor of the month and her popularity is really dwindling, in terms of devotion

But they are loyal. Thats what i refer to. Not that there are masses of them (us).

So what's left?
Soule taking Weapon X for Wolverines 2 - Electric Boogaloo
and
Lemire on Cable? Maybe we'll get Duggan, but I doubt it.

So all-in-all it looks like we're in for another year of Bunn being the one-eyed among the blind and another year of terrible and forgettable X-books.

>Oh no, the phoenix is coming!

Oh, who gives a shit. As long as it isn't bringing that monster Scott Summers with it. That awful mutant Terrorist!

>Rogue, Wanda, and Magneto are dropping in for tea.

Excellent!

>ongoing for a character no one wants one for, written by an author no one wants to read

I wonder how this will turn out.

Marvel is really bad with the pandering, they're shit when pandering to SJWs and they're shit when pandering to Xfags, how hard can it be to successively pander to a group for fuck's sake?

If history is any indication? 8 issues and an unexpected EoE style ending where the characters sit in a chair and pretend to be deep.

Hey, i like Jean, but not O5 Jean.

And if you read what i wrote, i`m not very positive on Resx, just only hoping that it will kickstart something in Marvel that they change in the future.

Sure, they kinda do the Deadpool route, which isnt working for her, she doesnt have a movie or a game. She feels like a new tad, copying the Deadpool treatment but fails.

It's not that pandering doesn't work, it's just that they mistake giving people shit with giving people actual human shit.

No surprise then, as one works a whole lot better than the other.

What I'm trying to say is that if they actually wanted to successively pander to X-fags they would have announced good books with decent to good creative teams instead of this poor shit. It's like they take one step before falling and breaking their nose.

It feels like

>We kinda know what we should do
>But we dont want to backpaddle

But still its cheap.

I feel like I'm the only person on /co that likes Hopeless, so I'm okay with him being the writing and with Ibanez on art it sounds like a must buy to me.

Maybe like the Magneto, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Iceman vol.1, Emma, Mystique. It will just be a mini series. Maybe try to run 12-24 issues but if it starts good, after creative team change or first story ark getting worse

>I'm buying it for the art!
When will this meme end?

Was there anyone that was actually looking forward to this in the first place?

Jeanfags, of course.

Bryan Michael Bendis

If they actually wanted to pander, they wouldn't have announced a teen Jean ongoing, a gay Iceman ongoing, a team about the exact worst teen characters in existance right now and yet another fucking time-displaced O5 book.
It's just more of the same shit X-fans are already sick off, no matter who's writing.
The fact that the writers then ALSO suck is just the icing on the cake.

This has been the worst weeks ever for us X-Fags, culminating with Saturdays MVC4 announcement. One gut punch after another.

Jesus Christ, they just renamed ANX and EXM and baited us with Jim Lee era titles, Gen X and Iceman are done by amateurs. I feel zero hype for Jean Grey, X-Men Season One was one of the dullest O5 X-Men stories ever.

Marvel is purposely setting up the X-Men to fail again and it sucks, they're glad to take our money every week but they wont even attempt to give us a decent product in return.

So this is just going to be yet another Phoenix story? Does Jean have any stories centered around her that don't involve Phoenix or men trying to get in her pants?

At least they killed Cyclops, stories can grow and develop now when editors aren't pushing him.

>Hopeless

Was there ever a writer more accurately named?

Nope, the only good x-men mini/solo series was Rouge and Storm Vol.1.
X-characters dont work well as solos.

Also Miller Claremont Wolverine.

>Jean Grey is the leader of X-Men Blue.

How can Scott Summers be on a team and not lead it? How would that even work?

What part of me calling this book human shit, like the iind that comes out of a human ass, did you miss?

People Are asking for shit, but not for actual literal shit.
