Jean Grey Burns Brighter Than Ever in New Solo Mini!

"More than anything, it felt like it was time — Jean coming into X-Men was largely precluded by the Phoenix series that was running when we launched, and even after that wrapped, I continued to hold off on it until the time seemed right. After all, adding the Phoenix to your team book throws off the balance in a pretty dramatic way. Now, post-DNX, we're going to see the X-Men in a position to need Jean Grey — and Jean Grey in a position to need the X-Men. Dovetailing that into this moment being one where Jean is in the public consciousness more than she has previously just worked."

"In terms of after-effects, you already know about one thing that'll be coming straight out of it: Jean Grey. And it'll have an impact on the launch of Maximum X-Men as well, though not to the point where you'll have to have read one to follow the other. The effects will also ripple out to some degree across the other books. But the biggest place it will hit is in Alaska and in Jed's slice of the pie, where it will be relatively seismic."
