>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.”
