Well, we've been expecting this all along, and here comes (back?) Jean
Grey, aka Marvel Girl, to grace our printed page again..

Actually, my only big beef with this story is the cover, which makes
poor Jean look like she is about 7 years old (a well developed 7 year old?--
anyway, the proportion is *way* off).  Jean *looks* much better than the 
last I had seen, and comes across as a very symapthetic character.  It makes
me wonder how Marvel is planning on handling the final of the Jean/Maddy/Scott
triangle.  They have all been portrayed as reasonable people, and someone
has to get hurt.

Byrne did an inspired piece of writing here, I hope it keeps up...


*******

Now for a contrary point of view:

This shouldn't have had to happen, anyway.  Jean Grey was never intended to
be done in as "Phoenix", and we all have you-know-who to blame for that.
Maybe he can handle the second chance (one he never should have gotten)
better...

I hope so...
