The end of the Psych War miniseries will also serve as the end of the solo Jean Grey series from writer Dennis Hopeless and artists Alberto Jimenez Alburquerque and Victor Ibanez. After all, the adult Jean Grey has returned and currently leads X-Men: Red so there's really no need for the teenage version to stick around.
Besides, she hasn't exactly been the most popular or well-written character since Bendis' initial handling of the character. Outing Iceman as gay, reading Beast's mind to discover that he'd always had a secret crush on her, regularly taking over other people's minds and just a whole list of other mental transgressions made Jean Grey the least favorite member of the All-New X-Men.
With the Phoenix Force returning to Earth (yet again....), teenage Jean Grey presumptively assumed it was coming for her, only to be incinerated by the Phoenix's flames in issue #10 with only her skeleton remaining. The solo series wraps up in issue #11, revealing where the teen version of the character ended up after the ordeal.
