COMICS: Psych War Concludes With Marvel Girl Trapped In Hell/Limbo In JEAN GREY #11's Series Finale

The time-displaced, younger X-Men obviously needs to make room for the recently resurrected adult version so it seems Marvel editorial has decided to place the teenage Jean Grey in Hell/Limbo with Magik.

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.

Miles no longer calling himself Spider-Man. The systematic removal of the teenage X-Men. Somone at Marvel seems bent on doing away with a lot of Bendis' toys.

Ok, can someone explain how and why the original 5 teen team (Scott, Jean, Hank, Bobby and Warren) of the X-men are still doing in the present? Won't all of the issues they faced here affect their past once they go back to it?

@TheLight - they are also from a alternate reality. So it is time displacement and dimensional displacement.

@ComicsFreshman - Appreciate the explanation.

@TheLight - Seriously send them back. The time travel and alternate realities stuffhave become so cliche.

Either have Jean stay alive or dead for good. If you keep bringing a character back from the dead, it loses all meaning.

@MultiMedia996 - Isn't that what can be said for any individual superhero? Or comics in general? Not saying it should be acceptable, just saying it isn't exclusive.

@Origame - I probably should have said that in the original comment. It's something that applies to all fiction. If a death is going to be mean something, it needs to be permanent.

@MultiMedia996 - I think it works better for Jean because of the whole Phoenix thing. Also she's really only died twice. Technically 3, but that was for literally one issue.

Marvel comics have been all over the place...trying to catch-up on the X-men but so many titles...just too confusing...

This storyline was handled very poorly, the Jean Grey title never felt like a "Road to the Return of (adult) Jean Grey" but just shit ton of one-shots where she meets different Marvel characters.
And then when the main event starts, the young version "dies" and NOBODY is talking about her.
Not in blue and not even in Phoenix Resurrection.
And damn, i was waiting for this book for yeeears, i was hyped as f*ck, and yet...Rosenberg just sucks, this was a boring ass story, still gotta read how it ends (next week) but yeah, it was a big let down.
Just like Death of Wolverine, Death of X, IvX.
This is the last time i'm getting excited for any Marvel Comics project.

@Doomsday8888 - I agree. I love the Moon Knight book, and that’s about it. Events.....not so much.

Thank god they didn't just outright make her disappear. I know it's her background to be deaths bitch, but it still irritates me that they use Jean as a throw away character and then recycled when they need her. It's not like there aren't at least two versions of Beast, Iceman, and Angel rolling around still, but you aren't killing any of them. They might as well keep her around and then send her back with the others since that's what they are planning to do anyway. Will be sad to see Cyclops go from Champions tho.

Should have kept her incinerated, the originals was a good concept at the beginning, but only the beginning....

"Psych" Wars? As in Psychological? Shouldn't it be "Psi Wars" or "Psy Wars" as in Psychic?
Or is it intended to mean "You thought she was dead? Ha! Psych!"?

Also, when the young Jean says "That was the other Jean", she's wrong. The real Jean was in stasis at the bottom of the Jamaica Bay River, when Dark Phoenix was out destroying entire star systems.

The best time displacement character has been Rachel Summers. Then they made her part of Excalibur and wasted her potential. I haven't read much that she's been in since.

She should have played a larger and more interesting role. Claremont squandered her.

The new teen Jean Grey is really a hollow copy of Rachel.
