Who is reading the Avengers Vs. X-men Series? I hope everyone because this is the game changer for Marvel that we've been waiting for since the Scarlet Witch spoke those damned three words, "No.. More...Mutants!" and changed Earth 616, as we fans, loved and knew it. This series took place in the same year that "The Phoenix Endsong" happened in which we learned or rather, confirmed that Jean Grey is not just the avatar of the Phoenix Force but the physical manifestation of the force itself. In the Phoenix Endsong we saw the Phoenix as not just a force of life and death but an actual entity with thoughts and emotions and once bonded with Jean at the end, making them the White Phoenix of the Crown, Jean set off to the "White Hot Room" to collect her missing pieces of self (Phoenix shards). Throughout the series since then we've seen bits and pieces of Jean Grey in spirit/dialogue.
She stripped the Phoenix fragments from the diamond formed Stepford Cuckoos, drained the echo of the Phoenix from Korvus and her own daughter and Rachel (an avatar as well).
Now, we have Hope Summers who looks very much like a young Jean and was heralded to be the new avatar... but that subject has been talked about to the ground and discussed my many fans and gets no where. That's not the important part to me. The important part to me is that behind the entire Messiah Complex there was a story about the Red Queen (Madelyne Pryor) and her Sisterhood of Mutants, we got another glimpse of Jean Grey, helping Emma Frost escape her mind trap. Jean has been behind this current course of the timeline, stepping in whenever convenient to alter events to lead to where we are now. When the Phoenix Five have completed their work and placed evolution back on course then what?
What is Jean Grey preparing the world for? Why is the evolution of mutant kind so important? Will she be returning to usher in the new world order?
In my opinion, Jean WILL return and tie together all the loose ends that the X-men universe has had over the past few years, like: the appearing of the Dreaming Celestial, the child Apocalypse, etc. Ever since she became the White Crown she has been the mover of all the major events behind the X-men titles and it all began with one push... one push to make Scott Summers accept Emma Frost proposal to continue to teach at the Xavier Institute.
