AIPT Comics announced this morning that Jean Grey is getting her own comic series by Writer Jed McKay and Artist Rogê Antônio. Now this new series is coming off the heels of DMX, and the end of that series will have Jean racing back to Earth, and she will find that the X-Men have drastically changed.
The book’s description reads:
“BURNING ON RE-ENTRY IN THE AFTERMATH OF DNX!
The Phoenix is headed to Earth. Jean Grey is aflame within. When she touches down, will she consume all she touches…or will she maintain control of the life-giving, life-taking power coursing through her?”
Writer Jed McKay had this to say about the new series:
“More than anything, it felt like it was time—Jean coming into X-Men was largely precluded by the Phoenix series that was running when we launched, and even after that wrapped, I continued to hold off on it until the time seemed right. After all, adding the Phoenix to your team book throws off the balance in a pretty dramatic way. Now, post-DNX, we’re going to see the X-Men in a position to need Jean Grey—and Jean Grey in a position to need the X-Men. Dovetailing that into this moment being one where Jean is in the public consciousness more than she has previously just worked.”
Meanwhile, X-Men Editor Tom Brevoort shared this about the impact of DMX:
“In terms of after-effects, you already know about one thing that’ll be coming straight out of it: Jean Grey. And it’ll have an impact on the launch of Maximum X-Men as well, though not to the point where you’ll have to have read one to follow the other. The effects will also ripple out to some degree across the other books. But the biggest place it will hit is in Alaska and in Jed’s slice of the pie, where it will be relatively seismic.”
Jean Grey #1 releases November 25th.
