The latest death of Jean Grey was among the 2023 Hellfire Gala’s many tragedies — or so it appeared. As revealed in the first issue of the Fall of X mini-series Jean Grey, the former Phoenix appears to be alive… somewhere. And if Jean Grey #1 is any indication, readers are in for a mind-bending adventure (literally — did you read that first issue? Jean bent a lot of minds!).
AIPT is proud to reveal an eXclusive first look at Jean Grey #2, on sale September 27, 2023.
But before we reveal those preview pages, remember that the mini-series’ writer, the legendary Louise Simonson, is returning to X-Men Monday to answer questions about Jean Grey #1 and what comes next for the first X-Woman. If you’d like to submit a question before the deadline of 5 PM EST on August 26, click here. And in case you missed it, here’s the two-part 2021 X-Men Monday interview with Louise and her equally legendary husband Walter: Part 1, Part 2.

Just as we saw what would have happened if the Original Five X-Men retained their memories from their time in the future, it appears we’re now going to see how Wolverine taking Jean’s place piloting that fateful shuttle flight back to Earth would have played out.
My hunch? Not well! But pick up Jean Grey #2 September 27, 2023 to see how it goes.
