Jean Grey is well acquainted with death. One of the founders of the original X-Men team and an Omega-level telepath, Jean has cheated death on multiple occasions. She has a long, storied history and is pivotal to the overall arc of X-Men comics. When a seismic shift in the world of mutantkind occurs, more likely than not, Jean Grey is going to be nearby. After the disastrous events of the Hellfire Gala, Jean is once more knocking on death’s door. Jean Grey #1, written by Louise Simonson with art by Bernard Chang, colors by Marcelo Maiolo, letters by VC’s Ariana Maher, and design by Jay Bowen, follows the telepath as she fights to save herself by pinpointing where things went wrong.This year’s Hellfire Gala isn’t required reading as a prerequisite for this series, but it is highly encouraged. This issue picks up in Jean’s mind, presumably somewhere between life and death after being stabbed with a dagger coated in Blightswill at the Hellfire Gala. From here, the series becomes a “What if?” story. Jean determines that to save herself — and, by extension, the rest of Krakoa — she must sift through her past and find the right choice to make differently. It’s an interesting choice on Jean’s part and sets the series up with a solid premise.Louise Simonson is no stranger to X-Men comics and makes an emphatic return with this issue. When it comes to power scaling, Jean Grey breaks the scale. This immense level of power — when utilized properly — can create incredible storytelling moments. Here, it allows Simonson to craft a story tailor-made to explore Jean’s character to her fullest. Jean can force her way through almost anything, but that attitude has consequences. This issue showcases the triumph and tragedy someone like Jean faces and how she decides to act in response.RELATED: Professor X is Guarding Krakoa’s Salvation – And Doesn’t Know It
