I seriously don't understand the purpose for this (I mean, I do, but I don't think that the majority of fans want Jean back.), when did people start going crazy for Jean? It certainly wasn't when she was alive. And she's been dead for long enough to keep her that way. Morrison had a classic run. I hated Jean's death at the time, but it's stuck around long enough. It seems like the only story that people remember regarding Jean was The Dark Phoenix Saga (You know, the story where she DIED!). Another step backwards for the X-franchise.

Not really scientific, mind you, but...

A recent poll at CBR was asked, "Should Jean headline an Uncanny X-men relaunch?"

A whopping 85% of responders said YES!

Another poll at the same site asked (shortly before this news broke), "Which X-Characters would you want to be resurrected?"

Jean and Scott (33 and 27%, respectively) topped the list. A very distant 3rd place was Madrox (9%). Wolverine, Banshee, and any of the New X-Men kids were tied for 4th place (5%) (even if technically Banshee is alive).

City of Heroes is BACK!
