Jean Grey back from the dead? ... Again?

From Entertainment Weekly:


To answer your questions: Yes, this is Jean Grey — as in, the Jean Grey who’s been absent from Marvel Comics ever since dying for a second time back in the mid-’00s. And yes, she is modeling her vintage blue-and-yellow X-Men outfit from her Marvel Girl days. Does this mean that the fan-favorite character is finally returning? We can only confirm that her presence in the Marvel Universe will not be imaginary. This will not be part of the Ultimate line-up. She will not be a zombie hologram, like Shard on X-Factor. What could this all mean? Check back tomorrow, when all the secrets will be revealed. (Or some of them, anyhow.)


"It's not hype when we say that AvX is the culmination of a lot of stories we've done over the last several years," said Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso in the article. "Characters are redeemed or not. Characters are changed. The X-Men and the Avengers are both repositioned for the future. What better time to shake things up?"

Thoughts? From someone who thought her 1986 return cheapened her death, I think this is just another sad gimmick. It should be interesting to see if Cyclops drops the White Queen as fast as he dropped Madelyne Prior...


1984 - Early Mike Zeck art

Found this in a magazine called Comics Feature - An Informal History of Comics. While the magazine is dated 1984, it seems like a reprint of late 1970s material. You can easily tell it can't be 1984 Mike Zeck art.
