OK, I'm just gonna start commenting on some of the things that have been posted so far, beginning with page 1.

First, White Nightwing, much thanx for posting the scans you acquired. I love the two bottom panels of each page, where we actually get to see Jean's blurry but still blindingly beautiful face. The following two lines were also favorites, and SO "Jean": "Emma. Are you familiar with the phrase "visions come to prepared spirits"?" & "Well then, little spirit. Prepare." Could of done without Em's "... maid w/the common breeding" remark tho, way too cheesy and eye-roll inducing for me. Did anyone notice the subtext in Jean's dialogue? Specifically, the "... let me fix you" and "... little spirit", is it me or is Jeannie displaying a sly, condescending wit? I like to think so, and if true, good for her!

I'm dying to find out what the "vision" that Jean granted Emma is. Was it the prophecy of Jean's inevitable return? Whatever it was, could it be the catalyst that leads Em into forming the "Dark"(< speaking of cheesy, lol) X-Men? This is a VERY interesting lil' plot thread that I can't wait to see unravel. Gotta admit, I do like Jean and Emma's hateful, competitive, yet begrudgingly respectful chemistry. Their rivalry is just so much fun! And I'm a bad lil' Phoenix fan, for I have not bought any copies of Uncanny #510 yet. With that said, was there anything more? What did Emma do immediately after witnessing the "vision"?

Ersatz, Havok83, and John C Loves Phoenix, your combined enthusiasm is contagious! Thank you. Long Live Jean Grey, your pessimism is not, also thankfully. Rekkanoryo, Phoenix86, and my coconspirator Fuuin Ekusu, I share in your excitement, one and all! Charybdis4 and Crescent, I knew you would both like, and I echo some of your concerns. Phoenix76xxx and DarkPhoenix2003, so glad you joined the rally, every member of the Collective should be rejoicing as you are, in the wake of this monumentous occasion. P76, I do disagree with you however on the revelation from Endsong, etc. of the Phoenix being able to host-jump into other bodies. I thought it proved once and for all that Jean, and ONLY Jean, can withstand the pressures of housing the Phoenix. It firmly established her as THE prime host and her entire being as its one true home, which makes perfect sense, right FE? Zed, I'm with you and Char, I don't believe ole Auntie Em will be getting the Phoenix either. On the off chance that it ever does happen, I vow here and now to disown everything Marvel from that point forward, and would never look back. If Marvel ever executed such a travesty, they would be DEAD to me!

Welcome Idontwannafixit, nice to make your aquaintence. Regarding Hope, I don't think she's Jean reincarnated, and never really have. I do believe though, that without a doubt, she's somehow connected to both Jean and the Phoenix. I also believe she's going to be playing a part in Jean's return, which'll most likely happen with the culmination of this Messiah arc... and that can't come soon enough. I mean, my God Fraction, stop milkin' it already! I'm kinda in tune with Kestra on this, the Messiah brat and all the other Jean-lites are probably just fragments or pieces of the real deal... at least that's what I hope they turn out to be. And Kestra, I absolutely love LOST also, and so does JCLP, as you can probably tell, lol. It's my second greatest pop culture obsession, right after Jean & the X-Men. Although that other recent J.J. Abrams brainchild, namely the Star Trek reboot, has caused my once mild interest in that franchise to explode into full-blown devotion. That is why I've been suggesting everywhere and anywhere, in the hopes of implementing subliminal messaging, that J.J. Abrams be allowed to do an X-Men film redux. I'm trying to start a movement, lol.

Perdid1, I totally agree with everything you expressed. I'm just so happy that after all this time, we Jean Grey/Phoenix fans have been vindicated, by Marvel themselves no less. Fansx123, congratulations on your 100th post! About the lock of Jean's hair Logan kept, I'm with most everybody else on this, Mad Maddie needed it to create a new body for herself. Not being an aficionado on Madelyne Pryor myself, I do have a question though. In any of her former appearances, was she ever able to manifest the Phoenix and its powers the way Jean can? If not, then that might change my thoughts as to the identity of Uncanny #511's cover girl. Thunderbird, I must say, you keep the faith alive like no other. You are the paradigm of a JG/P fan, and have become increasingly persuasive with your theories. One minor thing, Maddie can't get a genetic sample from her own original body, 'cause it was cremated as I understand it. I'm sure others more in-the-know have already pointed this out. Still, you raise many valid points as evidence, so I'm unsure at this point and feel as Yeswad does... that maybe Jean really is coming back this month. BTW T-bird, what's the release date for that Phoenix Rising trade again?

FE, about Maddie saying there were only two bodies that could ever contain her essence, what is the exact quote? I think she said one had been destroyed, which I took to mean her own original body that had been cremated. Did she ever reference the other body and it's current status, or did she say something along the lines of it being unavailable? Hello Vali, you should post more often if ya get the chance. WN(cool name BTW, he's one of my few faves from the DCU), I concur that Jean's return should likely be much more of an event. As convincing as T-bird is, I'm still very suspicious, most cautious, and extremely wary of #511's outcome. Once bitten, twice shy would be a vast understatement.

Well, I made it thru to the end of page 5, 6-current will be in a follow-up post. I wanna see what else there is to respond to here on the JG/P MB.

Well, not directly, at least, I think. Since I don't think she made any reference to its status beforehand, in any way. However, her immediate comment after she was asked where the second body was, was to refer to Scott and his tendency to interfere... unless, of course, he was already distracted elsewhere. So, I don't know if that is some obscure reference or that I'm reading too much into things, again (meh, probably the latter.... >> ).

So Cyclops is somehow responsible for her not being able to obtain the second body? WTF does that mean?! Now I'm really confused, dammit! Could she be referring to the events of Endsong, and blaming Scott for them? OMG, she better not be talking about Hope, the friggin' Messiah brat! 'Cause it was him that sent her to the future and out of her reach, right? Maddie startin' to irritate me, and I don't even know her, lol. She better get her s**t together, and pronto!!!

... but to me, there is no way of denying that Jean appeared in 510.

ozzie

Agreed! Just the way they stylized her dialogue lettering is more proof. It's the same way they did it in Endsong, and similar to how it's been done whenever Jean/Phoenix speaks. Her word balloons have always been specialized. I believe even the Ultimate titles do this.

Ersatz, it's too late and I'm too tired to respond to your post properly. But I will, ASAP! It's an interesting find. Peace everybody.
