Jean Grey #3 further touches on a sense of inevitability about Jean and the Phoenix, though I also feel like it is opening doors for her to explore a different way of approaching her situation. The creative team adds a different kind of spark on every level and each artistic choice has a corresponding note in its narrative, from hulking monsters and firey panels to vital character interactions. I want to see what happens for Jean, and after this issue I am all the more curious. Read Full Review
If you didn't like the Jean Grey of old, there is no reason to harbor those same convictions with teen Jean. Hopeless takes cue from her already independent persona and capitalizes on her certain independence, strength, and unyielding spirit. Read Full Review
It's not quite as good as the previous issue, but few things are, and it brilliantly sets up a range of storytelling possibilities for the future. Read Full Review
There's a clear formula to this series " Jean teams up with a guest star, learns from them, and in turn learns something about herself"but that sense of expectation in no way diminishes the series' overall entertainment value. Read Full Review
Jean Grey #3 was a fun comic. It improves upon the last issue and promises a good series ahead. Check this one out its a very enjoyable read. Read Full Review
Hypothetically, fights under the sea are more appealing than pure conversation, but in reality, it's disappointing to see Jean's inner monologue start to fade, even if it's replaced by sea monsters taking up the page. Read Full Review
Perhaps my favourite series currently running!
The series keeps getting better. It looks like this will be like a Jean Grey Team-Up, and I like it. The art was awesome!
A cool number 3 for this series
Develop situations and establish in a correct way what will be the future of the series
It's worth reading
Alongside a giant sea-monster fight, Namor offers Jean a rock-solid idea about standing up to the Phoenix. The entire issue is constructed as a frame around the sharing of that tremendously simple idea. The frame is equal parts awesome fight and snarky conversation, and both aspects work extremely well. The characterization of both Jean and Namor is superb, and the art team goes all-out in giving this underwater caper a distinctive and attractive look.
