As Jean Grey lies dying, her life flashes before her eyes. Images appear, interlock with others, and form a tapestry of memories. She's been a leader among her fellow mutants. Now, she's just another victim of the massacre at the Hellfire Gala.
She wonders: How might things have gone differently? So Jean Grey searches for clues amid past events. She pours through them, looking for mistakes she made. If you're a rabid X-Men fan, you'll likely recognize many of the events featured in Jean Grey #1. If not, you'll be impressed by the strength of her resolve. Despite memories--or re-imaginings of past events--she nonetheless believes she could have prevented the tragedy.
But then, isn't an unshakeable belief in yourself a hallmark of a hero?
Jean Grey #1 is a powerful look at the weight she places upon her shoulders and the responsibility she feels for all mutants.
