I was hoping they do a X-Factor forever with the original 5. Marvel must be listening lol

Afraid I'm going to have to pass on this one.

[color=seagreen:3444dc4a83]No, no, no. Take half a second to read the text.Jean is not "back from the dead" (not in the current continuity, anyway).It is clearly stated it is not so, see: "in the FOREVER tradition".Okay, it was not so clear, but this means the writers go back to a point when they left the book and write it as if they had stayed working on it (and with a lot more editorial ...

Jean Grey is back from the dead, how shocking, I mean that so RARELY happens
