8 Cancelled Marvel Legacy Series That The Fans Will Miss

Bowing out from the Legacy lineage via ‘Phoenix Resurrection’, Jean Grey’s own series, spearheaded by Dennis Hopeless and Victor Ibanez, has been a fairly confusing affair. This may be what has contributed to the series being axed. It essentially shows the classic Jean Grey possessing the current Jean Grey’s body..and being able to talk to her other self. Yeah, it’s been odd.

It's been a good kind of odd though, not the bad kind like Sophie Turner playing her in X-Men Apocalypse.

Jean Grey has always been a fan favourite, which justified having her own line of comics, yet it hasn't always been this way. After all, she started out as more or less the token female in the X-Men team. As time went on she got plenty more respect; and plenty more power.

Her story saw the young Marvel Girl emerging from a different time, only to learn that that reality's Jean Grey had been lost to the Phoenix Force. It then revolves around her (that's, Jean Grey and Marvel Girl in the same body) fighting a 'Psych War', including the likes of the White Queen (Emma Frost) and, you guessed it, that calamitous, flaming cosmic entity is any indication.

Much like a phoenix rising from the ashes (ha, get it?), Jean Grey’s cancellation does not spell the end to the world’s most powerful telepath. She’ll be appearing in the upcoming X-Men: Red, which shows that you really can’t keep Jean Grey down for long.
