X-Men 138: Jean Grey: Worm Food

WHAT WE LEARNED THIS ISSUE:

JEAN GREY: DEADER THAN GARY COLEMAN

CYCLOPS FUCKIN QUIT

KITTY PRYDE FUCKIN JOINED

LILANDRA GAVE JEAN GREY'S PARENTS A SNOW GLOBE TO SAY THEY'RE SORRY

no fuckin recap this time!

that's because this issue is a recap of every other X-Men comic up until now, all in under 22 pages. Which would be awesome if this was your first X-men comic ever, but since we're seasoned X-Vets by now, we can skip all that shit.

Instead, I'd like to sum up a brief time line of Scott and Jean's life together, from the pages of X-Men 94-137 that I just re-skimmed.

After sixty some issues of silver age angst and absolutely no bonage, action is picked up in Giant Size X-Men were Cyclops and the all new, all different X-men save Jean and the rest of the original X-Men. When the get back to the X-Mansion, Jean and the rest of the originals except Cyclops quit. Jean isn't heard from again until Jean and Scott go on a date on Christmas day. After a brief make out session, Jean is kidnapped by Sentinels and taken into space. Scott eventually goes up tot rescue her but on their return home their space shuttle crashes in Jamaica Bay in New York. Jean emerges as Phoenix but still needs to spend some time in the hospital to recover. Scott then leaves Jean in the hospital to help the rest of the X-Men out in Ireland. Later Jean is attacked in her apartment by the Firelord. She eventually hooks up with the rest of the X-Men and end up on another planet where she saves the universe. When they return to Earth Jean tells Scott she doesn't want to discuss their relationship. Then they are kidnapped by Mesmero and Magneto. When they finally escape form Magneto, Jean and Beast end up believing the rest of the X-Men are dead and vice versa. They don't reunite until a years worth of comics later on Muir Island. There they fight Proteus together. A week after defeating Proteus, they leave Muir Island (and Jean and Scott have made out at least one more time), the X-Men meet Kitty Pryde and the Dazzler. The next day they fly out to New Mexico to meet Angel. After Scott and Jean finally bone and a week goes by, they fight the Hellfire club, and Jean Grey becomes the Black Queen for a few hours, and then Dark Phoenix. Jean kills a solar system and then has to fight for her life against the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, which she does and then kills herself.

Thats the sum of their relationship. a few make out sessions, followed by one week of boning at Angel's pad in New Mexico. Then she dies. But then, Romeo and Juliet only spent one night together before everything went to shit in Verona, so whatever.

Well, so long Jean Grey, have fun getting fisted in hell.
