User blog comment:Blinkn/The Dead and the REALLY dead?/@comment-4966384-20120329183812

Jean Grey has been dead since X-Men (New X-Men) #150. That comic (now X-Men: Legacy) is now up to issue #264 so that is a pretty long time for a major Marvel character to be dead. 114 issues divided by approx. 12 issues a year means she has been dead for around 9 1/2 years! My personal belief is it is time for her to come back. It would make for some very interesting stories involving the major changes that Cyclops has undergone during her time away and also his relationship with Emma Frost (which I've never been a big fan of). It would be a fun shake up I think.
