Cyclops Point of View – Phoenix Art
Wow, what a great piece of artwork showing a first person view from the perspective of Cyclops and Phoenix removes his ruby quartz glasses. Great idea and terrific execution. I would love to buy this print if anyone can find it.

Jean Grey and Wolverine – Lost Loves
The romance between Jean Grey and Wolverine has been by far the most mishandled, misconstrued, and at times destructive pairing in the history of X-men. I know that’s saying a lot, but given how long this plot has been used I think we can objectively say it ranks right up there. I’ve never come across a comic book couple that has such ardent detractors and die-hard supporters. As a fan in general, I think it’s one of those “good on paper” type ideas that just was so poorly fleshed out that it’s become an open scab throughout the story of the X-men. Part of the problem was how it started. Chris Claremont originally had Logan attracted to Jean Grey because he just soured on Cyclops and Jean Grey. He has gone on record as saying he completely despised the Scott/Jean romance after what happened with Madelyn Pryor and had he stayed on board, he would have broken them up and put Jean with Logan. He’s already shown this in his X-men Forever series. It was one of the many reasons he split with the editors at the time. I think this sort of sets the tone because it wasn’t so much done because these characters complimented each other. It was done more so as a foil to the Scott/Jean romance. That just really doesn’t work. That would be akin to being a soccer fan just because you hate American football.
Adam Hughes Phoenix
Wow. Nice hair. Adam Hughes should definitely think about drawing the Jean Grey more often.

Adam Hughes does an incredible job on this version of the Black Queen. If anyone has original AH! art of Jean Grey in any costume, please send it in.
Phoenix Artwork by Gazbot
Stumbled across this artwork of Jean as Phoenix by Gazbot on deveiantart.com. Not often you seen Jean with a little meat on her bones. I like it, so here it is. What do you think?
How to draw Jean Grey as Phoenix
I have drawn and painted Jean Grey in many costumes and poses, but never in Photoshop. Here is a youtube video of Jean being drawn as Phoenix. I like these speed drawings. Enjoy.
Marvel Girl Homemade Costume
If I had to choose one look for Jean, as the prototype, I think I would have to choose her Marvel Girl costume. Sure, the Phoenix costume has all the flash and that defines her more than anything, but seeing Jean in the Marvel Girl costume harkens back to a simpler time for her and her merry band of mutants. Plus, I am a sucker for miniskirts.
Thanks to kelldar for letting us post her homemade costume of Marvel Girl.

Homemade Phoenix Costume
Thought I’d share these with you. These are pics of me from Halloween 2009 but this costume I originally made for San Diego Comic Con 2009 (just improved it for Halloween). The gloves, stockings, and green leotard I got from one site and matched it with a sash from another. Then just made the emblem with paint and stretchy gold fabric. Pretty easy, in the end!
