( Okay, let's how this goes ... )

Based on the SWORD post, I mentioned this as great X-fan service and offered to post it. Bendis and his X-run were controversial. So is how Wanda is treated in X-books. However, I love this exchange and I loved teen Jean's indiscriminate use of her new telepathic powers. It acted as a direct response to Remender's Uncanny Avengers.

6-2/3 pages (including the cover) of 22. There doesn't appear to be any other pages from this in the archive.






Ruh roh. Teen Jean's built for exactly this moment.







I hesitate to say this but ... I really did love Bendis' Jean, easily one of the best takes on her IMO.




Bendis shows he gets how a lot of X-fans felt by killing any empathy I might have had for the Avengers with how Wanda, Rogue, Thor and Cap address this revelation. Blame and mock Jean while minimizing the incident. Thor's "This matter has been -" being cut off is perfect analogue for the Avengers office who were all, "get over it" but the matter was clearly not settled for a lot of fans.





Bendis probably got "And that makes it all better?" right from a fan forum.






Things continue on the X-jet with some final parting shots, including a shot at teen Beast, hinting at what he'll become.
