'Jean Grey' #3: Jean Faces Her Fears, a Kraken and the Phoenix Force in One of the Best Comics of the Year So Far
As any comic book fan can attest, the best comics aren't usually the "event" issues. More often than not, the most special comics are the single issues favorite characters are given new depths; where heroes come face to face with their own weaknesses and truly prove their heroism. In previous articles, I've explored classic issues like Uncanny X-Men #303, which wrestles with grief and tragedy, and Green Lanterns #15, a poignant issue focused on what it means to live with anxiety. This time round, I want to take a look at a recent character study: Jean Grey #3, by Dennis Hopeless and Victor Ibáñez.
