Court's in session for Jean Grey in 'X-Men' crossover Brian TruittUSA TODAY Jean Grey is taken from Earth and put on trial for crimes she hasn't committed yet in an "All-New-X-Men"/"Guardians of the Galaxy" crossover. %27All-New X-Men%27 issue kicks off %27Trial of Jean Grey%27 story line The series crosses over with %27Guardians of the Galaxy%27 Arc is a %27game-changer%27 for Jean%2C according to Brian Michael Bendis Brian Michael Bendis considers his All-New X-Men/Guardians of the Galaxy crossover story line "The Trial of Jean Grey" to be one of the bigger ones in the character's history in Marvel Comics. And considering that history involves multiple deaths and resurrections, relationship drama and her being possessed by an all-powerful cosmic force leading to a violent swath of death being cut through the universe, that's saying something. But the Jean who Bendis writes in All-New X-Men is a young version time-traveled along with the original X-Men Cyclops, Angel, Beast and Iceman to the present, so she doesn't know what her older self has done. Still, the rest of the universe wants payback. As part of the "All-New Marvel NOW!" initiative, All-New X-Men No. 22.NOW — with art by Stuart Immonen — kicks off the six-part arc Wednesday that will cross over with Bendis' Guardians book and see various alien races learning Jean's back and demanding justice. The action continues next week in Guardians of the Galaxy No. 11.NOW. "Jean Grey actually committed horrible crimes, but her body did and not her mind," Bendis says. Even though she's been told about her life by others, "there are things that happened that the other X-Men weren't witness to. "What a grand opportunity for someone to be put on trial for something they don't know about." With a bit of an influence from Franz Kafka's novel The Trial — "Because kids love Kafka's The Trial!" Bendis quips — cosmic elements get thrown in with the usual court proceedings and reveals of who would want to put her on trial, what would they know and what would have been. No one seemingly holds as much of a grudge as the Shi'ar Empire, who were witness to the supernova element that Jean was as the Phoenix and the genocide that followed. And they've got the footage to prove it. "The name of Jean Grey haunts the Shi'ar Empire," Bendis says. "They've already gone to great lengths to make sure it doesn't happen again. They murdered her family making sure just in case if it's something in the Jean Grey DNA to cause the Phoenix to become this thing, they wiped it out. And she's going to find out about that, too." The trial will delve into the deep questions of if one is responsible for the crimes they haven't committed even though they actually have happened. "So it's like Minority Report plus one," Bendis says. "That got interesting." The Shi'ar Empire leads the case against Jean Grey in a scene from "All-New X-Men" No. 23. There's a lot of X-Men history at play, according to the writer, and while he's usually loathe to write comics about other comics, All-New X-Men is really about their legacies, what they mean and if can they avoid mistakes of the past, he says. "We have a little more leeway here to really dive into the stories, whether you know them or not." It'll also ask some interesting questions about power and responsibility, Bendis adds. "I'm always looking for that new angle on that power-and-responsibility jag after 200-some issues of Spider-Man. It's always fun to find one." Get the Coronavirus Watch newsletter in your inbox.

The story is a big one for Cyclops, too, but none more so than Jean. "Even if she doesn't remember all of these things, she's going to be shown evidence of them that is undeniable," Bendis says. "And then she gets to be faced with the fact that she is capable and responsible for all these deaths. It's going to be a big game-changer for the character." One thing the former Avengers writer's learned about being in the X-Men corner of the Marvel Universe the last year — Bendis also pens Uncanny X-Men — is that there's nothing more important to an X-fan than relationships between characters and all of their favorites getting their time to shine. So even though the natural drama tends toward Jean and Cyclops here, Bendis feels he needs to find some cool stuff for Angel after this. "It's just like in real life. There are some people who are just this burst of energy in your life, and you deal with them," Bendis explains. "Whether that's your girlfriend or your boyfriend or your kids, there's someone in your life who demands a certain amount of attention. And then you want to make sure your other friends get the attention, too, but the day's almost over. "That's what it's like when you're writing a team book. Jean demands attention. There's so much going on with her that you can't not deal with her immediately or it'd just feel like bad writing. And then you get to the end of it and you're like, 'Oh poor Angel! Lets get to him.' " Lots of X-Men get a chance to shine in the upcoming All-New X-Men No. 25, an "all-star jam" of an anniversary issue where Bendis is working with a bunch of different artists, he says. "No way in hell can we get a monthly book out of them but we can squeeze a couple of pages." However, following the current crop of issues, Jean will have to deal with a whole bunch of new information about herself and the universe going forward, and there's going to be "some status quo changes we're very excited about," Bendis says. "The X-Men fans will be like, 'Whoa! I didn't know you were going to go that far.' "
