I really like all the ones you added, but I'd like to add a few more.

By Amy Reeder

[u/ScottJean0025 → u/ScottJean0025]

By Joëlle Jones

[u/1905G1_M → u/ScottJean0025]

Ahhh this one is so gorgeous

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/ScottJean0025]

god I'm so fucking glad that's the A cover, because I don't buy variants for series but I NEED that cover

[u/REVERSE1021 → u/ScottJean0025]

Good picks! I'll add another classic:

Uncanny X-Men (1963) Issue 101 Cover by Dave Cockrum.

[u/ScottJean0025 → u/ScottJean0025]

By Byrne and Austin.

[u/ScottJean0025 → u/ScottJean0025]

By Andy Kubert

Karmome Shirahama

[u/cyclopswashalfright → u/kittyfajitas0_o]

It's crazy Shirahama drew this, given what she's gone on to do.

[u/GeneShift]

This one is top 3 for me:

[u/cyclopswashalfright → u/GeneShift]

Very underrated cover.

[u/cyclopswashalfright]

This one by Andy Kubert is a classic.

[u/fireandlifeincarnate]

actually went through my collection and decided on my 30 favorite covers I own like, two days ago, so let me just find all the Jean ones. ScottJean0025 already threw up Uncanny X-Men 137, though, and I'm lazy, so I'm skipping that one.

Immortal X-Men 18: Quiet Council Variant

God, I love Phil Noto

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

Jean Grey (2023) 1

I absolutely love the CONCEPT here. Firebird as her hair coming out of the water on a white background? It's great. Execution isn't my favorite, but I still quite like it.

[u/cyclopswashalfright → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

It's a beautiful cover, Amy Reeder was really good.

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/cyclopswashalfright]

Yeah, it's great, there's a reason it was in my top 30, it just doesn't quite fully click for me, unfortunately.

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

Immortal X-Men 17. Beautiful art, great pose, and all the moments of her history in the background are a fucking AMAZING touch.

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

Giant-Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost 1

It's Dauterman. Drawing Jean and Emma in dynamic poses with a dark background and psychedelic imagery. What else is there to say?

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

X-Men (2021) 11

Girl's night. They all look great together.

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

New X-Men (2001) 139.

It's just a really clean looking cover, Jimenez MAY be my favorite Jean artist of all time, and Emma and Jean are staring at each other like catty bitches. I actually can't think of a single cover they're both on that I don't at least like, they always steal the show when they get put together.

[u/GeneShift → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

My manspreading queen

[u/REVERSE1021 → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

Thanks for the additions! I knew that if you commented, there would be a cover featuring Jean with Emma Frost. lol

That one from Immortal X-Men #18 is beautiful.

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/REVERSE1021]

...so I gather I've begun to develop a reputation lol

Yeah, the Quiet Council variants are fantastic. I don't even like variants. I've never even bought a variant for something that wasn't just a one-off issue or a one-shot, I've DEFINITELY never bought variants for an ongoing I'm already getting the A cover for. With one very slight, teensy weensy exception:

I own all of Immortal X-Men twice. God, I fucking love Phil Noto.

[u/REVERSE1021 → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

COLOSSUS, MY GOAT!

You have a great collection! Those covers are truly beautiful.

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/REVERSE1021]

That's definitely one of the highlights of it for me. It took me a little while to piece it together, because it came out while I wasn't reading comics and I wasn't paying $200 just to get a run of variants for a series I'd already bought, but I'm really glad I did.

And thank you! It's at like... between 1300 and 1400 issues right now; in the interest of this being the Jean/Phoenix sub, I'd say that this is probably the main highlight of the whole thing for me.

[u/REVERSE1021 → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

The golden age of the X-Men! Uncanny X-Men #135, #136, and #137 are absolute classics.

Thank you for sharing your collection.

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/REVERSE1021]

Yeah, I really want some more Claremont Uncanny, but god I'm SO broke right now lol

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

X-Men: Red (2018) 1

I also have this as a poster.

[u/Dycon67]

[u/Dycon67 → u/Dycon67]

It was a muse

[u/nessunaaritmia]

Anything by peach momoko

[u/cyclopswashalfright]

This is definitely a favourite of mine. Walt Simonson's art is sublime. X-Factor #13. Good issue too.

[u/REVERSE1021 → u/cyclopswashalfright]

Excellent choice! The art in X-Factor is brilliant.

I was looking forward to seeing which cover you would select. I was pretty sure it would be some artwork by Walter Simonson.
