Jean is sooooo (very obviously) my favourite.
Sure she's been around since the sixties, but Emma's not that far behind her - it was in the Dark Phoenix saga (which, btw, so KICKED ASS!) that Emma first appeared.
I like the new Emma better than the old one, with her English accent and mannerisms and her bitchiness. Sometimes her voice comes through so clearly, and i do think that Grant Morrison did a fantastic job writing her on New X-Men.
However, Morrison also gave Jean more layers too. We saw her temper actually taking control of her (for once without the Phoenix taking over her - it was just pure Jean), getting the better of her, and then the deterioration of her and Scott's relationship was heartbreaking to read and, to an extent, watch. But it was so required.
I love that all she ever does is die for the sake of good, but after death number three i was like, eh, hold on - too many!
I want her back now. Maybe with less focus on the Phoenix force growing - just to see her fight with that power as an X-man again would be fab, without all the "Jean, your powers are growing and they're all bigger than ever and shit, is that the time? A whole series without you dying? Oh well you better go get yourself hosed down and run into an oversized electrical socket!"
