==== ''X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga'' (1980) ====
David Caballero of ''[[Screen Rant]]'' stated, "During the Silver and Bronze Ages of comic books, many Marvel teams had their obligatory female figure. The X-Men had Jean as Marvel Girl, the Fantastic Four had the Invisible Girl, and the Avengers had the Wasp. They provided considerable support to their men-dominated teams but never excelled in the same way their teammates did. By the 70s, more female characters were a part of the conversation, but they never took control of it. ''The Dark Phoenix Saga'' changed the discourse by having a woman take the microphone, then blowing the roof and making the entire world her stage. The mightiest being in Marvel comics was a woman, a normally obedient female character who was finally letting loose. ''The Dark Phoenix Saga'' did more for female heroes and villains with just a few numbers than an entire decade of comic book continuity."<ref name=":1" /> Tyler Huckabee of ''[[IGN]]'' included ''X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga'' in their "7 Best Jean Grey Comics" list, stating, "We begin at the end — one of the many that Jean Grey has endured during her time as an X-Man. It’s The Dark Phoenix Sagae how influential John Byrne and Chris Claremont’s 1980 epic is. It was, perhaps, the first superhero stoDark Phoenix Sagatalize on just how sweeping the medium could be, while never losing sight of the tender heart that beat at the center of all Claremont’s finest work. Every superhero story that came after ''The Dark Phoenix Saga'' is indebted to it in some way. Like any X-Man worth her salt, Jean’s story is a bit convoluted, and the ''Dark Phoenix Saga'' is a trippier ride than most, but Claremont keeps things clipping at an even pace that helps even the wildest plot twist go down easily. And more importantly, he centers the all-important romance between Cyclops and Jean Grey, leading to some profoundly moving moments. These moments are all captured exquisitely by legendary superhero artist John Byrne, who was as deft as crafting crackling fight scenes as he was with intimate confessions of love. Nearly forty years after its publication, it’s hardly a spoiler to say the Dark Phoenix ended with Jeans’ (first) (temporary) death, but what rose from the ashes was a whole new era for how grand comic books could be."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Huckabee |first=Tyler |date=2017-12-05 |title=7 Best Jean Grey Comics |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/12/05/7-best-jean-grey-comics-phoenix-marvel-girl |access-date=2022-09-03 |website=[[IGN]] |language=en}}</ref>

==== ''X-Men Origins: Jean Grey'' (2008) ====
According to [[Diamond Comic Distributors]], ''X-Men Origins: Jean Grey'' #1 was the 85th best selling comic book in August 2008.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Top 100 Comics for August 2008 |url=http://www.diamondcomics.com/Article/74537-Top-100-Comics-for-August-2008 |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=[[Diamond Comic Distributors]] |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Mayo |first=John |date=2008-10-01 |title=Sales Estimates for August, 2008 |url=https://www.cbr.com/sales-estimates-for-august-2008/ |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=[[Comic Book Resources]] |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Comichron: August 2008 Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops |url=https://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2008/2008-08.html |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=[[Comichron]]}}</ref>

Michael Austin of ''[[Comic Book Resources]]'' asserted, "This 2008 one-shot written by Sean McKeever was a true standout for the character. While the photorealism of the outwork is truly outstanding, it is the story that makes this comic great. As Jean's childhood best friend, Annie, is hit by a car, her telepathic abilities manifest for the first time. Jean is forced to experience the final thoughts of her dying friend and is traumatized as a result. With Professor Xavier's help, she works past her trauma and goes on to become a hero. The tragic, lifelike beauty of this story and illustration makes ''X-Men Origins: Jean Grey'' a stand-out among her many stories. It is a must-read for the character, as it helps inform both how she became such a powerful entity and what monsters she has lurking in the back of her mind."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Austin |first=Michael |date=2019-06-10 |title=X-Men: The 10 Most Important Jean Grey Stories |url=https://www.cbr.com/x-men-most-important-jean-grey-stories/ |access-date=2022-09-02 |website=[[Comic Book Resources]] |language=en-US}}</ref> Jesse Schedeen of ''[[IGN]]'' gave ''X-Men Origins: Jean Grey'' #1 a grade of 7.5 out of 10, writing, "Mostly, this issue is meant to appeal to fans of Mayhew's art (of which I'm sure there are plenty) and those who really want Jean back in the X-books (no clue on that one). Those two groups will be satisfied, so I suppose that means mission accomplished."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schedeen |first=Jesse |date=2008-08-13 |title=X-Men Origins: Jean Grey Review |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2008/08/13/x-men-origins-jean-grey-review |access-date=2022-09-02 |website=[[IGN]] |language=en}}</ref>

==== ''Jean Grey'' (2017) ====
According to [[Diamond Comic Distributors]], ''Jean Grey'' #1 was the 13th best selling comic book in May 2017.<ref name=":6">{{Cite web |title=Top 100 Comics: May 2017 |url=http://www.diamondcomics.com/Article/195874-Top-100-Comics-May-2017 |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=[[Diamond Comic Distributors]] |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":7">{{Cite web |title=Comichron: May 2017 Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops |url=https://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2017/2017-05.html |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=[[Comichron]]}}</ref> ''Jean Grey'' #2 was the 84th best selling comic book in May 2017.<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":7" />

Mya Nunnally of ''[[ComicsVerse]]'' gave ''Jean Grey'' #1 a score of 95%, stating, "In a world where teenage girls get insulted endlessly for their music choice, their taste in movies, and their hobbies, we need Jean Grey. Specifically, we need ''Jean Grey'' #1, her new solo run written by Dennis Hopeless. In this comic, Jean is an unapologetic teenage girl. A silly, pretty, emotional, selfie-taking teenage girl. And that’s what makes her wonderful. Too often we see female superheroes stripping themselves of their identity to fit the mold of what a superhero should be. Maybe they wear completely ineffective armor. Or perhaps they’re essentially a male character with boobs. Maybe they try to be cold and distant and masculine so that they’re really just another testosterone bump to the already male team. [...] ''Jean Grey'' #1 ends in a crazy cliff-hanger, which I believe is how all first episodes should end. However, it’ll definitely be divisive. Some might see it as weak storytelling relying on previous Jean-related drama. But I thought it was a natural way to go and a good way to make sure readers want to continue reading. I’ll definitely keep up with this, even if it’s just to keep a character I love close to my heart. Jean Grey deserved better, and now here she is, getting it."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nunnally |first=Mya |date=May 3, 2017 |title=JEAN GREY #1 Review: Guess Who's Back and Better Than Ever |url=https://comicsverse.com/jean-grey-1-review/ |website=[[ComicsVerse]]}}</ref> Jesse Schedeen of ''[[IGN]]'' gave ''Jean Grey''#1 a grade of 7 out of 10, asserting, "Jean Grey seems like it'll develop into a worthwhile addition to the growing ResurrXion lineup. The art is strong, and Dennis Hopeless shows a decent handle on the title character. Unfortunately, the series gets off to a needlessly slow start in this first issue, dwelling on an overlong battle with the Wrecking Crew rather than diving into the heart of Jean's struggle."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schedeen |first=Jesse |date=2017-05-04 |title=Jean Grey #1 Review |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/05/04/jean-grey-1-review |access-date=2022-09-02 |website=[[IGN]] |language=en}}</ref>

==== ''Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey'' (2017) ====
According to [[Diamond Comic Distributors]], ''Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey'' #1 was the 3rd best selling comic book in December 2017.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Top 100 Comics: December 2017 |url=http://www.diamondcomics.com/Article/205747-Top-100-Comics-December-2017 |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=[[Diamond Comic Distributors]] |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Comichron: December 2017 Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops |url=https://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2017/2017-12.html |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=[[Comichron]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Mayo |first=John |date=January 15, 2018 |title=Doomsday Clock, Dark Nights: Metal & Phoenix Resurrection Top a Slow December |url=https://www.cbr.com/december-2017-sales-charts/ |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=[[Comic Book Resources]] |language=en-US}}</ref>

Joe Glass of ''[[Bleeding Cool]]'' wrote, "Nothing with the Phoenix is ever easy and straightforward, but it is dramatic and fun, and Rosenberg has managed that tight rope expertly in this first issue. Yu's artwork is great for the issue, too. There are some really creepy moments, which Yu draws well and manages to make it creepy to look at. We get to see a fairly big number of X-Men, and he gives each their own identity clearly and the story flows well. ''Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey #1'' is a really great, intriguing and bizarre start for this series, and it certainly has me hooked to see how this series will evolve."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Glass |first=Joe |date=2017-11-07 |title=Phoenix Resurrection #1 Review: A Powerful, Quirky Start |url=https://bleedingcool.com/comics/phoenix-resurrection-return-jean-grey-review/ |access-date=2022-09-02 |website=[[Bleeding Cool]] |language=en}}</ref> Jesse Schedeen of ''[[IGN]]'' gave ''Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey'' #1 a grade of 6.3 out of 10, writing, "The prospect of having Jean Grey back as an active player in the X-Men franchise is plenty appealing, but Phoenix Resurrection only partly realizes that potential. When this issue focuses on the enigmatic status quo of this all-powerful mutant heroine, it makes for fascinating reading. But when the rest of the X-Men enter the picture, the book begins to drag. It doesn't help that artist Leinil Yu struggles to make the most of the material. Hopefully this series can find its groove as it gets deeper into Jean's latest return to life."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schedeen |first=Jesse |date=2017-12-27 |title=Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey #1 Review |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/12/27/phoenix-resurrection-the-return-of-jean-grey-1-review |access-date=2022-09-02 |website=[[IGN]] |language=en}}</ref>

Matthew Aguilar of ''[[ComicBook.com]]'' stated, "This story is a joy from beginning to end, but it also subtly hints at larger ramifications for not only Storm but every other mutant on the planet. Macro-level ideas regarding the soul, mutant resurrection, and the state of the mind are all explored in one way or another—anchored by the imminent danger to one of the X-Men's most iconic faces, and it makes for one very compelling mix. Whether you're looking for an entertaining adventure between two of your X-Men favorites, a thoughtful and action-packed journey through the mind, or another step forward in the evolution {{sic|nolink=y|reason=error in source|fo}} the X-Men, you'll find all of it in ''Giant Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost'' #1. It is one of the most stunning one-shots on the market today. In short, don't miss out on this issue; you'll regret it."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Aguilar |first=Matthew |date=February 26, 2020 |title=Giant-Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost #1 Review: A Simply Stunning Journey |url=https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/giant-size-x-men-jean-grey-emma-frost-1-review/ |access-date=2022-08-26 |website=[[ComicBook.com]] |language=en}}</ref> Mike Fugere of ''[[Comic Book Resources]]'' wrote, "''Giant-Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost'' #1 is an obvious tribute to an issue of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's iconic run on ''New X-Men,'' but its tone is far less psychedelic and far more ethereal. There is a sense of peace throughout Storm's mind, despite the horrific revelation that's discovered by the end of the issue. How the various emotional avatars within our Omega-Level mutant's mind interact with Jean and Emma are probably the most compelling part of this issue from a storytelling standpoint. It does a wonderful job at expressing emotions that are not always openly expressed between characters with conflicting ideologies with humor and a wonderful sense of whimsy."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Fugere |first=Mike |date=2020-03-01 |title=REVIEW: Giant-Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost Is Gorgeous and Ethereal |url=https://www.cbr.com/review-giant-size-x-men-jean-grey-emma-frost/ |access-date=2022-08-26 |website=[[Comic Book Resources]] |language=en-US}}</ref>
