==== ''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>
