Marvel spent years denying that they would ever bring back the original Jean Grey but she's once again among the land of the living and will take centre stage in a brand new series with an updated costume.

Fans were surprised and shocked at the news of adult Jean Grey’s return to the Marvel Universe in the upcoming Phoenix Resurrection but that looks set to be only be the beginning of exciting new adventures of one of the X-Men’s most beloved characters. Marvel has announced that Jean’s story continues with X-Men Red, a new series from writer Tom Taylor and with art by Mahmud Asrar.

Featuring new uniforms, a new team headquarters, and exciting new characters, X-Men Red is described as the series X-fans have been waiting for. "Tom has captured the spirit of a quintessential X-Men book," said series editor Mark Paniccia in a press release. "It’s got dynamic hero moments, great character interactions, and a surprise villain at the end. Mahmud is doing some of the best work of his career, going into this fully charged and designing cool new costumes for our team."

The series launches next February and you can get a first look at Jean's updated costume below. It's definitely a departure from previous versions of the character and one which points to her wielding the full power of the Phoenix Force. What do you think of Jean's new look in the Marvel Universe?
