Jean Grey School For Higher Learning Mini-Site
Recently I started to notice comic book writers retweeting questions that were being answered by the Jean Grey School For Higher Learning’s Twitter account @JeanGreySchool, and I became instantly curious. Was this a fan, or an X-Men writer? No, it was just Marvel garnering attention for some of the new X-Men comic books that feature Wolverine’s off shoot X-Men team (Wolverine & The X-Men, X-Men Legacy, etc). Well, it worked, I had to see what was going on with the X-Men, what would cause Wolverine to go and reopen the original Xavier’s School for Higher Learning and rename it after Jean Grey (it turns out Wolverine and Cyclops had a falling out and they split up, along with all the other X-Mutants picking sides). The mini site has a listing of its faculty, to show you which classic X-Men chose to join Wolverine’s team, as well as offering some hilarious examples of the curriculum (The Art of Fighting without Fighting with Headmaster Logan, The Art of Fighting with Fighting with Headmaster Logan, Zen and The Art of Ice Sculpture with Professor Bobby Drake, and Sex Ed with Professor Remy Lebeau are a couple of my favorites)
Do yourself a favor (if you haven’t recently) and check in with some of your favorite mutants through Marvel’s mini site Jean Grey School. It’s always nice to see a big company like that put some extra time and creativity into marketing new books, even if they are probably some of the most popular characters in the history of their company.
