When Jean Grey returned from the dead, Scott Summers left his wife and child to be with her.
The fact that she was revealed to be a clone of Jean didn’t make her feel any better.
Maybe the cold sting of revenge can?

But Why Tho?
Dark Web: X-Men #3 shows a mother’s strength and vulnerability. It is a story steeped in specific history, which has left pain and scars. It’s an exciting issue, with a fantastic fight between two of Marvel’s most powerful women. - 90

In fact, this is easily one of my favorite issues of Jean as well, and when both Maddie and Jean are the focus this book soars, as Reis, Noto, and Petit create a feast for the eyes with vivid purples, pinks, and yellows. There are a few lines of dialogue that come off a bit clunky, but when everything else is this good those are rather easy to ignore. Even if you've been missing out on "Dark Web," do yourself a favor and do not miss the excellence that is Dark Web: X-Men. - 84

Overall, “Dark Web: X-Men” #3 offers an unexpected resolution to one half of ‘Dark Web.’ I’m curious to see if this same approach is captured in future issues of the crossover in other titles. Gerry Duggan writes the expansive cast of this issue with strong characterization. The art from Phil Noto introducing the next phase of the crossover at the end of the issue is beautiful. The way Rod Reis depicted the intense battle between Madelyne and Jean is another great moment for the issue. - 80

This issue is an exciting step forward into the future for longtime X-Men fans. There’a ton of possibility from what’s here and I can’t wait see what is done with it. - 80

The art is great from top to bottom, with each page capturing the emotions perfectly and featuring setpieces and layouts that are completely eye-catching. Writing-wise, this is easily some of Duggan’s best work on the X-Men line, delivering what are ultimately great character moments and an interesting platform to step off from for future stories. - 70

A gorgeously rendered issue for a mini-series that seems irrelevant to the broader Dark Web event machinations until this issue. The Goblin Queen has turned face leaving Chasm as the remaining heel, with his girlfriend Hallows’ Eve, as the two lead antagonists left standing. A rollercoaster of emotions in this issue.
