Well, I guess one way to look at it that is fairly logical is that a) Jean Grey is tremendously powerful and b) pretty creative and emotional. She was just calling on a past experience and unconciously expressing it creatively - note that she wasn't really aware that she had done the whole Phoenix thing. The character did more or less exactly the same thing when Steve Seagle/Joe Kelly was writing it about four years ago. The guy can look on the bright side, that Grant is actually clearing up a continuity issue that was brought up by them but quickly shuffled away because of editorial interference.
Anyway, that guy just gives me the creeps. He's the kind of person who really doesn't care what the stories and comics are like so long as they are faithful and anal retentive in keeping with comics Chris Claremont was writing and probably just throwing out any old shit that came into his head at the time. The guy wasn't even consistent with himself, how can you expect other people to be that way?
"Creator followers"? That's so crazy - because of course, our first loyalties should be to corporate properties, and not to writers and artists who appeal to us, right? Oh god, what this guy must think of creator-owned work...

Whoah!
This guy REALLY needs to settle down, especially when he's deluded himself into thinking anyone 'hip' is reading something like Alias.
But I don't think there is any saving this guy:
