Lol, the "fight" was a bit anticlimatic. But it's probably for the best. No Jean vs Storm mess on the thread. And yeah I think Storm is the last member. Some people thought she would be just on this arc, so that's why they still considered the last member a secret until now. Can't wait to see her cover.
So, I've read the issue.
1) I can overlook Jean getting into Ororo's head to remove the psychic suggestion. I don't like how the writer ignored Storm's immunity to lightning, but I'm not gonna go on about that.
2) If Storm is truly going to join this team, I think the story in this title is much better than Gold, however, solicitations for June and July still show her in Gold and not in Red. I don't think she is going to be on the roster in Red, to be honest, though it would be a much better fit for her than Gold.
3) If Storm joins Red, they seriously need to cut down the size of the cast to 6 or 7 members. Keep Laura, but drop the other two Wolverine knock-offs, or maybe drop Laura, too, and have Gambit fill that role. I'd go with a team of Storm, Jean, Trinary, Gambit, Namor, Gentle, and Nightcrawler. Anywho, the roster is just too big to give anyone real development outside of Jean, who will get focus regardless since this is the first time she's led a team.
4) The book was better than I thought it would be.
1. Good to see your initial concerns didnt come into fruition
2. Storm is doing double duty. They already said Kurt would and now we see Storm will, at least for the near future
3. There's only 2 Wolverine clones. If Laura stays, Gabby would be the only one. IA, that they should get rid of her but I think Taylor only has her here bc he lost ANW
4. Its amazing!
I really hope we see this
I think some are misunderstanding what Jean said in regard to Nezhno. She said she thinks she "can work WITH him on the pain receptors blocking his powers." imo she was implying they could come up with a way for him to be able to get beyond that as she implied helping him reach his full potential. Perhaps he has some sort of Scott like Trauma that is affecting his powers.
Don't let anyone else hold the candle that lights the way to your future because only you can sustain the flame.

It's interesting how many big personalities/leaders gravitating to this team. Kurt, Ororo, and Namor are all accustomed to being in charge of things. I don't expect Black Panther to be too involved going forward but I imagine he'll always be waiting in the wings if needed. Interested to see how all these people come together with Jean at the center.
I know little about Nezhno and am eager to see this explored. Plenty of mutants before him joined the X-Men with no promise of their powers getting better only to evolve later: Rogue, Marrow, etc.
So Storm is the last member, well played Tom
that is THE costume, the best from the team
So glad Storm is out of that silly looking one piece. Wish they would’ve saved the big team shot until everyone was together.
I like how Jean after finding out Storm and BP are together immediately decides they have to leave Wakanda. She really is shameless.
Isn't Gambit joining the team too?
