Support the stories we want to see through our wallet and not the ones we don't. That is the only way for her trajectory to change.
This is why we as fans should put our dollars towards supporting Coates and not ones that seem to devalue her character.

The problem is not a lack of communication. More, its an obsession with Kitty right now in Gold. In order for Kitty to shine in the leadership position, they have to write down the older, more experienced members of the team, especially Ororo. Storm not only outshines Kitty more than any other character on the team in terms of experience, leadership, and powers, but other characters also outshine Kitty in these regards as well. Its all about propping up the favorite characters of the writers and editors and less about what fans want. Note the lackluster sales of Gold right now being in the mid-30k's for last month. That's TERRIBLE for a flagship team X-Men book that isn't a spin-off like X-Force or GenX. It just goes to show that there is a disconnect between what the writers/editors favor and what the fans want to read.
To illustrate my point more, look at the huge downward trajectory in terms of sales: Gold #1 sold well over 100K, IIRC. The most recent issue of Gold sold around 35K. People are simply not buying into this Kitty Pryde crap, but Marvel doesn't care. Instead of changing directions, they just keep trying to shove the same old crap that hardly anybody wants to read down the throats of the consumers. And some peope wonder why comics are a dying market. Go figure!
One more thing: As far as their agenda goes for trying to make Jean the Leading Lady of the X instead of a well-written Storm (and fans prefer a well-written Storm over a well-written Jean by a HUGE margin), if they had given X-Men Red to Ororo instead of Jean, I guarantee the book would have debuted at much higher than 98K. A lineup of Storm, Gambit, Nightcralwer, Namor, Trinary, and Gentle (basically, Jean's team minus the Wolverine knock-offs) would have had much more appeal to a broader and larger readership.

Storm looks so unbothered

I agree with this...hopefully this issue will put some closure to their relationship. But yeah I think this is an odd choice for a cover
Edit: meant to add I agree with weather’s post

It very much is an odd couple especially considering she is with Tchalla.
The thing is the thing the other characters are doing outside the xbooks seem to transfer over into the xbooks when they appear there. The same isn't true for Ororo for whatever reason.
Agreed.
