Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
For good or bad, Red is essentially Jean Grey's book. She is the central character. Gold was pretty much Kitty's book. I agree that Storm needs more focus. She is one of the best characters, yet some writers tend to sideline her. I've always preferred Storm as a leader. She is too powerful, in mutant ability and personality, to be a follower. Although, I do like Jean being an Xavier type visionary leader.
Besides the above scan, Storm also created air/pressure force fields during the original Gold Team era such as the Into the Void storyline. When I saw the Red scans, I immediately thought Storm didn't need saving by Jean's TK bubble. Storm clearly has some control over water as she can control evaporation, condensation, precipitation, etc. In an early Uncanny issue, Storm is trapped underwater and thinks that she should be able to control water, but it is a heavier medium than air. The suggestion was that it is harder to control water than air and she simply hadn't learned how yet.
Additionally, I've long disliked the over reliance on Jean's TK bubble. Some writers (especially during the 90s) had her use it way too much just as some writers over rely on Storm's lightning bolts. At least lightning is a better go-to move than a pink bubble.
I agree with the overall message behind this post. I ultimately dont care if jean is central to the story but there needs to be better balance on showcasing everyone's abilities and the need for them on the team. You brought up this scan which was another I thought about when I read the preview:
if Taylor can change the trajectory of the book I'm all for it but after 7 issues and the preview it seems unlikely this will happen.

I wont disagree with you that Jean is central to Red bc she is. Its a book built around her and doesnt try to hide that. Its been 14 years since so this is appropriate
IDA with your second paragraph though. The way Kitty treats her team has been problematic. She doesnt respect them and just barks orders around. Its not like she goes to anyone for help, advice, support, etc...She just knows everything and has been obnoxious at times with her power. Thats been one complaint (among many) since Gold launched
As for Storm's future, I do wonder if she will be in Uncanny X-men's relaunch as a team member. If she does go, I hope she at least keeps her Red look
Yeah, no. Evolution Storm was horrible(as was most of that show). I couldn't stand the art direction, let alone the characterizations. I'll give them their finale, those were the best four episodes they could manage, but no.

I want new costumes too. The giant belly button "x's" on the Red team looks don't work for me. Nor does the vaguely 'X' shaped yellow pipping on Storm, in particular. It's better than the boring Gold bathing suit, sure, but no. Not really feeling the new diadem, either. The high poneytail is okay, I guess, but the headband makes even less sense than her original one.

Spyke was an abomination, and they never even managed to properly explain his relation to Ororo(how does she have an American sister when she was orphaned and lived in Africa after that). While Storm was basically the powerhouse in that show, compared to a bunch of whiny kids that is no real compliment. I guess if Evolution was the show you grew up on/were introduced to first, you'll have your soft spot for it, but I watched the whole series and was happy it was cancelled.

Plus, he was a Marrow ripoff power wise. He was the token black teen, since they decided not to make Ororo the same age as Scott and Jean, although she is canonically around the same age as them in the comics. Then again, they made Rogue the same as as S&J, even though technically she should be a preteen or younger and Kitty even younger.
I still think they should've gone with my design I did for Storm back in 2013. > I was honestly hurt, lol.
