Kitty celebrated her 21st birthday in a comic that came out almost a decade ago (Girl Comics).
Yeah, Kitty needs a few lessons in consent.
Mostly enjoy this book but I do wish the colourist would learn to colour non-white-people. Storm just has a light tan and Gateway looks like Santa Claus! It's a sin.
Also, we're cool with the X-Men stealing and selling random boats now? What a bunch of jerks.
I prefer it when the Hellfire Club is made of businessmen (that is also why I dislike Selene there)
the character that would make most sense taking the third spot is Warren Worthington
So, Kitty better begin to make some money

Plus the whole "grudges are over" arguments falls flat regardless. That's most of the reason Emma and Shaw are bitching at each other! And its never felt like a sensible or meaningful thing because nobody has actually buried the hatchet or apologized or anything on-panel. Xavier just sort of declared it to be so, and nobody has any real reason to be buddies with each other. Especially since people like Apocalypse, Shaw and Sinister haven't changed their ways or given any indication that they're admitting they did anything wrong or even apologized to any of the people they screwed over.

I mostly agree with that. I take exception to people saying “get a proper colourist in” when Blee is a proper colourist. Plus, even though many of us would very much want some darker skin tones for representation and progress picking on a colourist for that is not really fair. Lobby Marvel, raise the issue here and elsewhere, but there is no need to make the attack personal against a specific individual.
I would prefer the colourists we’re briefed more fully on these sensitivities, and I would prefer Storm and Bishop were more consistent across the line. But even if those things were done there would be absolutely nothing wrong with the colour choices for Gateway in this issue, for example. The colour choices were composition based not skin tone based.
Careful what we wish for. We could lobby for a specific colour choice and they may decide to instruct Alex Ross to lighten Storm for consistency.

“And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.” ― Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Honestly, regarding skin tones, I just assumed the lighter tones were a lighting effect from the use of powers. Gateway, for example, tears a hole through reality, bathing the entire background and cast in strange, brilliant lighting. I was way more irritated that Bishop had nothing to say to his grampa, then I was by this alleged colorism.

Well that last page surely was no surprise anymore, whahaha.
I do wonder who will take the other seats.
Somehow this series seems to have a very slow take-off.
