I actually enjoyed Mauraders. Yeah Kitty was being her super duper self, but I found a great deal more endearing than in Gold. The colorist definitely need to darken Gateway a bit more.

I love how Storm had to remind herself of the "kill no man" rule. Lol
you know it's not too good of an issue when there is barely any comments on the issue.smh
So spoilers of issue relevant primarily to Storm:
We learn through the information splash page Storm is supplying hard drives that allow for the removal of data and also allows for communicating to mutants around the world.
Kate and her gang intercept a ship that was supposed to be delivering krakoa drugs to African nations but sebastian shaw instead was having it shipped to some wealthy nation. Batroc easily outmaneuvered Storm, Iceman and Pyro but ultimately ends up being subdued by Kitty.
The team meets up with Bishop and they party in Taipei. The find out that Xavier was killed but instead of mourning they (kitty and pyro) get tattoos. Kitty reveals shes tge Red Queen Bitch (rolls eyes).
It was pretty Emma and kitty heavy. The need to make kitty feel bad ass just comes across very forced. Like getting beat over the head with while the other characters are pretty much background with the exception of Emma. Any one who said duggan does well with a team I havent got the sense of that from the first two issues as they have been primarily Emma and kitty heavy. As for Storm, there may be potential later for more involvement but she is very much under utilized.
oh and lightning lass is here to stay :
oh another annoyance is gateway being whitewashed. it's just a big no for me.
ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
Batroc's power is kicking and two powerful veteran omega mutants got jobbed to him. I cant....
it's already become gold 2.0 to me. I mean keep in mind everyone else who got jobbed was sober yet kitty who was a drunken mess took on batroc no problem. I'm now more curious as to why there is this push to make her front and center. Like Gugga failed so they had to figure another way to make it work with having even some of the same players. I'm not here for this sorry not sorry.

Wow! Thanks Kyss! I was hoping to be proven wrong about my initial jaded hesitance but...so far I’m unfortunately on the right track for me. This is what I wanted to know so...now I know. I’m good on Duggan and his take on Storm. I am glad I didn’t buy this book and won’t bother.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
you're very welcome! you absolutely were right to be hesitant on the issue. I read it the whole time rolling my eyes. maybe it will change somewhere down the line but this most certainly read similar to the storm in xmen gold. now if you want to see Emma being sassy with sebastian and for the second issue in a row reminded why kitty is badass this issue is for you.

As someone who loathed Gold and generally dislikes Kitty, I have to disagree with the comparisons. I found the whitewashing more offensive than the portrayal. Duggan has already indicated the focus will shift to Storm soon, and I can see the logic of starting with Kitty as much as I would prefer it otherwise.
