The recent X-men gold run was pretty meh... (at best.)
And now in Marauders seems like more of the same. The first issue was mainly Kitty being a badass while Omega level mutants (like Storm) are left somehow helpless.
Storm has major star power and shines as a omega/leader/goddess/queen. So it seems like every time Kitty wants to be the leader of an X-team, the writers always add her to kitty's team AND THEN have to downplay Storm in order to make it seem like Kitty is a boss. Which begs the question... WHY PUT STORM IN KITTY'S CENTERED BOOKS??? (I know they used to have a special relationship in the past, but that isn't the same dynamic mother/daughter-like relationship anymore.)
X-men Red made sense to have Storm in a Jean centered book. Storm really wasn't downplayed in X-men Red. In fact, Storm seemed like a real threat in X-men Red. But that makes sense because Jean and Storm powersets go well together storywise and nobody has to downplay anyone for it to make sense. Kitty should have more characters in her books on her level. Instead of Kitty centered books cashing checks based on more popular characters in the lineup like Storm, Emma, and Wolverine.
