X-MEN RED, written by Tom Taylor (All-New Wolverine) with art by Mahmud Asrar (All-New, All-Different Avengers Generations: The Unworthy Thor & The Mighty Thor), is the newest X-Book coming this February. It continues the story of Jean Grey after her rebirth in PHOENIX RESURRECTION.
Keep an eye on this space as Xavier Files will be updating it as more information comes out.
Jean Grey
Rising from the ashes, Jean Grey is returning to lead the team in X-MEN RED. She comes back after 13 years to discover the world is very different from the one she left. Fans should look forward to getting a new take on the character after so long.

Who could it be? Laura, Gabby, and Nightcrawler (but could be Nocturne) look like they are there. Maybe Dani with the braid and Northstar with the Jesus Christ pose. My guesses below:
12:00 PM
Namor & Gentle

Looks like Prince Namor and Gentle are joining the X-MEN RED squad. Gentle has been rarely used up to now so it will be exciting to see him get some real development. Namor, on the other hand, is one of the oldest Marvel characters. Consider me pumped.
1:00 PM
Nightcrawler & Gabby
Gabby and Nightcrawler join the new “X-Men Red” team! See them in action when you pick up the first issue at your local comic shop February 7th, 2018. pic.twitter.com/my6Nje80bH

Laura’s sister and Nightcrawler are jumping to X-MEN RED. It looks like Kurt will be leaving GOLD after the Negative Zone War arc. I’m also leaning towards Blink over Dani at this point.
2:00 PM
Trinary & Wolverine
The all-new Wolverine and the never-before-seen Trinary round out the “X-Men Red” team! Pick up the first issue at your local comic shop February 7th, 2018. pic.twitter.com/k31bykc0zu

And rounding out X-MEN RED is Wolverine and a new character named Trinary.
That’s all folks! Make sure to pick up X-MEN RED on February 2nd.
