[QUOTE=jwatson;5220882]I am loving it. I love that i don't know how he feels about Storm personally but i believe he understands her place in the franchise and that her character demands some sense of prominence. It's not all about her but she is clearly a huge part of the tapestry. For me thats all i can really ask for. Are there personal things i would like to see? Sure. But i don't just read xmen for Storm i have a lot of fave characters she just happens to be number one
i also love the narrative she has never died. I don't know why but it will really mean something if her "first" death is a "permanent" one. So there is a lot there to unpack. Then the techno virus that incubated in the goddess of life. So much stuff. lol. I feel she has a more direct link to the Orrako mutants. Storm seems more like those ancient mutants than she does the modern ones. in both power and stature.
They should totally rewrite that her portal was taking her to Arrako. LOL[/QUOTE]
Same and Dittomatically present.

Well said. Storm is my main draw to any book she is in, but I was much more selective of what I bought based on how much she was used (at least for the last 10-12 years). I do like a few of the other X-characters to at least peruse a book to consider buying it but Storm is no doubt my real connection to the passion I feel for the X-Men. It has been a long time since i have excited about reading an X-book and really truly enjoyed it and felt my imagination engaged. Hickman was the breath of life I've needed for the X-books. Hickman's vision and narrative direction on the X-Men has been great for me. Now, I've not only just been getting the books where Storm is featured but I am loving and regularly pick up X-Force (Percy has been great), Hellions (absolutely hilarious read) and X-Factor (jury is still out on this one).
I too don't know how Hickman feels about Storm but I am appreciative and glad that Storm is finally getting some long overdue and meaningful focus, and that he is making it an effort to so this. I feels like he is rebuilding the agency and potency she has lost post XXM (not just token appearances), making decisions (both good and bad) that have an impact and being written in a compelling way that resonates with readers (fans/non-fans alike). I love the creative use of her powers (not tossing lighting all the damn time) and that some her other formidable talents (thievery, H2H, diplomacy ) are getting highlighted, but more importantly her role/voice is being used in a meaningful way to help drive the stories forward. Now they need to really find a strong and influential niche for Storm in the X-verse (and hopefully the MU as a whole), which may be in the works. She wasn't given the opportunity to help build and sustain Krakoa (outside of defending it and being part of the QC) but I am hoping the plans they have for her will be driving for the narrative, and an exploration of the character that has along term/impactful path for her.

Eh, some of y'all are looking too much in to that Death and Storm thing it was just a dance and Ro saying how death in general doesn't get her shook and blahzay blahzay. BlerdWithOutFear covered Marauders 14 and after watching the video i can say that i doubt the stakes of this run are that deep as it's proclaiming, wolverine is..... Yeah, Apocalyspe and his fam i gotta say isn't that interesting i swear marvel has done the same thing with thanos is some capacity other than that the story was meh to me. I'm waiting for this thing to get to the point already, I can already tell the jobbers on the X side is gonna get rekt in some way shape or form. I'm just here for the ride in terms of this HiXMen stuff, Whatever they do with storm is whatever at this point i ain't even paying attention to that aspect compared to some of y'all here.

We're just enjoying Storm taking charge and having a moment with a potentially strong man of color. One that obviously has good taste. Next week he could stab her or vice versa thats exciting. lol

I mean, it was cool but i kinda expect Ro to act that way in those situations. I seen a cover of the last issue of this sword story and Strom was just a bubble portrait in the bottom right corner, see where this goes.
Even though the grand design series hasn't been the best imo just thought i would mention Storm is part of Franklyn's final four. it consists of a grey haired logan, colossus, storm, and franklyn.

Lol. None of us are saying we know where any of this is going, looking too deep, or really expecting much of anything. It's just speculation and that's the fun of it. Honestly, as a Storm fan, it's been a long time since she's been apart of any X story where her role was even worth speculating about. I'm sorry you're not enjoying the event though but I understand, we all have different tastes.

May I ask where this is from?

[COLOR="#000080"]This is probably the biggest role she's played in an X-event in some time. So far things are looking good for her.
I'm wondering is this strictly a sword fight or will powers be allowed as well.[/COLOR]

I'm hoping for both...swords and powers being used in interesting ways.
Hey guys, what are yours expectations for Storm in King In Black?
since Donny Cates said the X-Men would play an important role as one of the first lines of defense on earth when Knull's army arrived.
I think Storm will be venomized and become a Knull's servant.

[COLOR="#000080"]Maybe you can use both but you have to use the sword for the kill shot. That's the only way you win.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="#000080"]I think the X portion of this story will probably play out in the Sword of Krakoa(?) series with Brand and the others.[/COLOR]
