[QUOTE=chief12d;5151638]Is it possible that when Storm's powers interacts with the sword it transforms into something more elemental? It has a similar hilt and color scheme as the Wakandan sword so I'm thinking they're related if not the same thing. Plus as we saw in those images for Marauders #13, the sword can project lightning-like energy.[/QUOTE]
yea definitely does interact with lightning but the base of that sword in the civer isn't as thick as the one ftom.the bp issue. unless the lightning causes it change shape or something

Well, seems i was right to be underwhelmed regarding that GS "storm" book. I feel like a story like that could've been done later down the road, I can tell Rob wanted to get the storm thing out the way so he can get back to the narrative at hand also i'm keeping my eye on issue 13 of that marauders book. I'm a storm fan but I'm BP fan as well so these chumps i call writers better not try to pull some slick stuff, seriously. I don't trust any of these X writers when BP and wakanda is involved it's like they have a vendetta against the mythos or something.

That’s beautiful, personally? I far prefer this to the previous picture of her with the sword, there is a real but subtle power in this portrayal.

this all of this! Mr. Coates did so much to repair their relationship i would be very disappointed if the xwriters went and tried to deconstruct his works but i most certainly wouldn't be surprised.

it was only her name on the book. it didn't say storm, fantomex, monet, etc. The title and covers only had storm on it. in fact many of the reviews after reading thw issue made the complaint that it wasnt enough storm. so I don't think your argument is truly a fair one. I think it would be more tru, your argument, for jean and emma giant size issue.

I guess thats part of my point. There wasnt enough of her bc it wasnt truly a Storm solo. The previews highlighted other characters and the lead in to this (Fantomex, alluded to that as well). It was a team book with the main plot centered around saving Storm

Of course reading the book it wasnt solely storm but essentially that is what the book was marketed as a storm book. The cover and title reflected that and again for those who expected it to be more of a storm book because of those things this is what their complaint was upon reading the actual story: that it didn't focus more on storm. So when considering this it strikes down your point. Also, everyone doesn't see the previews or buy books based upon that. I'm pretty sure most purchased the issue off the character who was title character.

Yeah kys i gotta agree with Havok83 on this. These GS books have been pretty meh plus this wasn't solely a storm issue if anything she was just the highlight of the story especially when you take into account that she didn't really do her thing till towards the end of the book. This book alone isn't real indication that storm as a character can rack the units.

thats fine to disagree but that is just like saying black panther isn't a solo book because it has an ensemble cast. the bottom of the line is that the title of the book wasnt xmen or storm and the xmen. it was called giant size: storm. the story featured her and centered around her. the fact that other characters appeared and that the story was meh doesn't take away from those primary facts.
I guess my question is do characters exist in a bubble and is it expected that even in solos they shouldn't or wouldn't interact with other characters?

and who is on the cover? who did the the story center around? because the xmen logo is much larger than her image right?
and not to get into English 101 but the colon is used to separate two different ideas where the second explains the first. so if we want to really break it down all indications point to the story being about storm. I mean how are we even arguing this?

in terms of BP is different because he's the main hero and the title on the book is Black Panther alone. In terms of this book it's an xmen title featuring storm not Ororro's hero title alone and another example is the Wolverine book, it's solely wolverine's name alone on the book and he's the main character of his own solo quest. It's no diss or anything my friend it's just pointing that this was a story storm was featured in but not the main title character and yeah storm is on the cover but that's no different than putting her or any other xmen character on the front page of the main xmen title

I guess if that were the case, that they could put any character on the cover and it would do just as well, the other giant size issues would do just as well, correct? so going with this logic I would assume the nightcrawler book, the fantomex book and the magneto book did just as well? i don't take it as a diss I just see it differently so we are all good here beloved!!
at any rate, i hope that this would demonstrate the potential that storm has to support a solo when this book that featured her face, name as well as storyline does better than some of the heavy hitters in both dc/marvel.

It's really sad to see some of y'all in here trying to diminish Storm's light and her potential to sell. Her face and her name sold this book period so just stop acting like it didn't.

Settle down bub, no one is diminishing storms anything. Yes storm was on the book so was her name but this was also an X-Men book, her light and potential will come down to a writer that decides to pick the character up as a "solo" act until then i suggest keeping ground level expectations. This little story she had was okay at best but it's noting to brag about storm or not, Don't take this personal. I feel some of yall get your hopes higher than a diabetics blood pressure, we're adults right, so you shouldn't be heated about criticism and there was nothing "sad" about what was said a while ago i'm sure you can handle a couple little gripes about one comic book. Let's not be bias here.
-
so you get to be dismissive of "heated criticism and dialogue" yet you also want us to not be so positive or hopefull?
yes we are all adults with serious real life business, so I WILL take joy in a storm centered title being top 5 best seller because I can't afford to be genuinly emotional about many things in my very adult life and silly unimportant comics make ME happy, only because your boring doesn't mean the rest of us have to be.

Alright pal settle down, the point of my previous comment was keeping your expectations low and the hype at face value. I said before in this thread that I don't and never will trust the x writers no matter the regime change plus I'm not afraid to be critical of a character and storm is no exception also let's keep personal stuff out of this equation shall we, no point in throwing around random generalizations of people you don't know outside the internet. Back to my point is I may be a storm fan but I'm also not bias and I'm aware of this forum we reside in but like any other fan I can see the positives and negatives, if this book made you happy that's fine but for me it's not about the emotions it's about can these writers deliver. This is just my opinion and no i didn't really like the GS storm book i thought it was underwhelming and the dialogue was pretty corny in some aspects plus these GSX books have felt rushed. Storm hasn't had any real development in these x men books sense that weirdo Claremont so of course I'm gonna be a bit sour grape in terms of how she's handle under this regime but that's just me.

Tbh your comment did come off as patronizing we understand that you didn't personally like the issue but a lot of Storm fans did like it (myself included) and a lot of Storm fans are happy and excited that first book she's headlined in years that actually has her name in the title has made it on the top 5 list.
So you coming in here basically saying people shouldn't be happy/hyped/ excited about that because YOU personally didn't like the issue is gonna be taken negatively.

The other GS issues did do well. Jean/Emma was #8 for its month, Nightcrawler was #23 , Magneto was #12, and Fantomex was #9. Nightcrawler didnt do as well but the rest were all comparable, hovering around Top 10 for total comics sold in a month

Naw, I understand where you coming from. If there was genuine respect for Storm the X-books would have moved her toward center of this universe. As it stands the center is professor x, Scott, Jean, and Magneto, also Emma and now Kitty. The hype and the energy is given to them and all others are kind of dumped in a team somewhere. Storm, much like Bishop is given a title/team but then is left to be someone's jock holder, cheerleader, or sidekick. Could it be worse, yes they could have been brought out just to be put on the shelf...(i.e. Synch, Darwin- also black characters, hmm?) Storm is great than the occasional crumbs fed to her.

Lol. That WAS quick wasn't it. Try to celebrate Storm selling well and it immediately was sorta shit on. If this sold poorly, I highly doubt people would be saying it was because it featured Fantomex or Doug too much. We know who would probably get the "blame."
