This is not how the cape looks with that costume.
Everyone forgets it was more of a poncho-cloak, and had a weird 'W' attachment to her bottom piece.

While I can't speak to her characterisation, as I'm not reading CotA (other than the prev-pages shown)...I'm most certainly not a fan of Chang's art style. How difficult was it to just research that costume specs, as Yoga, did? It's just a variant but still...

This made me think of Planet Size Xmen. Bought the last issue of guardians since someone in another thread mentioned it was a new jumping on point. And of course Ewing.

If finding new habitable planets is that big of deal imagine being able to create or repair them,. Restoring their balance.

I'm curious exactly what's next for storm. it needs to be big. I'm hoping storm goddesshood is explored. she needs to have a larger impact on the mu. with her seemingly joining the avengers team in marvels the potential for her to do greater things than taking interest in reject kids is probable.

All the little hints seem to point towards Storm creating a deep space exploration mission. Maybe making Mars their homebase.
And sadly I don't think Hickman and co. are all that interested in exploring her godhood at least not powerwise. But hey I could be wrong.

yes it is a shame. I would agree I do not think they are interested in telling that aspect of her character either.
[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5505315]yes it is a shame. I would agree I do not think they are interested in telling that aspect of her character either.[/QUOTE]
I came to grips with this. I do not think this will be explored in hickman's era of x-men or even the xbooks. And as sad as that is it makes sense. Unless she is given a solo to explore these themes she will not be given that indepth exploration into her lineage and her bloodline. The xbooks are sadly a bit too summer-wolverine oriented for that.
I'd say this X-era and HiX-Man's writing in general is plot-driven and not character-driven. And as such, spending time and effort and pages developing individual characters to the extent that we are asking of Storm...(and Jean, and Scott, and everybody's personal favourite)...will detract from "the plan/schedule". It's not like in the old days where a writer has unlimited amount of time to tell an unending series of stories about these characters...not even Claremont was given that, in the end.
It's not that they can't insert moments of depth and development and exploration...just that it's not going to be to the depth and breadth of what some might wish and hope for.

On that I will disagree why? Because some books though plot driven develop certain charachters the marauder book is a kate and friends show and fleshed her out a bit more, cable does so for cable and wolverine doesn't have charachter development because his charachter at this point has as much potential as a withered plant. Scott and jean got some powerful charachter moments during x of swords particularly jean and apocalypse had that entire event to himself. What I am saying is if a writer cares enough they will squeeze growth into the story regardless of weather it's pot driven or not. The problem I think with storm is that aside claremont I don't think anyone actually cares about the chatcher deeply as he does the closest being Coates. I suspected this at first but this line has confirmed it for me I see Storm's omega confirmation as a way to keep her massive fanbase engaged, whoow look she is not only an omega which is important but also a QC member and the resurrection leader announcer whatever. The only books that focus on her are mediocre at best. I have been with the school of thought that storm needs to leave the x-men for a while and nothing confirms that more than this line. Jean is back so obviously they will pick her development over storm's. It's weird to mention but it's true. I mean we have redheads existing million years ago all to make way for jean to have another connection to the phoenix. I think storm needs to go to a solo writer someone who understands the charachter I don't think vita does they write her as arrogant and a bit full of a herself which she isnt if you know the charachter she suffers from great insecurity especially in her early years. The x-men is a soap opera and in soap operas the romantic leads are well given priority over everyone else. And in this case said leads are jean and scott. I really doubt what they have in store for Storm will wow me in any capacity hopefully some decent feats but aside that I do not think it will be anything revolutionary. Well might as well go reread all of claremont's storm stories they are the best it's gonna get for a long while.

Kitty's development in Marauders and Jean and Scott's in XoS are character driven via the plot, yes, but certainly not on the scale or depth or level as exploring Storm's history and divine connections. And Goddess forbid, an X-writer half-asses that, because they have a greater story to consider...the vitriol! This thread will never hear the end of it.
Ideally, the best place to explore such a theme would be a Storm limited series. Where the focus is entirely on her, as it should be for that topic. But really, I think only Storm-fans (not even X-fans in general) are interested in that story.

Just let the people speulate in an appreciation thread. This is something i really try to do. Not every response in a thread needs to have water thrown on them. Is it really worth it.
I mean granted i'm not immune i've found myself about to post and signing out many a times. lol

Oh well, at least we have fan fictions thank God. Any of you talented authors on this thread can do us a favour and develop storms story with her lineage and all. Sometimes you have to bring the mountain to Mohammed.

you are absolutely right. the xoffices stated they had big plans for her but the summer is almost here and yet we still know nothing. I know writers are not obligated to acknowledge necessarily what another writer has done for a character but considering this development was so meaningful its frustrating that they wouldn't attempt to add some of this to whatever plans they have for her.

The only positive i can think is pushing back the release a month delays the trade release a month or so which since they are switching publishers and the new distributor is a black woman who is a big fan of BP it could mean better print ratio, into the hands of more people. I mean no good for me, but maybe good for you. lol But for me it could also mean a bigger push for the relaunch since, again supposedly she is a big BP fan. There was an article about her let me see if i can find it.

So from a business standpoint it could mean big things but it could mean nothing. But the potential is there.

Storm-bias aside, I think objectively speaking Storm has a lot of potential for solo adventures. She has connections to street level heroes and Harlem through her dad’s side, she has somewhat unexplored mystical roots through her mother’s side, she’s interesting visually, she has a versatile powerset, and as previously discussed on this thread I’m sure there’s some story to tell about her identity as a black woman. I think the main challenge of writing a Storm series would be finding villains that can challenge her because she’s so powerful (but hey Superman does it on a monthly basis so it must be possible).

Oh absolutely! I just don't know if any XM writers are currently thinking of her in those terms. at the moment. The X-Office as a group seem to be heavily invested in HiX-Man's direction and story which so far doesn't leave much room for such grand, focused, solo-character development.
