That last page looked like her sky self was getting full off a buffet of clouds.
[QUOTE=Wind Rider;5752858]I did. And I hope he didn't. I think they were checking "if he did"...so I am hoping that leaves room for two things:
- Loop is closed and no upgrades made because she really doesn't need them
- He did make an upgrade to justify her doing something that she currently can't (i.e. now she takes on elemental forms at will)
I think it gives the writers some creative development opportunities that are outside Storm's current norm.[/QUOTE]
I think he simply opened her to a deeper level of her potential.
Naaah but seriously I think he did something to her and her powers. Remember that after he yielded he said that she is of arakko and perhaps....perhaps of amneth. So what did he see within her that promoted him to make such a statement and what does it mean to be of amneth.
From its description amneth is home to daemons and primordial eldritch creatures and gods. The eldritch live or exist in amneth. So what does this mean for storm.
A really good issue, story-wise.
I always love seeing Storm go hand-to-hand but I just wish her fights would last a few pages longer than they do...this "one stroke and done" shit is anticlimactic and boring (I had the same complaint when she vs Death and vs Calisto. The most we've seen her do was against Hatemonger and that was just a reminiscence.) She's supposed to be a highly skilled fighter...I want to see that skill on full display, bloody hell.

it was also nice to see so many mutants of color. like the amplifyer from sword and isca features were in full effect.[/QUOTE]
Agreed! It felt great to see this is in a x-book, loved that e had strong black features for them, and w/ good uses of their panel time. They helped tell and push the story forward.

He could have seem her god abilities when he messed with her DNA...which could be interesting.
[QUOTE=Kingdom X;5752593]I don’t think you’re in the minority. We got to see Ororo use her powers in fun ways throughout the issue, adapt to Arrakki culture, and have some introspective character moments. It’s so rare for us to see Storm at the center of a story and we can get feats at literally any time.[/QUOTE]
Ok that’s good to hear and these are my sentiments exactly. All of what you said I agree with
[QUOTE=Idiopop;5752840]Did anyone catch the part where they said that Tarn upgraded her powers? How do yall feel about that. Storm didn’t seem too happy as she wants to prove that she’s good enough on her own without any outside intervention.[/QUOTE]
They didn’t say he upgraded her powers, they asked her if he did. I guess it’s in the air but not a definite yes.
I'll give you my opinion about the issue, which came out today. I apologize for the spelling mistakes, lol, English is not my strong suit, I just know the basics.
[Spoil]Although this issue has few things I didn't like, I loved it, Al Ewing's writing was impeccable, the way Ororo was written, imposing and fearless, with blood in her eyes, the Goddess does not bow to anyone.
This challenge, if you don't read a little more carefully and look at the expressions on each one's faces, will seem pointless, but Tarn was impressed by the Storm's willpower, couldn't stand Ororo's lethal and menacing gaze, so he gave up. . . I agree with some thoughts of the folks here, Al Ewing could have used the Divine part of Ororo, in the panels where she was without her powers, it was a waste, but I understand, it's not all flowers, some must be tired in just see Ororo using his fists ("Storm x Callisto") instead of powers, but this issue in particular, I liked it, Al Ewing shouldn't write everything at once in a single issue, I feel great achievements are coming in the issue where the Storm will face the Lethal Legion. And that moment of Ororo at the edge of space was amazing, it only fuels my desire to see more of Sword. Honestly, I'm enjoying this relationship of each mutant in the Ring of Arakko, although some deserve to be developed further.
And that ending, Tarn acknowledging that Storm is not from Krakoa (in his sense that Krakoa is fragile), but from Arakki...or rather, from Amenth (?), The dramatic pause he made before talking about Amenth, he analyzed it , what is it that Al Ewing is hiding lol
The design, the features were not so impeccable, but they were excellent, Ororo had the face of Michaela Coel in some panels.[/Spoil]

I have to say that I love how this issue had a little bit for everyone, can’t wait to lean more about the lethal legion as well….the art is the weakest element so far but the writing could certainly make up for it if it were to pick up a bit of pace, S.w.o.r.d. has suffered a lot due to fragmentation in the narrative flaw and that’s a total shame.
Here I made a little collage of Storm’s famous duels, I’m probably forgetting a lot of them but these are the main ones I could think of….

This issue was boss. Storm didn't go around just talking hot air nor threats. She walked in and discipline the $#!+ out of Tarn. Does Storm now hold two seats now due to the win or was this a slap on the wrist to Tarn?
Also seeing that version of her face in clouds should be a warning to us. Storm is on Arriko and I think she likes it.

I don't think he has altered the Storm's genetic structure. she had a checkup
When he said that she's probably from Amenth, I connected with the fact that she has a mystical heritage and that her mutated powers don't represent even 10% of her full potential. He questions her if she could win without her mutated powers and her facial expression of confidence and confidence coupled with the sarcasm of someone who was about to reply "but it's obvious" is all.
There is a version of Storm in Amazing Fantasy.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]114221[/ATTACH]
Also love seeing Frenzy and Storm in the same book Together.
One thing that I liked about Ewing is his Storm does not speak with contractions. That's always a tell if someone really knows Storm or not.

Sword I felt it started to increase as sales, after this issue, I hope it gets better now, Al Ewing is doing a good job.
Ah, that challenge with Tarn,I felt I had the same style as the X-treme tournament, they altered her biology and appearance to appear like a monster in both comics, maybe that's why lol.

Yes, she showed what she came for, and pranks are not one of them! As for Tarn, I don't think so, they were fighting for Storm's seat (which, by the way, should have shown more of her fight against that other Storm) But he ended up giving up, and also Tarn is very important to Arakko.
[QUOTE=BlkGldBlu;5752886]I was offended too ..lol.. But hopefully the art gets better.[/QUOTE]
Wait -- you mean the artist will stay? Ummm it took me more than 8 hours to get use to the "art" -- and we are not talking yet about the transfigurations that I wasnt ready for -- and went on without warnings -- well if he does yup at least the "art" improves --
What it took for me to at least not pull out my hair on Storm's alien/ transfigured (is that the right term) form
If I survived Kerrigan's transformation then I can survive Storm's potential DNA altered (as hinted/teased as plot) form -- prolly not the type of evolution Ive been thinking for years bur its not a bad idea that she does "become" somehow of Arakki in physical too -- but hopefully they give it to the right artist -- this one does not sit well on me since I personally wasnt ready and yup it takes time (at least) to get use to this -- and the artist confused the hell out of those panels -- if it happens hopefully the artist is really talented i had to go back to xtreme xmen to wash my eyes of it -- and when I still couldnt sleep I played Kerrigan video to make peace with what I just saw -- hey some people has triggers ahaha

Nahh the more I read the issue the more I am convinced he really did do something to her I don't think it was enhancement more like a push towards awakening. Like I look at when wizkid and frenzy were saying she is genetically the same, storm poses the question to khora whose eyes were glowing red and smiling. As it was established during ororo's fight with caldarek earlier, that khora's eyes glowing red allows her to see things on another level and she manipulates life force. I believe he did something or awakened something in her because that amneth comment really didn't come out of nowhere he said it after resetting her after looking inside. And he looked a bit scared worried and intrigued and this is a man that created beings that can end the universe easily. I also thought back to the xos event and the death card which indicates metamorphosis. I think this is going to lead to storm undergoing a big change in regards to her power and how she operates also her mindset. Because she did say when storms break they reveal their true face. In the begining she also says she is omega and more. Maybe the more is related to amneth in someway.
The best part of this issue for me was storm and her relationship to the arakko in full display. They fit sooo well and this just solidified why they need their own book to tell both their story. For storm is an arakkii.

Yes, but why would he "improve" Storm's biology when he had his eye on the title of Regent of Arakko? It makes no sense for a man who wanted to deny her to favor her in a certain way, having the opportunity to end her life, unless he has done something harmful and not beneficial. But I don't think so, if he was referring to her mystical abilities, it wouldn't make any difference do for him to change her genetic code, nor for harm or favor it. The magic is beyond your DNA ...
I finally had time to sit down and read the issue.
Things I liked:
-Storm being able to survive in space without outside aide.
-Storm showing all who doubted her that even when powerless and PAINFULLY disfigured she is still the baddest b1tch in all the 9 realms.
-The instant blizzard that snuffed out the volcano mutant. Haven't seen Storm use cold attacks in ages!
-The clone fight. I'm really hoping Ewing circles back to that since the last time Storm fought herself it was an epic battle.
-Yet another title to add to the list- Storm: The Uncaring.
Things I didn't like:
-The "art". Dearest mother of all the gods! PLEASSSSSE!
-Again with the depowering to show off her "badassness". I 1000% understand what he was trying to do on both parts, establish Storm's strength to the Arakkii and to any new readers (?) who may not be failure with Storm outside of the of X-Men.
Things I'm unsure of:
-Tarn.
I want to like him because holy sh!t his power is amazing, lol. But I hate that with a flip of a switch he can totally screw Storm or basically anyone over.
[B]Side note[/B]: I'd like to see him go against Elixir in terms of biology manipulation.

Tarn is a dangerous being and he loves danger. The more unstable and powerful something is the more interesting it is to him. Hence why his locus vile are soo powerful one can eat all time and can only be destroyed by a full on black hole. I think when he looked into storm he saw something more than omega power something that even transcends that. Hence why he said of amneth because amneth is home to the eldritch in marvel and eldritch is a whole can of worms soo extreme the induce madness in gods and man alike. I know amneth is home to gods too but eldritch are the only beings known to intrigue or even scare gods totally and tarn is also a god.
From Isca, tarn spent alot of time in amneth. I don't think storm is decended from an eldritch primordial but possessing something greater than even an omega power is stuff of nightmares even for a god like tarn. Hopefully we get a deeper dive into what tarn saw or possibly unlocked as khora was smiling and looking at storm when she asked if he had tampered with her. And he had a questionable expression on his face as he left her in the circle. Also remember xos marauders where someone said there was a power in storm that was more than the weather stuff. A power that gave him utter assurance that no matter what they would be saved. I don't think that was a simple metaphor I think that power is what knull might have been referring too when
he said she was the most powerful of all his avatars even the omega level charachters and full blown gods like cosmic Thor, hulk and Dr strange, the void....etc.
There is something there maybe the hadari yao or the godhead is not all it seems but something much much much different much older.
Or maybe I am reaching, anyways I still think it's worth discussing.
Also a good example of an eldritch is the black winter.

He would beat elixr he is not only more adept but also much smarter. Also I think tarn is more gene manipulation rather than biology as a whole. Whilst I think elixr is more healing and destruction. I like tarn and his power it's easily the most overpowered when you think about it. Also lodus logos can literally manipulate reality with his words! The arakii omega mutants are insane!
I loved when he conferred his own title to storm. That might be the biggest sign of respect tarn has ever shown.

Ok so Tarns power is not biological manipulation. Elixir is the omega in that field. There’s no one stronger.
Tarns power is specifically “mutant genetic manipulation” so he can manipulate the biology of any mutant so technically he would beat Elixir in a fight only because his mutant genetic manipulation is stronger.

Yeah, I was just curious lol. Say if he didn't un-do what he did to Storm, would Elixir be able to fix her without her having to go through the resurrections process.

So, according to Wiz-Kid everything was ok with Storm, and when Frenzy questions if he has leveled up like her skills, changed her age and stuff like that, she claims no because she would be an insult, and that despite knowing that the Arakko's people expect a lot from a leader, she was fine as she was, and said she knows a storm even broken (i believe she was talking about herself, figuratively). Storm knows herself better than anyone, she knows when something's wrong, both with her and with her abilities. About Tarn seeing something in her, I also follow the same line of reasoning, that's why he didn't kill her, maybe because he realized he couldn't or there would be big consequences, it's still sub-understood. I hope that in the future Ewing will have time to explain this plot in a more elaborate way, it needs an unfolding. It piqued readers' curiosity, now we're all wondering what Storm's connection to Amenth is, and why Tarn entertained the hypothesis that she was a creature belonging to such a realm.
But perhaps you may be right, as there is some basis in what you say. But I don't know why, I still think this puzzle is missing pieces.

I would be happy to see it come out and play. I mean the last time we really saw Storm go all out has been how long? Rogue Storm?
I have a question for the Storm thread. In the S.W.O.R.D. #8 review thread a few posters (or maybe just one) mentioned that when Tarn took away Storm's mutant abilities she should have used her goddess abilities. I know she is a goddess but I did not know she had abilities associated with that title/state. Would someone be kind enough to tell me how her goddess abilities differ from her mutant abilities please? Thanks in advance.

Friend this is a question that is intriguing us. We are raising hypotheses, and one of them is that Storm did not see the need to use her divine powers because she herself claims that just a knife would be enough to end his life, the second of the hypotheses is that he realized he could not kill storm as there is much more to her than just her mutant powers, her mystical side for example... that's why he said that she probably also belongs to Amenth.
from my perspective both her mutant abilities and divinity are tied to her DNA. when that was changed her access to those abilities were lost as well. that said, instances that directly are target to her xgene such as mutant depressing tech she should still have access to her goddess powers. in regards to how they differ, one is based in natural/physical realm the other is based in magic/faith/divine realm.

You know I'm pretty sure this isn't the case at all, and not remotely what Ewing was trying to convey, but what if the reason why Storm was only half mutated is because only half of her is mutant and Tarn couldn't touch the other half?

That jump in sales had nothing to do with Storm though. Even though she was on the cover, was the main point in the synopsis, and preview. Storm had nothing to do with that boost. Delusional, I say. Delusional!
[QUOTE=Subliminally;5754578]I would be happy to see it come out and play. I mean the last time we really saw Storm go all out has been how long? Rogue Storm?[/QUOTE]
it has been far too long. That is for sure. lol
[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5754712]from my perspective both her mutant abilities and divinity are tied to her DNA. when that was changed her access to those abilities were lost as well. that said, instances that directly are target to her xgene such as mutant depressing tech she should still have access to her goddess powers. in regards to how they differ, one is based in natural/physical realm the other is based in magic/faith/divine realm.[/QUOTE]
I disagree here. In the sense that Tarn specifically says he turned off her mutant powers. Also beyond that it seems only mutants can challenge for the throne of Arrako so even if Storm did use goddess powers it would have been cheating.

if it wasn't about Storm, what was it about? Because everything was connected to her, from the synopsis to the plot '--'

This actually makes ALOT of sense. He does specifically say he took her mutant powers "but just in case." So what was he trying to do and what was the just in case about.
