I just had to come back for one more post after reading new mutants or i wouldn't be able to get it off my mind. Vita is just everything. Everything. I would pay anything to read a Vita Storm solo. Just wow.

[QUOTE=Devaishwarya;5557183]In the promo for Reign of X there's Storm holding a Mysterium tetrahedron which SWORD has been mining and is out in space where Storm is setting her eyes so...[B]why would anyone think she'd be starring/leading in HiX-Man's unreleased book in September?[/B][/QUOTE]
To be fair....
we see all these white heroes in 50 books at the same time and no one questions it.
Reis' Storm is beautiful

It sucks we’re not getting a new Storm solo this year but it should be coming soon. She’s due for another it’s already been 7 years. Her other solos have all been between 8-10 years apart so I’m expecting her to get it before 2025. It’s ridiculous we have to wait so long in the first place but it is what it is :/. I just hope the writer is good.

I dont think she will. Coates is seemingly out of Marvel. He's headed to Hollywood. The arr others who want to write it, but I don't think they have the name recognition yet to launch a title.

Vita Ayala seems to be getting pushed pretty hard with COTA and New Mutants. Plus the Static reboot with Milestone. She’s a huge fan of Storm too. Definitely not a tent pole writer yet but within the X-fandom she’s pretty well received so maybe a Storm solo is possible under Ayala sometime.
Though if that happens I don’t expect it to follow up on any of Coates’ work with the character.
let's see what these big plans are xoffices because now you have no excuse. no solo so it seems it was just more hot air as usual.
I just have to say after X-men 20 i am so glad Duggan and Vita protected Storm and if what we got so far is what we got i'm good. I kind of have lost the steam for the gala now as well. A lot of thoughts on the run and todays x-men issue adds a lot context to things for me. Hopefully something is in the work with Storm but i think i'm pulling back to just the Ewing, Vita, Duggan books.
[QUOTE=dirtynun;5556964]I don't know about y'all but I never quite cared for the big plans they were talking about. Unless I see it in action I won't believe it. But what hurts is that many of our fellow storm fans thought that this was going to change but ultimately it won't. Xavier/magneto dynamic being centered I get but the summers/grey clan is what baffles me. Like seriously how? They pushed this wired random narrative that cyclops is special whilst his more amazing brothers were right there one being a freaking omega. Jean too I love her but like what is happening aside the x-men red she has been relegated to pre pheonix era. The more interesting summers Rachel has been demoted from omega.
But storms lack of exploration by the xoffice is a strange thing their most popular female charachter and second most popular charachter you would think would get some love but she just feels like she is there to be there. I said previously that I believe storm is being given these accolades to appease her fans oh she is QC member, oh she is badass, oh she is the most powerful knull avatar..... And I am like ohk if she is this awesome show it not tell it. But her purpose there is to mitigate backlash for no inclusion ultimately just like most if not all poc charachters. If claremont don't love storm soo much I don't think she would have been as iconic as she is today.[/QUOTE]
yes you were absolutely right to hold these thoughts. its more of the same. storm is just a glorified foot soldier nothing more in the xbooks. oh unless you think her greeting mutants upon resurrection is cute whoopee!!! 2 years and still nothing for storm in the xbooks and fans love it, and in BP she's a goddess and storm fans complain? its all so very silly. xoffices need to show us because as it relates to storm everything I've seen so far has fallen really flat.
yes Claremont is the only reason she is what she is today thankfully we got that at least right?

I hope vita doesn't get anywhere near a solo. no thanks.

Well she’s probably the best bet lol. And say what you will about her contrived way of writing, but she always does her best to center Storm and portray her as a strong leader. I wouldn’t read the book but I think she’d tell a story the majority of Storm fans would appreciate.
But it’s more likely the character ends up in Ewing’s SWORD which is arguably better. It’s ironic that he does a better job with POC characters than Vita and pretty much every non-white writer at Marvel lol.
I'll admit that it was pure speculation that Hickman would write Storm in the Fall, but what I don't get is why they're keeping her transfer to SWORD so close to the vest.
To reveal the results of the fan vote, the entirety of the new X-Men team, AND that there will be a murder at the Gala but not that Storm is going to space seems counterintuitive.

Vita not being the best Storm writer does not equal them not being able to write POC's. The majority of the New Mutants cast is non-white and I think the characterization there is great.
[SIZE=1]This is not me advocating for a Vita written Storm solo, I'm just not a fan of over-generalized statements.[/SIZE]

her writing specifically the contrived part is why I dont think vita would do her justice. storm was behaved like a petulant child the first time I witnessed storm under their pen so no thanks. then storm in cota was a hot mess too. I'm totally good on vita and no one could pay me to pick up a book with vita as the writer. I'm sure some like it but I'm not one.

agreed im not sure why all the mystery if anything, as you stated, the mystery should have been who was going to be the new xmen member voted in by fans.

Yea Storm must have a big story in SWORD if they’re being so quiet about it. But it’s still possible she ends up on whatever Hickman project he does. It’s nearly halfway through the year and we still have very little idea of what the plans are lol, give us the title she’ll be appearing in at least lol.
I don’t base my assessment of Ewing’s superior writing of POC characters based off Vita not being the best Storm writer. I think Vita does fine with POC characters, including Storm. I just think he’s a better writer than her in general and virtually every non-white writer at Marvel.
But unlike other talents like say Ben Percy (who’s been underperforming on X-Force), Ewing goes out of his way to highlight his POC characters, which means he tends to do a better job of characterizing and developing them than most everyone in the industry (regardless of race).

assuming storm is going to sword that would be welcome news as al will surely do her justice but I dont equate a shift in teams that noteworthy. maybe we all have different definitions on what "big" means but for me again the time for talk is over. I'm ready to see what these big plans are.
