[QUOTE=loke13;5600336]Ok Fanboy time.
I freaking loooooved this issue definitely my favorite out pf the whole Gala. Ewing is freaking amazing and would love for him to takeover the reigns after Hickman my goddess!
I love the verbal smack down that Frenzy gave Nova it was giving "So it's true you really do think you're pretty" vibes lol
I loved Magneto and Wanda reunion glad Ewing cleared that mess up.
And last but not least STORM the Goddess herself! Like other's have said that once page was just chockful of references to important moments in Storm's life and Storm putting the nail in Doom's ego was delicious esepcially given their history with each other. Amd the Hadari Yao name drop!!!!! Literally this was a good day.[/QUOTE]
yes it was an excellent issue. Hickman knocked this out of the park for sure!!
[QUOTE=Sdawg;5600355]Can I just say again this has me so excited? I've just been thinking about how powerful this one page is and how it means so much for Storm's character. One thing I've been thinking about that could be explored perhaps is how the galactic core/acanti feat could potentially mean so much more and give a possible deeper reason to why Storm highlighted it. Perhaps, from the energies released in that moment, just perhaps, the makings of life emerged (like a modern day big bang) and Storm could literally be considered the "Bright Lady" in that region of space, which would make her ride with the Acanti even more legendary and perhaps grant her far more allies across the cosmos than she could have even imagined, which would be quite handy given her new role. It would create a meaningful dichotomy to the story of Phoenix, as in one moment many lives were destroyed, but in the other many lives "began".[/QUOTE]
it is crazy how we as fans just saw that feat as a moment and never ever dreamt it could mean so much. the idea of that huge moment bringing life to a part of that galaxy is a great one and is a nice contrast to what phoenix during that time had done. love this input you made boo.

welcome to the storm thread friend!
[QUOTE=Stormultt Divine;5600382]I liked how smug and just generally jerky the galactic council was until Storm arrived to let them know whats up. Namor underestimated mutants before and now Storm has rule over an entire system. Im stoked for more![/QUOTE]
I want to see more of the world's and the galaxy's reaction to this announcement. it was so extra and I love it.

Honestly I'm really trying to understand why Xavier and Magneto even want Namor on their team? What exactly does he bring to the table? He's a volatile asshat with an ego the size of Mars.
I hope he tries to step to Storm the way he's steps to Magneto in the Xavier he might just find the oxygen leeched from his body.

I mean compared to the resources of an entire planet that now houses millions of mutants with its own massive orbiting Space Station 1, Special space metal that doubles as adamantium 2.0 and will also solve the economic crisis in the galaxy. Color me not impressed. Besides that army of his already got bodied by a bunch of Wakandans once.
Namor is officially a big fish in a small pond.

That's what makes this moment so powerful. It has definitely opened the door to so many potential story lines and things to explore. I just keep thinking of more and more as I think about this ONE panel. I really hope they continue to capitalize on this moment and continue to develop more depth in her character. I won't share all of my thoughts here but there are many lol.

Alright, now it's my turn to give my thoughts on this little issue. Now I will say this first off, it was cool to see Storm get her shine and all but now where do we go from here. As a Black Panther fan i trust Al Ewing in Storms progression but "Regent of Sol" to me is another title thrust upon a character that has been given several titles throughout her history as a marvel character so I am not impressed. I'm not over hyping this like the rest of yall but it's good that you all have something to eventually look forward to so congratulations, now in terms of the story I will say this and that is i never really cared for the mutants semantics so the terraforming of mars is not that impressive compared to say a Country that has 5 galaxies under they're belt which was brought up in the book of course this isn't a competition just pointing it out. I do however am in favor of Krakoa getting recognition for what they've accomplished as a nation and no ill will on my part but we'll see how long this last, now in terms of Ro that little showcase was adorable and all but now it time to see how this goes so I'm saving any hype i feel i have for when things really get real. (Side-note) it was good to see Wanda and Magneto embrace each others presence, Wanda was never a pretender because she believed in Magnetos vision at one point for mutants before the powers that be made changes. So otherwise this issue for me is a solid 8.

I think they should fill the position in her court and be more focused on the planet itself. It's a big planet i am expecting space immigrants for sure. Mars is a huge planet to only be populated by a million mutants. Also i notice in sword it was pointed out there are mutant space beings as well. Something we already knew. But mars may become a safe place for intergalactic mutant refugees.

I don't think anyone ia overhyping the moment. Thw moment is appropriately hype lol we've got an xwriter (Ewing no less) cementing the fact that Storm is a BAMF an intergalactic societies KNOW IT. Not mention finally referencing Coates run on BP by name dropping Hadari Yao while ALSO having Storm take the wind out of Doom's sails by announcing herself Regent of an ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM like how is that not a big deal? That's a far cry from the little thief in Cairo.
And you say it's not a competition but I can't help but feel you making the comparison. I really don't understand why some people are trying to downplay what Krakoa has accomplished tbh. All of these Intergalactic societies have had thousands and thousands of years to develop including Wakanda. In less than a year the mutants went from being an endangered species to becoming a superpower Nation on Earth who terraformed Mars in hours ( a feat that even the galactic Council recognized as impressive because usually it should a little over a year.) And then managed to thrust Earth onto the intergalactic stage while solving the intergalactic financial crisis. Once again the nation of Krakoa isn't even a year old yet.

Something tells me Storm is going to get her own book (hopefully written by Ewing) after Inferno is over and whatever the new status quo is gonna look like. The whole AI plotline with Storm and the CotV still needs to be resolved too.
Also can we bring back Death from Otherworld? I actually really liked their chemistry during X of Swords.

Please no Death. you can cheat on the goddess, you can deny her a sword, you can even try to put her in a corner, hell you can lock her in living chrome, but what i can't forgive is underestimating her.

I was under the belief too that a solo book may be further down the pipeline to dug deeper into this new title. her being the queen if an entire planet including some arrakii who may not be fully behind her throne I think would be an interesting story to read.
I think we are going to get an evil clone at some point due to the ai plotlibe but that will be interesting as well and death will surely come a knocking at some point. this new title will definitely put a huge target on her back so im nervous and excited at the same time.

[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5600576]why won't you share. you are in a safe place lpl.[/QUOTE]
LOL!!!! Well I kind of like speculating about possibilities and sometimes I think just because I put them out there they will never happen because the writers are paying attention LMAO JK!
But another thing that I started thinking about from this was Storm's evolution into a elemental being. I was intrigued by the way that she was drawn as kind of like half and half. Then, I also thought about XMEN Giant Size: Storm and how she talked about the importance of this existence and I came to the conclusion that Storm may never fully transcend into a elemental being but not because she can't but because she chooses not to. What I mean by this is, she WILL definitely do it, but it will be a state that she will only call upon (much like her goddess power) when she needs to. The reason I think this is important is because people have highlighted how Storm has so many titles, but part of this is because Storm is the literal embodiment of all walks of life. She is the meeting point between the Gods and humanity. Therefore, if she were to fully transcend, she would lose all that makes her human. It is Storm's ability to connect despite her place and power that makes her a truly great character. She can strike the fear of god in you and still be your best friend. So I think we may see her access new heights but never fully give into it. I think part of her arc has been learning how to keep a balance. I think in Rogue Storm, Storm got just a taste of her power unleashed and perhaps due to Jean's folly was possibly afraid of it and refrained from accessing that power again. Now after the events of BP I think she understands that power and the responsibility she holds with that power better. She is willing to access that power more often and in new ways, and realizes that simply not using that power doesn't grant one any more control over it. I think this is where her indomitable will comes into play. She has had this tested by holding all of Eternity before. She may finally be the one who is able to not only have great power, but not be consumed by it.
There's more but this is enough for now LOL!

[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5598737]Well hello friends!!! I hope you all are well and have had a chance to read today's issue of S.W.O.R.D. Did it live up to all the hype?
Today is truly a day of celebration for me. Around three years ago, I created a petition after what I noticed what appeared to be a purposeful effort by the xoffices to ignore the development Ta-Nehisi Coates had detailed in his BP run relative to Storm.
[url]http://chng.it/ngKLCbcV[/url]
I recall talking to Marc Guggenheim at my lcs in person at the time regarding the her development and he told me he wasn't aware of what was occurring in the BP books but that he didn't think she was an actual goddess. Added to this there were also some within the comic community, including Storm fans, who said what happened in BP was fan fiction and that if it wasn't acknowledged by the xoffices then it wasn't canon. In fact, some comic sites, particularly CBR, seemed to purposeful ignore this development. There had even been instances where moderators of sites would ban storm fans or all users of certain forums to ridicule her fans who asserted she was a goddess.
Well fast-forward to 06/23/21, some three years later an Al Ewing Finally and explicitly referred to her as being Hadari Yao. In an xbook her biggest development wasn't referenced in an ambiguous but he had herself claim the name demonstrating she has fully accepted the title and what all comes with it. I must say after all the work we storms did and all the unnecessary drama we've endured this victory is so amazing to finally experience. So with that thank you Mr. Ewing for doing what I felt early on you would do. I'm forever in your debt for shutting up all the haters who wished to diminish what Coates had worked so hard to do for Storm. It is a great day to be a storm fan!!!!

I have to say as I said before, now that Storm truly has her own important place in the MU, and hopefully further development based off of it, I wouldn't have any issues with the couple. I wouldn't rush it, give Storm some time to develop in her role first and then get back to it. But now, Storm and T'Challa could truly become that power couple that many people are hoping for and be a true symbol and example for the Earth as a whole on finally unifying humans and mutants in truly harmonious ways. This could be so huge and I don't feel like either character would be overshadowed by the other given their new positions in the MU. Instead, I believe in this case, their union could only amplify the other. That being said, I'm not really in any rush to pair her off with anyone just quite yet.
Someone mentioned a Storm solo. Still have my fingers crossed for this too.

Lmao that's fair but I'm a sucker for the "man underestimates woman" trope so I hope we get some more interactions if only to show her the proper respect.

Kyss - Ths issue lived up t every bit ogf the hype you mentioned! Along with her many titles over the years, this one, the Regent of Sol, is just so fitting. And offer so much potential for growth, development, agency and prominence for Storm. I have been more than ready for her to stand amongst the most powerful and influential figures in the MU and make her mark, especially on behalf of mutants (but all those oppressed in the sol system).
[QUOTE=Jackraow21;5599947]Cable. Beyond that it doesnÂ’t really matter to me. :)[/QUOTE]
I can totally get behind that team-up. It's been so long since we got to see them interact on panel but there was a great chemistry and respect between them during Onslaught and the first solo run. If I could have a "Sol Inner Circle" for Storm it would be Cable, Exodus, Mystique (weird but I have some thoughts on this choice), Forge, Darwin and Blink.
SWORD #8 cover looks EPIC. A very good week for Storm fans all around :)!

Alright, it seems some of you misinterpreted my previous post and it seems i have to explain myself. My overall review of this sword book was positive and i was speaking for myself as i always do from an unbias perspective and it seems the only one that understood was Jwatson. If anyone has payed any attention from recent post is I am not easily impressed and i don't have overwhelming expectations but i give props when props are due, the thing i ask from this is consistency which is why i said the whole "regent of sol" thing is irrelevant to me until i see results worth talking about but until then it's just a title. I'm not trying to ruin anyone's mood or excitement and you don't have to like what i say but uh it is what it is, maybe i come off too harsh but trust me it's coming from the right place. Y'all cool and all but i ain't sugar coating nothing for no one.

But we arent just talking about the regency we are talking about mutantdom and it is impressive... Considering they are less than a year old having a death star orbiting the sun doing everything it can to destroy them, the nations, billionaires, supervillains and even heroes who want them to fail and are obstacles. What they have done is impressive and they must be proud. I mean the galactic empire of wakanda was not even built by wakanda prime in the first place they simply found out about a rouge wakandan empire that was out there and conquered it though with great effort but he had all the help in the black hero world including the might of storm helping him and supporting him. None of such goodwill has been given to the mutants it's either they are fetishized or hated there are few who just simply want them to do well. Wakanda had thousands of years to develop and they have and it's amazing but krakoa rising from near extinction to build a nation, terraform a planet and dominate the entire intergalactic economy in little than a year is way more impressive with how their going if mystique doesn't mess it up they could have a bigger empire than even wakanda in little over 10 years.

My first impression of that scan was me realizing they're drawing her as being part of the elements now. I know it's kind of like the running pattern they've been doing with her latest costume. First the cape, and now her hair. But tbh, I don't know if that's a subtle hint they're giving us. But then again, I'd be giving the writers too much credit for that.
She's always a glass canon, and that's what really is anchoring her right now as being mortal. Even way back when the Omega conditions were different (pre-retcon), it was the only criteria that held her back from being one. If she manages to shift into a full elemental being that's durable and resilient, or at least shift into it temporarily, she'd be checking all the boxes.
And the potential for her elemental form...ahhh...imagine being able to transform to any of the elements she controls. Transforming to air, moisture, electricity, mist, heat, cold, solid ice, etc. This is what I LOVED about Bloodstorm. It gave her some durability by avoiding damage through mist.
-
Storm showed Up and shot Doom down! (you just know he's back in Latveria butt-hurt and sulking.) And I LOVED it!
Personally, though...her appearance in PS:XM was more awesome as she did so much more, power wise. In SWORD she just made a grand pronouncement...one that we ALL had guessed since last week. So yupp...STUNNSATIONAL splash page entrance but not quite as impactful as her PS:XM showing, imo.
I'm very excited and looking forward to see where Ewing is going with the Regent of Planet Arakki.
-
To me sword was bigger. For me it felt like the culmination of all doubt Storm may have ever had. This is the first time Storm has accepted all her roles and we know Storm is an all in type. To me it wasn't about other fans and what they think or not but for Storm to lay claim to what she is and will be forevermore. I loved she got to claim them herself rather than be announced or see it on a data page. It moved her character forward from an arc that has existed since Xavier came to see her in Africa.
She IS a Goddess and an Omega mutant. Now it's like, next topic. lol Both in comics and out.

I do not believe it is redundant. if anything it shows just because storm is toed to this new nation wakanda is still independent and will go their own path despite ororo being a big part of their society.
[QUOTE=Wind Rider;5600747]Kyss - Ths issue lived up t every bit ogf the hype you mentioned! Along with her many titles over the years, this one, the Regent of Sol, is just so fitting. And offer so much potential for growth, development, agency and prominence for Storm. I have been more than ready for her to stand amongst the most powerful and influential figures in the MU and make her mark, especially on behalf of mutants (but all those oppressed in the sol system).
I can totally get behind that team-up. It's been so long since we got to see them interact on panel but there was a great chemistry and respect between them during Onslaught and the first solo run. If I could have a "Sol Inner Circle" for Storm it would be Cable, Exodus, Mystique (weird but I have some thoughts on this choice), Forge, Darwin and Blink.
SWORD #8 cover looks EPIC. A very good week for Storm fans all around :)![/QUOTE]
hey boo I'm soooo happy it lived up to the hype! It truly was a joyous occasion and it nicely tied up some of her memorable moments in ONE FREAKING PANEL. I've heard so many great things about Ewing but he totally lived up to the all that has been said with this issue for me. I'm still on cloud 9.

Congrats to Storm Fans on this day! ^_^[/QUOTE]
thank you boo!!! its been so long overdue!!!! its good to see you friend!
[QUOTE=Sdawg;5600675]LOL!!!! Well I kind of like speculating about possibilities and sometimes I think just because I put them out there they will never happen because the writers are paying attention LMAO JK!
But another thing that I started thinking about from this was Storm's evolution into a elemental being. I was intrigued by the way that she was drawn as kind of like half and half. Then, I also thought about XMEN Giant Size: Storm and how she talked about the importance of this existence and I came to the conclusion that Storm may never fully transcend into a elemental being but not because she can't but because she chooses not to. What I mean by this is, she WILL definitely do it, but it will be a state that she will only call upon (much like her goddess power) when she needs to. The reason I think this is important is because people have highlighted how Storm has so many titles, but part of this is because Storm is the literal embodiment of all walks of life. She is the meeting point between the Gods and humanity. Therefore, if she were to fully transcend, she would lose all that makes her human. It is Storm's ability to connect despite her place and power that makes her a truly great character. She can strike the fear of god in you and still be your best friend. So I think we may see her access new heights but never fully give into it. I think part of her arc has been learning how to keep a balance. I think in Rogue Storm, Storm got just a taste of her power unleashed and perhaps due to Jean's folly was possibly afraid of it and refrained from accessing that power again. Now after the events of BP I think she understands that power and the responsibility she holds with that power better. She is willing to access that power more often and in new ways, and realizes that simply not using that power doesn't grant one any more control over it. I think this is where her indomitable will comes into play. She has had this tested by holding all of Eternity before. She may finally be the one who is able to not only have great power, but not be consumed by it.
There's more but this is enough for now LOL![/QUOTE]
1. I must say I would agree the writers certainly are paying attention. A good friend of mine way back when used to discuss how storm was a goddess and omega on battle forums. He would use this as an argument to support why storm would be some of the heaviest of hitters in the MU and was eventually banned by mods for doing that. Now look at where we are. Confirmed Omega-Level Mutant and finally officially confirmed as the Hadari Yao in the xbooks.
2. Yes I agree with your points made. Storm has never been that woman who was power hungry because she does value her humanity but as you mentioned i believe what she experienced with the Wakandans showed her the beauty that having such power can be and a blessing it can be for others. I do want her to be able to transition to an elemental being but I would want it to also mirror when she goes goddess mode in which she only taps into that ability when it is absolutely necessary It seems Ewing had her flexing a bit because there was no point in her going semi elemental in that moment. Ororo understands her audience and though she isn't moved play power she knows that this is not true for others, such as Doom. It would appear her message was heard loud and clear .

[QUOTE=jwatson;5600988]To me sword was bigger. For me it felt like the culmination of all doubt Storm may have ever had. This is the first time Storm has accepted all her roles and we know Storm is an all in type. To me it wasn't about other fans and what they think or not but for Storm to lay claim to what she is and will be forevermore. I loved she got to claim them herself rather than be announced or see it on a data page. It moved her character forward from an arc that has existed since Xavier came to see her in Africa.
She IS a Goddess and an Omega mutant. Now it's like, next topic. lol Both in comics and out.[/QUOTE]
What’s really important is the X-office acknowledged all of her roles. She is a Queen and a goddess and at times when the X-office was stale she was essentially too big for them. But I’m happy to see this is what Saturnyne meant by the goddess turning to the stars. I know some were upset to see Storm break up with T’Challa. But better Queen/goddess of Mars as opposed to Queen/goddess of Wakanda.
I had no problem with her being in Wakanda when the X-office wasn’t using her. But now? This is amazing!

tensions between the two and the country are there but this doesn't constitute a breakup.

Ditto. Their relationship is strained atm but they made an example to NOT break them up.
Considering how Marvel annulled their marriage if they wanted them broken up it would be under no uncertain terms.

What i find intriguing and a potential conflict is what happens when she visits the intergalatic empire. I mean for all intents and purposes she is regonized as one of their goddesses now be it ill or not and while i don't think Storm would take advantage of that unless she absolutely needed to it will be interesting to see how that plays out. Politically we know Wakanda is wakanda and as such they made the right choice for wakanda but i mean like the everyday citizens.

we never actually see the the intergalatic empire representative respond to storm announcing herself; however, we do know they do not accept Abigail's offer even after this is revealed. so it will be interesting to see them interact though I would imagine with her dealings with wakanda thus far she isn't surprised by this decision.

They were still together after the vote on Krakoa so i don't think the vote is a big deal at all. I just meant how people will feel about her legacy. They can respect her as a goddess but know their king is the law so i just meant like little personal thoughts. The Queen of Wakanda Prime now the Queen of Sol. I wonder how Thor and others will respond as well. We could be eating so good the table may not be able to support the weight. lol. Tony Stark must have some things to say i mean in a lot of ways he kind of was advocating this when he said he wouldn't want to go up against her.
Yooo as i'm typing this all the pieces are coming together even Curse of the Manthing, the feat with Thor, Tony saying she was able to pull together all the heavy hitters on Earth. Queen of Sol. lol
Xavier's the "goddess of" heres a crumb
Knull: Most powerful avatar. "heres another crumb.:
Curse of "Good to be a storm god." a whole slice of bread
Finally culminating in her claiming the whole damn cake. lol
You boy Coates did Storm a solid.

She broke into the most sacred territory in the kingdom, beat up T’Challa’s sister, and he tells her not to return while burning a Krakoan gate. How in the name of Bast are they still together lol. The next week they had Storm flirting with Wolverine and it’s clear as day the events of the Coates run’s end take place well before XOS since it was supposed to come out before Marauders #13.
The writer for the BP KIB tie-in says even if you’re not with your significant other anymore it doesn’t mean you stop loving them implying that by the time his story takes place Storm and T’Challa are no longer together. There’s certainly room for reconciliation between them as like I said there’s probably still love between them and T’Challa says Storm can eventually return but on Wakandan terms.
But given how things shook out it’s rather obvious they’re not seeing each other, which is further confirmed when Coates in an interview says they can date other people, suggesting they’re little more than friends with benefits.

Remember Tchalla is Emperor now you better put some respect on his name lol.
But in all seriousness yes I agree that beyond their reverence for her they will always put the interest of the galactic empire above all, which should be expected. I dont think Ororo would take this personally in any way. Now I'm very interested to see some of the other heroes response to this news. Namor, Thor, IM, Tchalla (she still hasn't said one word to him yet), Fury, maybe even Medusa, etc. and yes only the queen of sol could bring people together like she can.

If things were really that sour they wouldn't have been at the gala dancing and Storm certainly wouldn't still be appearing in the next run of BP. I know you don't want them together but this is super saiyan level reaching lol.
