So many people saying Storm sounded like a cultist. I think she came across as a proud leader of a movement and culture. By leading the ceremony, evaluating and presenting the resurrected mutants-- it showed how important she is to the X-Men and the mutant society on Krakoa. She doesn't have to be a field leader to be among the most respected leaders in their society. She was also playing an important role by creating social solidarity among the mutants by leading the celebration of a pivotal moment in mutant culture and history.
So far Hickman is doing way better with 'Ro than Red, imho. lol
I mean I guess I can see some of the cult vibe criticism, but Storm is a goddess and has a spiritual side/history anyways. She has been worshiped as a goddess and has been/is an actual goddess. So, surely we can forgive her for giving into religious-like zeal on such a special occasion. It was what the moment called for and she delivered!
It was my favorite part of today's issue.
I agree.
I honestly saw this more as a Tribal type thing. I thought Hickman wrote Storm's Voice VERY WELL. She only rallied the People of Krakoa and gave them voice to make them feel proud of being a mutant. That's the whole point. Mutants being afraid to Scream "I am a Mutant" in public. Storm is a natural born leader and one of the figure heads that many X-Men look up too and respect. Storm giving the people of Krakoa the confidence and courage with her speech as a Goddess she is makes sense to me. I don't know where this Cult stuff, and this Storm seems weird and what not is coming from...I loved this scene with Storm. Her talk with Scott and Jean was beautiful and hearkens back to classic X-Men.
If, Being proud of your nation and heritage and to scream it out loud makes you a cultist?! LOL then WOW...

someone likened this speech to how she sounded during the morlock era. I want to read it again and see if my initial reaction changes for me as when I initially read it her voice sounded off but I think you make some great points. my personal favorites were Jean/cyclops and how they related to ororo. they were very tender and this is more of what I wanted to see when these characters first were resurrected.

Did you see the Marauders solicits for #3 and #4. It appears that the Hellfire Club has two queens. I am seriously guessing that Storm is the new Black Queen of the Hellfire Club and actually co-leading the HFC with Emma.

Deep in my secret heart I would love for it to be Jean, just because of all the drama it would cause on the forums to have Jean and Emma working closely together as allies.
But to me it should be Storm, and I don't think it matters that Kitty is Captain of the ship. A lot of times in the old days the owner's representative was on the ship and while at Sea the Captain was the absolute authority. But at port in negotiations often it was the owner's representative that made all the decisions.
So if Storm is an ambassador of Krakoa and co-leader of the HFC I think it would make a lot of sense, particularly in what I saw today with Storm being in a strong leadership role in Krakoa.
Why does Storm have to be the "Black" Queen of the HFC. LOL I"m just kidding!!!.
I don't know. I made my comment in the New HFC that it's not Storm and most likely Selene. But now that I look back at what the HFC actually is and what it stands for to Krakoa???
It probably IS Storm.
To me that seems the most logical choice, simply because it's made clear that Sebastian is trying to take control of the club away from the Queens. That means that the White Queen and Black Queen are reasonably allied with each other. I think it's Storm and Emma who are running the HFC as co-leaders. Sebastian was probably brought in because he has a lot of business and shipping contacts, but the leadership is under the control of Storm and Emma.
Which could cause issues later on for the X-Men because Sebastion is in Krakoa due to the Solicit of Marauders #2. And he's going against what Charles tasked Emma with. UNLESS this is bad blood from Emma stealing it from him in the first place in Uncanny X-Men. But I agree with you if we want some DRAMA, you better make Jean or Selene or hell Rogue the Next HFC and Emma will lose her SHIT!!!
The "Black Queen" part is a bit tricky, I guess she could be "Red Queen" too, they have done that in the past. It is unfortunate with the basis on chess pieces that having Storm be the Black Queen does kind of sound a bit problematic. Emma has traditionally been the White Queen from since she started. I did look it up on Wikipedia and Storm shared the White King position with Erik and they alternated going to meetings. So even back then they didn't have her take on the role of Black Queen.
