    Storm DESPERATELY needs better treatment and rehabilitation. The fact that Hickman already thinks she shouldn't be leading and needs to play second fiddle to Kitty of all people does not instill a lot of belief that he gets the character. Some may say I am overreacting, but again, I am only coming at it from her near decade of bad writing. If she had been alright for the past ten years, I wouldn't be as irked. But now is the time to come out guns blazing with the character while showcasing her at her max potential. That means competent, badass, and yes, a LEADER. Again, they would NEVER allow Cyke or Cap America to not to be a leader. Can you imagine Cyke taking orders from Kitty! Anyway, rant over I guess.

And the “team leader” is not always the most essential, developed, and properly portrayed character on a team. For all we know Kitty’s the one to watch the boat while field leader Storm and Co. go out and take care of business on the high seas. So if I say I’m hopeful just know that it’s because I’m tired. I’m a tired Storm fan and tbh hope is all I have left.
    User Ororo101 is right.

    Saturius your frustration is well placed. I understand and you have EVERY RIGHT TO BE. But what both me and Ororo101 is asking you to be hopeful with us. Your right is been 12 years plus that no writer has done her justice OTHER than Coates. Gerry Duggan could be the fresh breeze we’ve been looking for. Yeah, Kitty being leader sucks, but I’m sure Duggan isn’t going to have her overshadow Storm. This team is comprised of a hands on approach. Members that are willing to get their hands dirty and start some **** with humans if need be. Maybe fight meta humans or the Avengers. What I’m saying is at least give it a chance. Gerry Duggan seems to know his history very well and knows how to write a well dynamic team. Look at Uncanny Avengers. That team was comprised with SO MUCH diversity especially in power set and yet he was able to write them all as competent powerful characters.

    Give it a try :-) and if it’s not to your expectations then you were right all along. But if it is then get ready for a wonderful Storm.

    I really hope Storm does something good in Marauders but I'm getting the same feeling i had from Jonathan Marberry's Doomwars.

    A promise of Storm doing something amazing and getting nothing but a waste of time. As usual I'll check this thread for info but I refuse to be lied to again.

    The art looks nice. Hopefully Storm is in it. Is the second one still pushed back?

    Co-signed. I am pretty much over X-Men now. Marvel’s premiere black female character, a leader respected all over Marvel earth, deserves better. I can see Storm supporting Kitty because she is one of the leaders who shaped her and would want to see her grow into the role. But Storm needs to step out on her own. I’m just not going to spend the $$$ on crap wrapped in “hopeful words”. These x-writers forever make the claims about their affinity for Storm but....when have they actually delivered??!! And agreed on the point about Cyclops and Capt America. Marvel wouldn’t do this to them but clearly ok to diminish the woman of color. So I’m good. Just needed to know if they had no plans for Storm, which is clear, so I can continue to save my money.

    Anyone else think it may have been a better choice to put Storm on Excalibur instead of Maurarders? She has several ties here and the concept of the book would be a great chance to explore godhood and what that means in the Marvel multiverse especially with Psylocke exploring magic and Otherworld

    I think Storm should have an Africa based team for search and rescue tbqh. Working side by side with Wakanda.

    There has to be tons of mutants in Africa. The potential is limitless.

    Hell to the yes. How many times have we read "give it a chance" or "storm is one of my favorite characters" just to see her treated like a d-list character? I most definitely dont think any writer who think it is ok for Ororo to work for a mission commissioned by Emma while taking orders from Kitty really doesnt respect the character in a manner that we fans do. Why would Ororo ever work for a woman who swapped her out of her own body, trolled her annulled marriage and lied to her on numerous occasions? Why on earth would a woman be taken orders from a woman who once saw Ororo as a mom? I dont care that Ororo isnt leader but I dont think any Ororo fan should think this is a good thing. Maybe the xoffices will surprise us but if we are going based upon previous times I highly doubt it.

    I don't know Dugan from Adam. I hope other's faith in him is well founded.
    Ororo is beyond Cyclops. She is a goddess Cyclops could never.

    nope. I think Betsy is more appropriate for this. the otherworld from what I understand is a British thing and ororo doesnt need anymore stories that connect her to things outside of her own heritage. Let her connect to African gods, deities, and magic. This is what I am hoping coates will take us with the goddess stories.

    I dont mean have Storm there in place of Betsy. The entire series doesnt have to focus on one thing but rather jump around as Claremont/Davis did in the original series

    how could magic that center around British mythology, or Camelot, connect to the mysticism of the African plains? I wouldnt be opposed to it but I think it dilutes something that has been lacking frankly in the xbooks.


    oh and I misread your post my bad.
