It isn't a matter of anchoring a franchise even if you think Carol isn't a model of success. She has gotten enough chances with enough creative teams you can make an accurate assessment of her sales potential. Storm and other books just get one solo. Characters like Storm, Cyclops, Rogue, etc have big enough fanbase to do the R&D to find what works. Moon Knight, Punisher and others have gotten that chance. We have gotten Angel/ Frankenstein/ War Machine / Hydra Punisher, etc. They have try every angle to make him work. Storm is one of those characters where you should take the time to figure out clearly her potential.
There are some characters that are worth trying different things to see what clicks with an audience. Storm is one of those characters.
There are characters that instantly find their audience and need a couple tries to figure out what works. Storm definitely deserves such an opportunity.
It's great that you're enjoying it! The next issue is out October 30th.

Be sure to check out the Invisible Woman appreciation thread!
But this thread is asking if she can anchor a franchise, not carry a solo. The former is alot more challenging to do and as I mentioned Wolverine and Deadpool are the only two X-characters that have been able to do so.
Hold up, her book is ongoing? I thought it was just a mini

Can Storm carry a solo? Of course.
Can Storm have her own franchise? That's something we can talk about after she's had years as a solo character.
I guess I skimmed the OP question and thought it was the usual "Can she carry a solo" thread. Whether she can start and maintain her own franchise is another kettle of fish entirely. It's pretty rare for any character to be able to do that and it takes years of consistent storytelling as well as world-building. It's way to early to even think of that.

Yes I think she can. I think Marvel needs to make a conscious effort to build her up for it so it can be sustained.
I'm really tired of the same old question being asked every two years getting the same old response from the same old posters about how XYZ is this and that and how Storm is nothing without the X-men. I dont EVER see this being asked about any other X-man except Storm and its beginning to look a little suspect.

ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
Any character could with the right creative team and premise.
Storm hasn’t been interesting since Claremont’s initial run, though Wood wrote her well; doesn’t matter, it’s comics.
Change whatever the fuck you like.
You'd have to rework her origin a little; like most of the X-Men, it isn't structured for an independent story. But that's doable.
Those are awesome villains to me.
David Munroe? Yes! That character is a total blank I believe, so for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Kevin Feige and company can do whatever they want regarding the MCU David Munroe.
He did? I SO want to see that in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Then you have her royal lineage, storm is air apparent to Kenyan throne and the reason her family didn't look for her is because her uncle threatened her.
yes but it needs to be consistent and inovative, so creating new villains/supporting characthers, good art, a passionate artist, make it relevant to the larger x-verse, ororo has a lot of unexplored history, shes flexible to adapt to various levels of fiction and betwen scifi/fantasy.
It's really a no brainer but you gotta start somewhere and you need to push out of the growing pains like every other solo characther had to go trough
With a Good Writer, Artist yeah she can make it.
She could, in fact, I'd say anybody could, but you'd have to do a LOT of work to get it right.
One of the problems you have is having her stories be her own stuff, not X stuff, not Black Panther spin-offs. She needs to have her own direction separate from the team and considering the majority of her comic career, she's never had much of a life outside the team, that's a tall order.
