You know this made me think, what if the role Storm is taking will cause her to amicably split from the XMen so to speak? Perhaps her time after this in the XBooks is just a goodbye tour. This picture looks somewhat tense. Kind of like friends getting at each other for a big decision one of them is about to make. Maybe it causes Wolverine to go down memory lane on his interactions with Storm. Maybe that spar with Calisto on the cover of Marauders is similar to this. Perhaps it's just two friends reminiscing before the departure. And the Children of the Atom, she doesn't have a sidekick but perhaps she represents something bigger to the next generation of XMen, much like Charles was the focus for the first generation. So maybe revisitng old stories to move forward...
