I highly recommend this title, friend. Since issue #1 it's been a banger and as BobbysWorld mentioned above, Ewing has done a good job of making readers care about several new characters. This is imo the best Storm has ever been and as one of my favorites, I'm so happy.
EDIT: I forgot to answer your question. Pestilence, the one that Death killed, seems to be the only one dead dead.
