Storm #3 Review and Spoilers.

[Omegastorm]

what is your solution?

Something I learned from Priest, epic stories that affect the line and the MU. With her actually leading two teams of X-men and the school it's a great spring board to include the larger MU.

I just read it and I was pleasantly surprised. I was worried when I first saw Forge on the cover but I rather enjoyed Storm calling him out on a lot of his shit. He needs that from her more often.

As for the villager claiming she knew Storm wasn't a goddess; perhaps she was just trying to save face. No one wants to be thought of as gullible and naive. Especially after seeing the truth for so long.

I do hope that there is a bigger purpose for the book but if not I am at least hope to enjoy the ride until the end.

Plot twist....what if the woman claiming to know that she wasn't a goddess is really the subplot? O_O could it be a way to get into her head? have her question how they could have known? O_o what if the old woman is really a god in disguise trying to crack storm before she really set her plan in motion? O_O remember when Pak said she'll face "gods, monsters and everything in between"? O_O what if the old woman is really a god who had a child (Noah) who for some reason didn't receive special powers as a part if his divinity??......my god! what if the whole thing was a setup ?? what if that entire machine was REALLY used to scan Storm's power to give Noah the ability to control the weather??

I take it u didnt like it?

That was after my initial run through. I'm just waiting to be blown away. This issue was my least favorite, which I'm sure the art had a lot to do with that. I just want bigger stories.

I curious of what the reviews for this issue will be. I am thinking 3 star range on the 5 star scale, and 6 to 7 on the 10 scale. I only found 1 review so far (but there is typically a review from CBR and IGN), and it's good (8.3/10) but I want to a few to compare to get a general consensus. Here is the review link:

Thanks for the link! Hopefully Greg will see the need for a subplot..........unless i figured it out with my last post (and you know i just love controversy)..

Lol true. I think a subplot will definitely help, but I am just hoping for bigger stories centered around his premise of the book. The intent of the book is that Storm is being a hero to those in need, be that protecting the vulnerable from a corporation and the devastation of natural disasters, looking out for wayward youth on the street that people wouldn't give a second look, or helping an african village sustain itself. I am loving this take on Storm because....that is Storm. But I think Greg, like he did in issue #1, can write these type of situations, in a more impactful and compelling way, and also build up to a larger story and MU presence for Storm as the book progresses.

Precisely.............now we got the $$$ if he got the *boom*

I agree with a lot that's already been said on this thread. Love Pak. This is the guy behind Superman and Planet Hulk. I want mind-blowing displays of force to go with the good character development. I want a long continuous story arc. I want a real challenge/nemesis for Storm to be pitted up against. No more of these one-and-done episodes. It looks like coming up we have a 3-issue story arc. Let's go even bigger after that!

[Tofali]

There needs to be something more going on this book if we are going to shell out $4 for it. Most of the storylines in each issue are B-stories -- they shouldn't be taking over the whole issue. I'm ashamed to admit my selfishness on this forum but even thou I'm a proud Kenyan I couldn't care less what those villagers in Kenya are going thru lol! I may be obsessed with Storm but I don't feel myself taken over with the urge to flip pages so that I find out what happens on the next. I want to see magnificent feats by Ororo and I also want to see ppl's assess lit up on fire because the Goddess felt they deserved it.

[Park Slope Pixie]

I don't disagree with this. There needs to be a bigger reason and draw to make people want to keep reading this.

This run is doing very little to keep a casual reader (not a Storm fan) invested. I know i'm not.

Damn...Iam getting tired of Storm apologizing to someone every issue though. Not sure what that's about but the small stories don't bother me much even tho I haven't read 3 yet.

That is A GOOD observation. I have more faith in Greg than to think these past two issues were for not. Something is going on here and I bet when we find out several issues later we'll all be like "OOOOO SNAP"!!!
