I’d if ignore it if I saw it, but I see 9.0 and 8.1. Where’s the review bombing?

First up: A major meltdown at a nuclear facility in Oklahoma City draws Storm from her Sanctuary in Atlanta; and into a moral conflict that will test her iron resolve!
Guest-starring X-FACTOR's FRENZY!
Rated T+
It is a difficult task reinventing the near unstoppable hero. Ayodele's writing challenges Storm on many fronts while planting the foundation for a greater future. Werneck and the art team mix in solid action moments with the strong presence that only a goddess can carry with the art. For anyone thinking they know Storm have never seen her challenged in this manner. It's a superb start to a new chapter in a legendary character's history. You won't want to miss this.

Storm #1 starts with a celebration of the character. It begins with Storm at her most powerful and most respected because that is how many readers view her. Read Full Review
A fresh angle, with a new mission sets the Wind-rider on her brand new mission in the post Krakoan world. No X-Men. No Avengers. No Morlocks, or ORCHIS, just a women who was once thought of as a goddess ascending to a new life. Fresh dialogue, and lush, beautiful art, helps to propel Marvels most prominent woman of color in their stable to becoming their most prominent female period. If the rest of the issues for this storyline are as good as this one, Marvels going to have a stone groove hit on their hands. Read Full Review
Werneck delivers some beautifully detailed and visually stunning art throughout the issue. I love the visual style of this story and how it presents Storm throughout it. Read Full Review
Storm #1 is a big, bold comic that is the kind of story you'd expect from Ororo Munroe, and if the last page is any indication the best is yet to come. Read Full Review
Storm #1 does an excellent job at showcasing what makes Ororo Munroe one of Marvel's most compelling characters. The depth of character goes beyond her Omega-Level mutant powers. How she utilizes her leadership and compassion to inspire others provides a strong foundation for what is to be expected from this series. That foundation provides Storm with strong potential to be a top-tier solo series. Read Full Review
Storm #1 is a promising debut that showcases the character's potential for her own solo series. Ayodele's writing is strong and engaging, and Hudson's artwork is visually stunning. While the issue introduces a compelling conflict, the full scope of the series remains to be seen. Overall, Storm #1 is a promising start for a new era of Storm comics, offering a compelling and complex portrayal of the iconic X-Men character. Read Full Review
At a time when new superhero comics often struggle to justify their existence, Storm #1 creates the framework to position Storm as a leading superheroine she perhaps should have become a long time. Here's hoping they can build on this strong start. Read Full Review
Storm #1 doesn't need to exist. Murewa Ayodele's voice for Ororo is somehow off-putting, the action is illogical, and Storm's bid for Congress gets off to a very bad start through her own actions. This isn't the worst From The Ashes debut, but it sure won't help you appreciate or like the titular character. Read Full Review
Storm #1 excels in character-driven storytelling, delivering a debut issue that does justice to Ororo's rich history & elevates her to even new heights. Ayodele's writing is a love letter to the iconic X-Men, Avengers, and Wakandan queen, distilling the essence of her past titles into a narrative that's deeply human.
Murewa Ayodele's script is a thoughtful exploration of that very aspect, peeling back the layers that reveal a vulnerable, empathetic person beneath w/o sacrificing her strengths. He acknowledges her impressive résumé, but never loses sight of her emotional core. This is the X-Men at their best – a celebration of mutant powers and human frailties, reminding us that even the strongest mutant is still a person. A more
Ignore the review bombing. These people hate black excellence.
This was a debut worthy of a character like Storm! The art, script, action and execution were excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish.
The reason the rating is this high is because of the art. It's a beautiful book. Too bad this isn't a Storm book. It's a writer who wants to tell a story and simply shoves the character into it. Storm is a team leader, not a Congresswoman, not a ruler of a habitat of animals hovering over a city like some kind of despot. As a Storm fan, I was looking forward to this book, but will be dropping it.
