"X-MANHUNT" PART THREE!
• Fugitive CHARLES XAVIER seeks refuge in STORM SANCTUARY, STORM's floating home in Atlanta City, and the (Alaskan) X-MEN take notice.
• Will STORM and the X-MEN join forces with PROFESSOR X to prevent his return to prison by any means necessary, or will they fall victim to opposing views that will send X-MEN against X-MEN in a bloody brawl to the death?
• And making his FROM THE ASHES debut is the unstoppable devourer - the blue-skinned Zulu titan...MAGGOTT.
RATED T+
Storm Issue 6 is about escalation and elevation. Its a spectacle that lets loose, only tapping into a fraction of Storms new power to settle a score, and it leaves a whole team and the readers stunned. Read Full Review
Ayodele continues to impress with Storm, making each comic even more powerful than the last. Read Full Review
Storm #6 pulls off its balancing act pretty well: not only does it push its main story forward, but it closes out the first act of "X-Manhunt" on an intriguing note. Not only am I interested to see where the rest of "X-Manhunt" goes, but I want to see Storm's new armor in action especially since Ayodele has teased Ororo will be fighting other Thunder Gods next issue.

I found this issue to be a frustrating read. Firstly, it suffers from the same decompressed storytelling as all the other issues before. Secondly, so much in the story doesn't make sense. Why does Storm explain to Xavier that she has to play by the book now, but then decides to fight her former teammates for him, who basically want the same thing?
Then there's the uncalled-for mutilation of Maggott - completely inappropriate, considering that Cyclops wasn't even as seriously hurt as it first seemed the case. Murdering and mutilating seems en vogue in the mutant titles in recent years, and I really hate it.
On the positive side, this is the first time I have seen Cyclops's team well drawn and not looking like cartoon charac more
