• STORM does not lie. We all know that. But in the aftermath of the X-MANHUNT, STORM has been put under investigation by the F.B.I.!
• Will STORM have to perjure herself or face jail time for assisting fugitive CHARLES XAVIER?
• Meanwhile, MAGGOTT enjoys having to run the STORM SANCTUARY solo - using the opportunity to organize an MMA-style battle of the POWER-SHIFTERS (SHE-HULK, JUGGERNAUT, GENTLE, BIG BERTHA, etc.). Who will come out on top?
RATED T+
Storm #8 is one of many examples in this run of how well a story can be written when there's passion behind it. You can see Murewa Ayodele and the rest of the creative team have so much genuine care for the character, which leads to Storm getting the credit she deserves as a character. Read Full Review
Storm #8 delivers a visual feast and a plethora of plot lines, as the next big storyline for the book starts to come into focus. A war between thunder gods? The wrath of the U.S. government? Maggott causing trouble? Just another day in the life of Ororo Munroe. Read Full Review
Storm #8 juggles a lot as multiple plotlines are running at the same time with all paths leading to the upcoming Thunder War. What is most impressive is how Murewa Ayodele makes sure that Storm is always the emphasis. Read Full Review
Storm #8 tensely kicks off a new story arc that pits Storm against the FBI, but before that excitement you'll have to get through the leftovers from the last arc. Read Full Review
Compared to previous issues, this one has a lot of story. However, it feels somewhat disjointed. The conflict from last issue is resolved in an anticlimactic way (something Marvel is doing all the time now) and Storm acts like an arrogant asshole towards Thor.
Maggott‘s contest looks fun, but seems to be nothing more than a cameo gimmick.
The FBI interrogation is interesting, but escalates in a weird way that doesn’t make much sense to me.
The art is very inconsistent. There are some beautiful panels and some… not so much. Which is probably to expect when you have two artists on one book.
All in all, this is another issue of Storm that leaves me unimpressed.
As random and ephemeral as reading Mad Libs.
