Do we know how Storm was able to live that long? She’d have to be what, 135?.I was confused on that.
100 YEARS SINCE THE SINISTER ERA BEGAN... WAGNERINE and her gene-spliced assassins are HOLY THIEVES, servants to a cosmic cult. Let the HEIST LITURGY be spoken! Loot the ashes of Asgard! Raid the tombs of Otherworld! Pick the pockets of the Marvel Universe and build the sacred weapon! And let us bear witness to the final fate of the First...the fallen fiend who was once known as NIGHTCRAWLER.
The second issue of this series melds stunning art with sci-fi high adventure, creating a fun gut punch of a book. Read Full Review
Di Vito delivers some fantastic art throughout the issue. The characters look amazing and the action is visually thrilling from start to explosive finish. Read Full Review
While the time skip is still a major issue, Storm & The Brotherhood of Mutants#2 is certainly worth reading. Its characters are brilliant, its setting demands further exploration, and the stakes have never been higher. While it is certainly painful to lose a character as esteemed as Storm, it's only a temporary loss, and it will certainly be fun to get to see her Brotherhood live up to her name 900 years down the line.

With four intervening issues with different titles in this story, it's impressive to watch as Storm & The Brotherhood of Mutants #2 serves as both a continuation of the story begun in issue #1 and the penultimate framing for the final act of "Sins of Sinister" set 900 years in the future.

Storm & the Brotherhood of Mutants #2 is a fun comic, and the team does a fantastic job, but theres a fundamental problem with this story that it cant fix. None of this is going to matter, but at least its a fun read. Read Full Review
Storm and the Brotherhood of Mutants #2 manages to expertly capture the devastation and history of the world without compromising the impact of the plot. Read Full Review
Storm & The Brotherhood of Mutants #2 made more sense than any of the other issue twos and still managed to hold true to the characters still alive at the time. The Star Wars Space Opera that was the foundational aspect of the issue was a bit cheeky, however, I didn't mind it as much as one would suspect. No one can doubt the comparisons. Nevertheless, the plot struggles are still very real, extremely complex, and hard to navigate within the Sins of Sinister event. Read Full Review
If one reader wished to bring his X-men experience to a closure, this could be the final Storm issue, and this could be the final Destiny issue. It's that good.
This was incredible! What a powerful book definitely my favorite sins of sinister book so far. I can't wait for the next issue
Yes yes yes
Sinister being a piece of trash into an epic space opera
- The event
On its own merits this issue is an incredible Star Wars-style space opera full of big drama and feeling and cool starfighter battles, but lingering in the background is the sense that while the 100 year gap is simply, clearly and effectively communicated (unlike certain other issues of this crossover I could name) we're getting a mere summary of the sorts of passions that were so powerful in X-Men Red and Immortal X-Men, the structure leaving space for little more than a rough summary of things like Irene & Raven's drama. But whatever complaints I have about the cost of the overarching structure, this was nevertheless solidly the best issue of the +100 arc
Well done as usual by Ewing! Di Vito is quite good too!
This worked very well overall. I could feel the weight of the 100 years on everyone here, which is impressive since we barely see it. I will say that the reasoning behind not ending this timeline now came across a bit weak to me. I understand why the characters in question would reason it this way but... come on. I'll get over it, obviously. This event is still great, and wholly worth the read.
How was Storm alive thst long? That aspect confused me, but the ideas here are pretty cool.
The art is terrific from the first to the last panel. The prose is snappy and the script develops the plot of the event with a vengeance.
It's an exciting and satisfying comic. It's a very good comic.
But it's not quite a great comic, and I think it's because as we go racing into this alternate future, we're running low on sympathetic viewpoint characters.
Don't get me wrong, the story is plenty engaging. But the surviving mutants are strangers, and events are moving so fast that it's hard to get to know them.
Art: 4/5
Story: 4/5
Total: 8/10
When Al Ewing gives it his all, he knocks it out of the park.
I didn't get everything here, mostly cuz I'm skipping the other sinister books, but this was still quite enjoyable.
A fun middle issue for this miniseries. This space adventure did a solid job of conveying the effects of the past 90 years on the characters, and I enjoyed seeing their plan being put into place. I always love seeing Storm being badass, and it's why she's one of my absolute favorite Marvel mutants, if not my top favorite. This also leads to me not wanting her death to come at the end of the issue, but as long as it works for the story. Plus, not many stay dead in comics for long (Especially since we're going back to the normal timeline/timeframe after the next issue).
