    The threat that the main antagonist presents is only rivaled by the powers of Storm. The fact that Amaterasu gets the best of Storm in this first issue sets up what kind of challenge Ororo is up against. Making the threat feel real even when the hero is a God goes a long way to keep the interest of readers as the series goes on. Read Full Review

    Murewa Ayodele does not miss a beat by continuing his epic with Storm: Earth's Mightiest Mutant #1. Read Full Review

    Ororo Munroe's heroic journey under Murewa Ayodele continues in Storm: Earth's Mightiest Mutant #1, a new title that carries over the themes, plot points, and characterizations from Storm. In this first issue of the new title Ayodele brings Ororo down to her lowest point, leaving readers to wonder whether Storm can find renewed faith in herself and her abilities, and restore her sense of honor as she secures her role as the Earth's most powerful protector.

    Storm: Earth's Mightiest Mutant #1 might be a new #1, but it is not new-reader-friendly. Even those who have followed the Storm series since Murewa Ayodele began it in 2024 will be frustrated by this issue, which features a chopped-up narrative, significant expository dialogue, and a lack of depth. The art is sufficient and shows promise, but is not up to par with the previous ongoing Storm series. Read Full Review

    Super Hero Hype - Matt Morrison

    Feb 04, 2026

    Overall, Storm: Earth’s Mightiest Mutant #1 makes every mistake a first issue could. The story is loaded with dense continuity and feels like walking in on the middle of a movie. The artwork is muddled and oddly blocked. Fans of the previous Storm series may enjoy it. Newcomers, unfortunately, will have a hard time understanding it. Read Full Review

    No matter how many times I approach these themes, the abstract nature of cosmic deities just doesn't resonate with my personal tastes. While I’m giving this a 4 out of 10, I want to be clear that much of that score stems from my personal preferences; however, the disjointed story structure certainly didn’t do the book any favors.

    I can see Ayodele was trying to tell a good story here - that of a superhero confronted with personal failure and becoming a potential threat to the world as a result - but the full emotional impact doesn't translate into the finished comic because of the artist's limitations. In fact, Federica Mancin is such a huge step down from most of the artists working on the last Storm series, that I had to force myself to actually read the pages. I hate to bash a newcomer artist, but this job was just not the right one for Mancin - and it's probably not even her fault. Marvel should have given her a book that can use a more cartoony approach, such as Champions or Runaways, to hone her skill a few more years before letting her draw a book like Sto more

    I thought this was a really poor effort, especially as a new #1 issue. I bought almost every issue of the previous volume and still food the story here to be choppy and hard to follow.
