• Storm must battle a mysterious figure from her past!
• But with the true nature of Stormcaster revealed, can Storm trust her powers anymore?
Rated T+
Guggenheim finally approaches X-MEN GOLD like a team-centered series. Storm, who's largely been ignored for the past thirty issues, gets the spotlight in X-MEN GOLD #34 and it's exactly what we've all been waiting for. If you love Storm, this issue is for you. Read Full Review
Fans of X-Men (or Storm) should absolutely pick this arc up, regardless of if they have been keeping up with the series. Read Full Review
It is a strange way for X-Men Gold to be heading towards its end. With most of the cast unrepresented, this feels like a postscript to the wedding. Perhaps Guggenheim will bring it all together for the finale, right now the book feels a bit listless. Read Full Review
X-Men Gold #34 isn't a bad comic, but it struggles and ultimately fails to be the emotional trek that it wishes to be. Ororo's parents are back, but you know that something wrong is happening here. Storm will be split apart from them, but there's no moments of warmth and connection to make that powerful. I can recommend this comic tentatively to the X-Fan, but I wouldn't call it a must-read.

As a finale to the series, this is becoming sadly lacking. There was some improvement in recent months in this title for Storm, but this is not the woman we know. The penultimate issue coming next and Guggenheim is really going to have his work cut out for him to dig himself out of the hole hes created. Read Full Review
Storm starts the inevitable conflict with her village's new evil god and the first rounds go hard against her. This is a brisk story with a solid pace and some fundamentally sound ideas. Those ideas are under- or un-developed, leaving the reading experience far less satisfying than it could be. Wonderfully clean art does put a slightly positive spin on things, but it can't do much to compensate for the shallowness of the script.
