Jawnyblaze reviewed Storm #2 Nov 22, 2024
6.0

I want to love this book, I really do. Storm is one of my favorite comic characters. But it just doesn't feel right for Storm. It's not grand enough, for one. The writing doesn't work for me, and the story just feels meh. The art is really good, and because I love the character so much I'm going to stick with this and hope it gets better, but it is entirely unimpressive so far.

The green emo kid really sums it up saying they were throwing hands then just....having a tea party. WTF? This book is all over the place with no real direction and some realllllly bad\cringe dialogue. Kitty really doesn't know it's Emma making them see red demons??? Really? She says Emma knows she can't get in her head RIGHT AFTER saying she was giving her blackouts in the last 2 issues!!!!! more

IDK. Just different strokes for different folks I guess. A perfect 10 does seems high but maybe this is great YA/slice of life. Not my type of style for a superhero comic. I do see the 10's are giving 10's pretty much everywhere so most likely fluffing if they have nothing to say.

Smithd33 - Nov 25, 2024

Check the other reviews of the people who gave 10’s. They give out tens to everything. Makes it meaningless
