Forgettable
What I expected: A team up between two complex adult buddies delving into a mysterious temple adventure where they bond over their shady pasts
What I got: A saturday-morning-cartoon cave action scene, linear predictable story with a not so clever ending, and bland if not immature out of character 'sentimental' dialogue. Messy vaguely humanoid art. The whole thing more

Well, they say all things created have a purpose.
Art: Better than I could draw but not great compared to previous issues (he does try his best to channel Ibanez though and Storm looks pretty consistent).
Story: If you liked the previous issues not much will be a surprise. If you have not, not much will be a surprise, but the dialogue is a little worse. And what was with the "and know yo more

Take issue #1, add a make-out session with Logan and you have issue #2, with Callisto added. Even the clean-up near the end is similar.
Story: This issue gives no clear direction to the series than Ororo lamenting her past, getting involved in something not in her sphere of influence, apologizing, and helping to clean the mess. The revisit with Callisto was fun to see, as was her ability to more

What a bland and forgettable start to a series. While this comic may be only made for people who are already fans of Storm (and there are many) it does nothing really amazing with her from what I can guess, and for new readers who aren’t familiar with Storm, this comic isn’t going to suck them in.
The plot is simple and self-contained; Storm saves an African village from a tsunami, the go more

This is a standard issue in almost all aspects. While there is no denying Storm is a fan-favorite character this issue will do nothing to bring in new readers to want to explore her world. Internal dialogue is well written but she still comes off as unlikable and arrogant when speaking to others around her, especially Creep with whom she addresses with flared nostrils and actually attacks with ligmore

As we come to the end I'm finally able to come up with a written review. I've held off on doing one for this series for two reasons. The first is the seething disappointment I have with Jimenez over how poorly handled this series was. The second because I wanted to get a clear sense of perspective over what all went wrong.
Let's start with the writing.
