That Rumble Of Thunder And Lightning You Hear Might Be Coming From Storm #1
By Nick Tylwalk
Most of the X-Men have been through roller coaster rides during their lives, but few can match the ups and downs experienced by Storm. Ororo Munroe has been leader of various incarnations of the X-Men, Queen of Wakanda, leader of the Morlocks and Headmistress of the Jean Grey School. She’s also been powerless, de-aged to a teenager, implanted with a Brood egg and had her marriage to Black Panther annulled. So yeah, she’s been through some stuff.

One thing Storm has never experienced is her own ongoing series, but that’s going to change in July. Storm #1 is on the way from writer Greg Pak and artist Victor Ibanez, and it’s promising to put her immense power and unique outlook in the spotlight like never before.
Here’s what Marvel has to say on Storm’s debut issue:
"Her desire to make the world a better place is unmatched, even though that world that hates and fears her. On her mission to spread goodwill and embody Charles Xavier’s dream in her own way, she will stand alongside new faces and familiar friends – and come face to face with more than her share of enemies."
Storm #1 is set to blow into comic shops and digital on July 23. Check out some of Ibanez’s pages and variant covers by Simone Bianchi and Skottie Young below, and get ready to batten down the hatches!
