Storm #1 excels in character-driven storytelling, delivering a debut issue that does justice to Ororo's rich history & elevates her to even new heights. Ayodele's writing is a love letter to the iconic X-Men, Avengers, and Wakandan queen, distilling the essence of her past titles into a narrative that's deeply human.
Murewa Ayodele's script is a thoughtful exploration of that very aspect, peeling back the layers that reveal a vulnerable, empathetic person beneath w/o sacrificing her strengths. He acknowledges her impressive résumé, but never loses sight of her emotional core. This is the X-Men at their best – a celebration of mutant powers and human frailties, reminding us that even the strongest mutant is still a person. Ayodele's use of third-party narration sets the stage, while his use of dialogue gives Storm ample opportunities to showcase why she’s achieved her current status.
As outstanding as Ayodele's writing is, Lucas Werneck's art is the true star of the issue. His designs bring Ororo to life in breathtaking fashion, radiating an otherworldly energy that's simply captivating. Every panel is a testament to Werneck's skill, as he effortlessly captures Storm's regal presence, her fierce determination, and her quiet vulnerability. As promised, the multiple outfit changes throughout the issue are a delightful bonus, each one a stunning showcase of her beauty & Werneck's attention to dramatic detail. Beyond her outfits, even subtle body movement conveyed Storm’s gravitas. Colors by Alex Guimares & Fer Sifuentes-Sijo add extra vibrancy to the artwork, imbuing pages w/ a celestial energy that's nothing short of mesmerizing.
In short, Storm #1 is not only the best solo title launch of this new era but also a landmark issue that cements Storm's position as a singular superhero. Building on the foundations laid by Al Ewing's X-Men Red, Ayodele & the creative team gave us everything you could want in a debut issue, especially one for a goddess.

Everything I hoped or would be
It captures everything I loved about Storm from the Krakoa/Arakko era and somehow elevates her to a position that is deserving of the Goddess that she has always been. I haven't been this excited about a Storm comic in an age. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Okay! WTF. I actually like a X-Men related comic again?! This one was REALLY engaging and BEAUTIFULLY illustrated. I really like where they are going with this one.

Wow, this was amazing. Stunning from cover to cover. Glorious art to fit a glorious goddess. It finally feels like Storm is getting her due as a main player and… you know, a goddess. I heard a lot about how Storm got short shrift in the Krakoa era, so for her to be leading her own run is exciting. She always brings such righteousness and kindness. She’s a big picture thinker with a big heart. I love that she has to juggle a moral quandary, one that I wouldn’t trust another character with handling as well as her.
Parts of the book made me tear up — the lyricism of the writing gets you in the feels. I’m excited to read more by Murewa.
I worry that the creative team are doing Storm a disservice by, essentially, saying on her first day she’s bringing bad tidings. She’s the messenger, not the cause.
But, the book, as part of the X-Men reboot, is doing a splendid job of exploring prejudice and hate — a subject matter that’s so prevalent and heated in the US, that it would be a crime not to examine it more thoroughly through art. I’m glad the X-Men books are back to doing this, and without the need for subtlety.
I’m intrigued and concerned with what’s next for Storm and I cannot wait to read more.

4.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Beautifully illustrated and written. I didn’t love the narration and first and I still feel iffy about it but the story that was communicated was inarguably fantastic. That cliffhanger brings up a lot of questions and I’m looking forward to seeing how they follow up on it.

I've never read Storm comics before, but this comic was beautifully drawn and the story is great. I thought I adored Storm before but this comics makes me love her even more.

Storm is just soooooo pretty I could stare at her for hours. Love her in this art style so I will be reading the next one just to look at the art. It's a first issue so its really just setting things up and introducing the character, nothing too exciting (but that last page? MY GIRL LOOKS SO GOOOOOOOD) Also Storm is an Avenger now so..hmmm
I'm just happy that this is an actual solo series and not a limited one!

A solid start with a lot of heart. Ororo’s compassion shines through here and it’s cool to see her do what she can to protect the innocent and act with integrity. The art is great and it seems things might be taking even more of a turn giving the ending of this issue. Curious to see how things develop.

Amazing Issue
The Art of the issue is spotless. Beyond amazing even! The story is interesting and we shall see where it will lead us! Have to wonder though when would Marvel finally upgrade Storm's stats?

Great first issue!!
Truly fantastic first issue! Storm is a truly larger than life character and she deserves a book expressing that. It looks like this will be the book and I’m hopeful for what’s to come for her and her legacy!

exciting start and phenomenal art work
This is a promising start, with phenomenal art work. I can’t wait to see where this story goes. A Storm solo is highly anticipated and this delivers.

Simply grateful 🙏🏿
Just remarkable. I've loved this character since I was 8yrs old. & to see her so beautifully depicted and celebrated as a main character in her on-going series is a triumph. Thank you 4 this.

A great introduction to the iconic character of Storm. Amazing visuals aiding the storytelling as well. Will continue to read this run as long as it’s out.

The X-MEN Storm in her own issue sparked my curiosity.
The beginning storyline started out corny.
However, the more I read the more I got dragged in.
I am looking forward to the next issues.

August 12, 2025
This was beautiful! I loved that whole dilemma of telling the truth and causing problems versus being quiet and let the mutants win! And that final cliffhanger was amazing
