A visually stunning piece that overcomplicates the premise with cosmic jargon. It is one of the better solo female X-Men runs of the bunch that debuted together, but it still stumbles more than one would like. Ayodele presents some new ideas for such a long serving X-Man, and most of them offer something interesting in terms of character development. Overall, it is a good take that creates a secure starting base for the run.

This was 5-stars until the last issue completely lost me.
But this is some of the most gorgeous art I have EVER seen in a comic

ETERNAL STORM?!?!?!?!?!?! A raise to whoever thought of this. God bless you. She looks so good not even Doctor Doom could deny it. I’m obsessed.

There were some really nice moments in this but, taken as a whole, it feels really disjointed.

No ma'am. The cover says Earth's Mightiest Mutant and then we never get to see her be so. First they give her radiation poisoning, then she's filled with a voodoo demon, and then she's modeling lingerie for Dr. Doom. The randomness might work on another character, but not Storm
So, really bad art. A fail.

This ends in a conclusion that reminded me of the headache I got from Hickman-vengers. The beings dealt with and overarching threat that's beyond imagining. I don't read many X-Men comics, so I don't know if this kind of stuff is more common with their books. It wasn't super present outside of Hickman in the Avengers, Cap, and Heroes for Hire books I read.
Anyway, I enjoyed most of this. This take on Storm reminded me a lot of Rucka's take on Wonder Woman. More delving in the image Storm portrays to the public. I see her as more capable of being ruthless in her battles than Rucka's Wonder Woman, but, like Diana, there's always a reason for it. I understand her actions towards the bad guy she encounters () less, but I guess the point is that they're benevolent beyond what the average person can understand.
We see a bit of the X-Men here. . We also got to see a bit of Brother Voodoo, which I thought was really cool. We get three Black characters here and I'd hope that meant they'd include a more diverse roster on the teams going forward. Considering when this was published, I have no clue if they actually followed through on that. That being said, I hope Marvel finally does right by Storm in the upcoming film. I trust she will be treated well in Black Panther 3.

This was okay, very pretty, until that last issue. What in the god of stupid was that?

One of the better books in the From The Ashes Relaunch. It’s actually doing something new and interesting while acknowledging what came before. The art is solid, but it did feel a little rushed at times.

Não conhecia o trabalho de Murewa Ayodele, então fui meio desconfiado ao ler esse primeiro encadernado da série solo de Tempestade. Por outro lado, já conhecia o trabalho do brasileiro Lucas Werneck nos X-Men e aqui, trabalhando com Tempestade, logo se nota que ele está na sua melhor forma. Diferente de alguns roteiros que vemos por aí, os de Ayodele vão num crescendo. Começa com uma ameaça mutante que precisa ser abafada, mas cuja decisão de Tempestade chama a atenção de uma entidade cósmica e nem o fato de ela estar morrendo de envenenamento radioativo vai impedir que confronte o Doutor Destino e até mesmo seus amores e amigos. Ayodele tem um roteiro dinâmico, mas nem por isso é daqueles que deixam a desejar. O roteiro trabalha diversas nuances da personagem e também garante a ação necessária a uma história de super-heróis. Mas não o faz nem a esmo e também não o faz subestimando a personagem e os leitores que a acompanham há anos. Por isso, acredito que tive uma surpresa positiva no trabalho de uma pessoa que não conhecia desenvolvendo uma personagem que conheço muito bem.

rounded down from a 3.5 ⭐️
of the x-men solos this definitely is not my least favorite (hello mystique and phoenix), but GORGEOUS TRULY STUNNING AND BREATHTAKING artwork can only take you so far when the story just isn’t giving. the heart that we did get i really enjoyed, but those moments are few and far between. i’ll be dropping this series for now

The best of this from the ashes era.
Story is very good.
Art and colours immaculate. At least twice an issue there are pages that take my breath away or make me physically and outwardly react.
Read this if nothing else from the Brevoort dictatorship.

Gorgeous book. Interesting, too. Enjoying it. But the Superman problem concerns me. This seems something that happens to X-Men characters fairly often. Jean Grey is a good example. How to make a character relatable if powered up so much? How can their obstacles and tribulations even matter? How can Storm rejoin just a normal X-Men team again? If they keep making the best X-Men to powerful it almost drowns their character as a normal person in the world out. I am liking this for now, but I also hope they can bring Storm back to "Earth".

Interesting start to a solo Storm....ranging from sex with another X Men to not being able to use her powers.
Very comfortable art that draws you in.

Earth's Mightiest Mutant is a whiplash inducing volume for Storm that sees her both killed (and resurrected) and turned into some kind of galactic force? There's quite simply too much going on.
Storm has created some kind of floating city, but she's also randomly saving lives in Oklahoma. Then, when she gets radiation sickness from that Oklahoma battle, she needs to be restored to health by Doctor Voodoo - but she can't use her powers for seven days or Voodoo's witches will get her!
Of course, this is exactly when new God Emperor Dune, er, Doom invites her to Latveria to parlay regarding the fate of mutants. When she's forced to use her powers, some cosmic battle between Eternity and Oblivion kicks into gear - and, inexplicably, this somehow involves Storm. It all feels like Al Ewing levels of "Marvel lore is weird and fun!" but without the fun part.
I guess I'm somewhat intrigued by just how many plates Murewa Ayodele is spinning at this point, but I'm also not at all confident that future volumes will make much sense. A clear narrative line would be appreciated.

I enjoyed this but found the primordial/conceptual parts a bit confusing and uninteresting. I want to read about Storm, not about really really old god things.

a fun time with plenty of interesting themes and promises of places to take Ororo's character.
feels different from a lot of contemporary western comics in that each issue takes Storm on a new adventure in new places fighting new threats and yet hovering above it always are the cosmic stakes (death, the presence of Eternity and Oblivion) that tie the arc together and mean said issues are never just disconnected one shots.
in the first, i like the simplicity of the mission as a hook to remind us what the X-Men are about (protecting a world that hates and fears them) with the added wrinkle of how temperamental people's predilections can be, loving mutants when Storm saves them then going straight back to hating them when they learn a mutant kid caused the problem (also an interesting look at divide and conquer, since while celebrating their mutant saviour, the people hated aliens, who they briefly blamed, instead). it also sets up the way the series loves to contrast Ororo at her most powerful and most vulnerable, with the two states often being simultaneous.
the rest takes it in a very different direction, with plenty of great ideas, like making a character often erroneously called a witch interact with a real spiritualist/magic user like Doctor Voodoo and subsequently revisiting the ground of stories like Life/Death (with the twist that she can still use her powers - rather than having lost them - she'll just die if she does, so resisting the temptation is also a factor). speaking of Voodoo, his scenes and those featuring the cosmic abstracts are a great showcase for Werneck's art, which i've always found the perfect fit for the dynamic action and varied characters of X books, and these moments take it into dreamlike territory, rendered in luscious, flowing vividity.
great start, just hope the power creep doesn't inhibit the story and we're not taking on too many plot threads at once.

I picked this series up on a whim because it's new and it fits into the post-Krakoa era and some of the Avengers comics seem to be having crossover with the X-Men storylines now thanks to Ororo being on the roster. We've seen this story before -- main character who seems near invincible finds out they only have days to live and tries to pack in the narrative beats that important for the character to demonstrate their heroism and valor and brilliance and love and blah blah blah. All-Star Superman this is not. And it's actually all the better for it. We get a fragile Storm here, but we also got a vital, beautiful, raging Storm too. I was impressed by Ayodele's ability to have a glut of cameo appearances and never have them do more than supplement the store surrounding Storm in this series so far. The one weak point for me was the cosmic underpinnings, which I know are trying to get Storm onto a similar level as the Phoenix, but given the cosmic scale of the current contemporaneous run of Fantastic Four, this felt a little bit too similar by proximity. I know I'm familiar with Werneck's art from covers, and I'm sure he's illustrated issues I've read too -- his stuff is visually rich, though sometimes his characters are a bit too samey in body design and classic attractiveness, but like...this era of the mutants seems to be one where they should all actually be stunning looking so *shrugs shoulders* keep going, I guess?

Boy, do I regret buying this Storm TPB. I bought it because of the gorgeous art by Lucas Wernick, but the writing is lacking.
My main complaint is that Storm is written without flaws. It has been said about Ororo since Claremont's days on X-Men, that she is akin to a Godess. Well, here she is written as a Goddess who can do everything, pretty much, and it is fairly boring.
The final story selects Storm for Cosmic Ascension. Why? Because she's so noble and is such a Goddess, that there is no other individual that possibly could do it successfully, and the universe picks Storm. That is so bad, and the stories just prior to that each play variations on that theme. It revels in Storm's glory.
This is not a deep exploration of character. It is as though a fan familar with the major beats of Ororo's life is writing and representing them to us here. It's not showing me anything deeper, or fresh. And, just by virtue of her identity as a hero, she succeeds, always. This is not good. I would prefer to see more grounded and earned character work, and conflict (mistakes on Ororo's part, even, because she's human).
As it is, with this first volume, what we get is a bit of a tour of the Marvel Universe (with Storm interacting with Dr Doom and, later, Eternity), and it's simply not enough. I won't be following in future volumes, sorry to say.

No offense to the people who made this, but this was such a nothing burger for me. Admittedly, I haven’t read a comic book, especially an X-Men comic book, in a very long time. I stopped reading all comics about 13 years ago, but was excited when I saw Storm was getting her own solo series. The X-Men are my favorite and Storm is my favorite character in all of comics. She is THE BEST character IMO.
But what the heck even was this? I don’t know if I’m just too out of touch with what’s going on at Marvel Comics right now, or if this really was just that bad, but I did not like this volume at all. Some of the art was very pretty but that’s about it.
(Minor spoilers, I guess, though it’s recalled really early…and is a weird plot point)…The whole story is a countdown to Storm’s “death?” Why? This is a comic book. We all know you’re not going to kill off storm in her own solo series. Are we trying to do some kind of Phoenix Saga with Storm? Are we trying to do a SoilorMoon/Elsa(Frozen) rebirth and transformation storyline. Boring. Just let Storm be Storm and do Queen Super Mutant shit. Plus, they already did this storyline in X-Men ‘97 the Animated Series (but at least there we have an affair with Forge)
And issue #5, what even was that?! I don’t even think I’m gonna bother with volume 2.

How long has it been since Storm had her own solo title? Constantly proving to be phenomenal in every way, the goddess has returned...
Highlights:
- Storm sets up a sanctuary in Atlanta for animals and really all forms of life.
- Getting called away from it, she goes to Oklahoma City to help shut down a nuclear accident, which turns out to be a mutant awakening to their powers. Unfortunate side effect: radiation poisoning that will kill her quickly!
- Eventually, Storm ends up in the care of Doctor Voodoo, who brokers a deal with the spirit Eegun for her to be cured, but she can't use her powers for 7 days, which she takes the first 6 with her X-Family (and hooks up with Logan!)
- Storm is summoned to Latveria by Doom (in the midst of taking over everything as the new Sorcerer Supreme) and to defend herself must use her powers. Eegun shows up and takes her life immediately...
- ... which draws the attention of Eternity, who resurrects her as Eternal Storm. Storm "eats" Eegun and finds herself involved in a battle between Eternity and Oblivion.
The next Volume is going to be even better than this one!
Jump on this now. You don't need tons of knowledge about current X-Events. Recommend.

Grade: 68% (D+)
Storm Vol. 1: Earth's Mightiest Mutant reads cleanly with great art and solid dialogue flow. The early issues nail what I wanted to see. Storm as an ambassador to the world, dealing with real mutant-human relations tensions. That nuclear disaster storyline where she has to choose between letting dead workers take the blame or telling the truth and risking all the goodwill mutants have earned? That's the kind of layered storytelling I came for. She's respected by everyone, treated like the goddess she is, and even Doom holds her in high regard. The first four issues set up foundation really well and I was intrigued to see where it goes.
Then the fifth issue just completely falls apart. Cosmic entities discussing things that have nothing to do with Storm's story. I don't know who these characters are, I don't care about them, and it's such a hard left turn that it completely undermines everything built up. That final issue tanks the whole thing for me. I was flying through it before that and then just trying to get through it as fast as I could. It has me seriously hesitant about Volume 2.
Recommend? Maybe

I reread this first part after finishing up the series, and I realized the first issues were fine. The art is mostly beautiful (sometimes oversexualized for no plausible reason other than serving the male gaze, which is disappointing) and the story is presented well.
Pros:
-Connections to character history
-Wolverine fight sequence - good throwback to first time she lost her powers
-More African elements in styling Storm
-Cloud-like hair art
Cons:
- How did the animals end up in the floating sanctuary? Being bottle fed by a human far from their natural habitat does not really seem like a good idea. I also worry about them in all fight scenes. Why not stick to plants which Storm has a history with?
- Over-sexualization
- No connection to Kraoka: What happened to Ororo's connection to Arakko? Her friendships there? Her relationship?
- Crying on the way to Dr. Doom because she is also a woman: Cringe moment. She and Logan have too much history, leaving a note and going about her day would be more natural.

2026 Eisner Award finalist - Best Continuing Series
Collects Storm #1-5.
This is clearly a book that is trying to reset, if not retcon, Storm's place in the Marvel universe. As such, there is a lot of exposition explaining what's come before and hints at what might come next. Luckily, Ayodele does a good job recapping recent Marvel history so that someone like me with no knowledge of it can mostly follow along. What Ayodele doesn't do is make me care. The story jumps from one idea to the next without really stopping to contemplate what it means. To top it off, the book ends with a "to be continued" cliffhanger—one that I'm sure I'll never see resolved (because I don't care). Lucas Werneck's artwork is visually strong, but there's also more than necessary gratuitous cheesecake posing.

Oh, this series is excellent! The art is gorgeous, the story is engaging, and the characters are actually in character. Easily one of the best X-men comics I've read in a bit. ⚡💜
I love how we get little flashbacks to Ororo's childhood, and I like that she gets to . Those were very sweet moments.
There's some time spent with the Primordials as Eternity and Oblivion basically have what amounts to a godly custody battle over Death (who isn't even in this story). I'm not personally invested in the Primordials and am not too familiar with them overall, so these parts didn't particularly interest me, but I enjoyed the artwork and the over-the-top dialogue they had.
But, I do have to say, However, I think Ayodele takes it in an overall interesting direction, so I'm not going to complain about it too much.

Oh I really enjoyed this one.
Murewa Ayodele captures Storm's voice wonderfully, and manages to take her from street level kicking bad guys in the face, mystical fighting monsters with Doctor Doom, to Eternity and Oblivion level brawls, making her fit in each and every world easily, because that's just the goddess that she is. Each issue is a great character study for Ororo, as well as furthering a larger story and honouring the history of the character all at once.
Lucas Werneck's artwork has been great since he hit the Marvel scene, but I think he's really leveled up with this series. It might be the colours from Alex Guimares, but whatever it is, the visuals here were really, really good.
A nice surprise as part of From The Ashes. Very much looking forward to what comes next.

These solos are always hard. They are constantly fighting to justify their existence, which is borne more out of editorial push than a creator coming to Marvel and exclaiming, "I have a great idea!" The best writers make something of these projects, and I see what Ayodele is trying to do.
Storm is a great character. She's the most published female Marvel character and she deserves it. But converting a character to a solo book is always a challenge. You need to create a little world around the character and make the reader care about that new world.
I have certainly seen worse than this. Though it does feel like this project won't last too long. It is better than most of the From the Ashes initiative thus far.

storm is hands down the coolest x-man. she's such a fashionista!! so powerful !!!! her one and only flaw is that her moral compass is always pointing true north so she always makes the right choice and makes the rest of us look bad
the art in these issues is stunninggg, there are multiple pages that i want as posters
the only reason i'm giving this 4 stars not 5 is cos the fifth issue super lost me with whatever the big cosmic battles are?? i don't care about the concept of oblivion i want to see electricity coming out of storm's eyes when someone does something stupid and makes her maddd
(also omg cutie pie baby storm with her dad??? protect her)
the art in these issues is stunninggg, there are multiple pages that i want as posters
the only reason i'm giving this 4 stars not 5 is cos the fifth issue super lost me with whatever the big cosmic battles are?? i don't care about the concept of oblivion i want to see electricity coming out of storm's eyes when someone does something stupid and makes her maddd

This is a strong debut volume. From an intriguing overarching narrative to the fantastic Werneck art on display there is plenty to enjoy here. I'm always in for a solo X-men title, but what tipped the scales for me is the strong word of mouth I keep hearing about Murewa's writing abilities, and from what I gather from the short essays, and the letter page comunico's the author has had a similar upbringing as someone like Storm, and you can feel they are writing their own experiences into the character as much as possible.
We're not too far behind the current timeline so jump in while you still can

Storm is a powerful character, both narratively and in terms of her powers, that every now and then gets a solo book that I try hoping that it stands on its own as a well-written exploration of the hero. What I typically find is that they only work to highlight how her role in the X-Men mythos feels heavily based in her relationships with those around her and how she inspires and supports the important people in her life. This book reconfirms that hypothesis for me, as it feels relatively flat and overly familiar, simply reinforcing what we already know about the character.

Storm has always been my favorite X-Men, and THIS COMIC JUST GAVE ME MORE REASONS WHY
This comic has everything: An interesting story, an art style that makes me want to frame every single panel, and so many badass Storm scenes. I am so obsessed. Completed with a lovely set of cameos and a lot of action scenes, I could not put it down. Mutant hate and death may be the central topics, but Storm Vol. 1: Earth's Mightiest Mutant features so many other valuable topics of discussion. I may have just finished it, but I think it may be time for a reread...
