Ororo Munroe has been known by many names over the course of her life, one of them being Storm. Now, acting as both headmistress of the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning and a defender of anyone who needs her she will have to try to balance both lives and get the best from them.
The first issue from a new series focused on one of the most popular Marvel mutants. Storm has always been one of my favorite character from the X-Men franchise and I always thought that if a writer could exploit her potential correctly she could become a truly popular property. Does this series deliver on that aspect?
Well, yes and no.
For one, writer Greg Pak does a pretty good job at making new readers now the kind of person that Storm is. It's a pretty good jumping-in point since it gives enough information about her history without making it look like overexposition while also nailing the portrayal of the superheroine as well as her personality, there's not a real complaint about these points.
The problem comes about offering something new or exciting for people to come back for the following issue. The plot tells a well written and enjoyable one-and-done tale but doesn't exactly makes you intrigued about the fate of the character nor upcoming stories since there are barely any sub-plots nor cliffhangers. It's a charming issue no doubts but not one that forces you to keep checking for more.
The art by Victor Ibanez is beautiful, he has a pretty vibrant and expressive semi-cartoony style that depicts every scene satisfactorily while giving it an unique look.
Overall, this still was a solid issue despite of some complaints but I would mostly recommend it to people who are already fans of the character.
