Storm #6 is a great jumping on point for new fans as Greg Pak’s characters excite the page with intriguing dialogue and insightful development. Here we have Ororo, fresh from her adventure in Las Vegas, traveling back home to New York City. The adventure she is returning from was originally intended for her now deceased boyfriend, The Wolverine. Fulfilling a final request of his, she took to the city to assist their mutual friend, Yuriko. The results were less than acceptable for Storm, but she took what she could get and is attempting to return home with a clear conscience. This entire series has been great because it’s about Ororo as a singular player rather than just an X-Man or just the wife of Black Panther. Her personalty, her power sets, and her strikingly beautiful mohawk, set her apart from every other cast member, and this book sets itself apart from the other X-titles.

AVENGERS & X-MEN: AXIS #7 Review: “New World Retcon!”
Marvel’s current event series Avengers & X-Men: Axis has been an uneven affair to date and the most recent issue is no exception. In fact, “End The Line” stands as something of a microcosm survey to the point. While wildly ambitious, writer Rick Remender’s story has had a hard time finding its legs overall. Part of this may be due to his script calling for perpetual erosion that may ultimately prove too self-sabotaging. Part of this may be due to the rotating cast of artists that, despite their collective awesomeness, hasn’t yielded a consistent look for the title. Regardless of the mechanics, the finish is often less than satisfying. [Read more…] about AVENGERS & X-MEN: AXIS #7 Review: “New World Retcon!”
