Storm (X-Men) Reading Order

February 7, 2018 by Dave 2 Comments

Storm is one of the most interesting and popular members of the X-Men, with a Marvel Universe history that extends well beyond the reach of Marvel’s merry mutants.

Whether you’re familiar with Storm from the classic Chris Claremont and John Byrne X-Men, her marriage to T’Challa the Black Panther during Marvel’s Civil War, or simply Halle Berry’s portrayal in the X-Men movies (or the even superior X-Men animated rendition), the character has a long and compelling history. While much of Storm’s stories overlap with a dive into an X-Men comics reading order, she extends across a variety of Marvel Universe and solo titles as well.

Storm Joins The X-Men

Storm as an African Godess




X-Men Epic Collection: Second Genesis 

Collects: Giant-Size X-Men (1975) #1, Uncanny X-Men (1963) #94-110, Marvel Team-Up (1972) #53, 69-70, Annual (1976) #1, Iron Fist (1975) #14-15 And Material From Foom (1973) #10

Storm makes her first appearance in the all-new all-different X-Men rebirth by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum.

Astonishing X-Men: Ororo – Before The Storm

Collects: Ororo: Before The Storm #1-4

This 2005 miniseries takes a look at Ororo’s childhood gang of thieves. Chronologically, it takes place about as early in Storm’s life as any comic, but most readers will want to start with Uncanny X-Men. Again, roaring on past this to more Uncanny X-Men is completely understandable, and you won’t regret it. Deep cut Storm fans can find something a little different here.

Uncanny X-Men Masterworks Vol. 3

Collects: Uncanny X-Men #111-121

Uncanny X-Men Masterworks Vol. 4

Collects: Uncanny X-Men (1963) #122-131 & Annual #3

Uncanny X-Men Masterworks Vol. 6

Collects: Uncanny X-Men #141-150

Issues #145 to #147 are particularly relevant for Storm, as she is both romanced and horrendously tortured by Doctor Doom (although it’s probable he still considers this portion of the date “romance”).

Uncanny X-Men Masterworks Vol. 7

Collects: Uncanny X-Men #151-159, Avengers Annual #10, X-Men Annual #5

Dracula makes his moves on Storm. Yep, that’s right, Dracula.

Magik: Storm and Illyana

Collects: Magik #1 To #4

Uncanny X-Men Masterworks Vol. 8

Collects: Ncanny X-Men #160-167 & X-Men Annual #6

 

Storm Leads the X-Men

Storm rocks a mohawk and loses her powers in X-Men

Uncanny X-Men Masterworks Vol. 9

Collects: Uncanny X-Men (1981) #168-175, X-Men Annual (1970) #7, Marvel Graphic Novel (1982) #5, Wolverine (1982) #1-4

Storm’s mohawk is kicking buns and taking names.

Approximately nothing in X-Men comics beats Kitty Pryde freaking out over Storm’s epic mohawk.

Uncanny X-Men Masterworks Vol. 10

Collects: Uncanny X-Men (1981) #176-188, Magik (1983) #1-4, Material From Marvel Fanfare (1982) #40

X-Men: Lifedeath

Collects: Uncanny X-Men #186, #198, #205, #214

For every X-Men reader less interested in doing the full Claremont (and extremely talented artists!) binge, the “Lifedeath” collection cuts the fat and gets straight to the good Storm comics! Lots of amazing art here by Barry Windsor-Smith.

X-Men: Ghosts

Collects: Uncanny X-Men (1963) #199-209, X-Men Annual (1970) #10

In Uncanny X-Men #201, Storm duels Cyclops for rights to lead the X-Men. An all-time great internal leadership showdown.

If you’re looking to continue with the full Onslaught experience – and Onslaught consumes the X-Men for a big ol’ chunk of the 90’s, I highly recommend CBH’s complete Onslaught reading order.
