Buzzword readathon #8

Reading this made me 10 times madder that the movies seem physically incapable of doing Storm right because she's such an interesting character!! God, she deserves better.

Anyway, this comic is pretty close to perfect, at least so far as comics go. As I said, Ororo as a character is amazing and this entire volume is solely a character piece on her. Each issue has it's own individual plot that loosely tie together and all of them focus on whatever Ororo's going through, whether it's something to do with her powers or losing a loved one.

Being fairly ignorant on X-Men comics in general there's a lot in this that I didn't get immediately, such as various characters' relationships, but it gives you enough context clues that you can pick it up almost immediately. It took only a few pages for me to absolutely fall in love with Ororo and Logan's relationship so, if you've read it, you can imagine how much of an emotional roller coaster this reading experience was.

This also contains some of the best art in superhero comics I've seen in a while, and as someone who is usually very unimpressed with superhero comic art it takes a lot for me to even like it, let alone for me to love it.

Not only do I think that anyone who likes X-Men comics should read this, I also think that every person currently working at Marvel Studios also needs to read this so they don't fuck Storm up (yet again).
