what we know about storm (2024)

coming in october is storm’s new solo, written by murewa ayodele with art by lucas werneck! in the weeks since it was announced, so many hints have been dropped and information revealed that it’s hard to keep track, but i wanted to at least try. under the cut is a list of confirmed information and hints. all of these things can be found on twitter. hopefully having this list will encourage excitement and some cool theories!

murewa ayodele (i am iron man) and lucas werneck (sins of sinister) team up to let a sprawling action-adventure thriller steeped deep in the marvel universe. dominance over a living rage planet in a solar system not so far away, fights against menacing dark spells from africa, political slow boils that span nations, the rescue of innocents from dangerous sea battles, and more.

ororo monroe has lived many lives. she has been the leader of the x-men, queen of wakanda, regent of arakko, and avenger. but before she was any of these, she was a god. in this series, she will become one once again… and perhaps something more. welcome to the labors of storm — where even the physical embodiment of the universe, eternity, cannot keep his eyes away — not until his plans for an eternal storm are made real — even if it will unalive our dear protagonist in the process.

here’s what we know:

first issue has some first appearances (frenzy and some avengers). she’ll be handling a "major meltdown" at a nuclear facility in oklahoma city.

interactions between eternity and ororo are vital to the series.

animal symbolism (hippos & lions) relating to her divinity, emphasis on hippos. something cute to balance out the action and heartbreak.

dark magic plays a significant role in issues #2-4.

issues #5 and #6 feature high-stakes action. ayodele compared them to battles in manga.

confirmed issue titles: "sick day" and "oblivion waits no longer"

appearances from doctor doom (issue #1), scott (issue ?), death (issue #5), iron man (issue #1), rogue (issue ?), oblivion (issue #5), and kwannon (issue ?).

going to latveria to have dinner with doom. "third time’s the charm"

interactions with t’challa largely covered in jed mackay’s avengers run.

ancient magic and her hair play a large role in the story.

ayodele has plans for a 30-issue run

ororo’s solo is independent of her role in avengers but ayodele and mackay have read each other’s scripts.

another version of doctor doom? 🤔 "the doom you know is not the doom we’re talking about here." (source)

most of the story takes place on earth but she will go to space and interact with cosmic characters.

"earth has a new omega-level protector, mutants have a powerful queen watching over them, but the challenges ahead are well beyond omega — dangerous and heart-wrenching." (quote)

the "storm sanctuary" is her new headquarters which is located in atlanta

confirmed that there will be "sexiness" in issue #3 so, possible sex scene (maybe w/ craig or t'challa 🤔)? see tweet he responded to for context.

we’ll see more of ashake and ororo’s family.

he has plans for rogue storm, her elemental form.

recap of an interview ayodele did.

"going to have her hands full with terrorist pirates and mad cosmic titans" (tweet)

described as a cosmic thriller

"state of the marvel universe will be at stake" (tweet)

cool fashion looks!

sneak peek of a panel here, posted on 7/22/24

from ayodele’s understanding, ororo is acting as the mutant voice on the avengers

going to see three layers: cosmic destiny, protector of earth (and what that entails), and personal life.

editorial mandates: she must be in atlanta, involved in international politics, trying to be a solo hero, and sharing her with the avengers.

one of the main focuses of the run is figuring out why she wants to go solo rather than be part of a team and how she adjusts to that.

another main focus is what do cosmic forces (eternity, etc.) want with her.

conflict with charles does come up (interviewer jokingly referred to him as her nemesis and he said that comes up)

going to include backstories but hopes to move those narratives forward

she has a secondary costume. one for daily hero things, another for when things get tough.

the second arc is where the avengers appear the most

use of cryokinesis in the first issue

here’s what’s been hinted:

possible appearances or crossover with wanda and jean, who also have upcoming solos. also may see living tribunal in issue #5.

expanding on new role as the face of mutants which was revealed in x-men #35

another character from G.O.D.S. in addition to eternity.

issue #2 may expand upon her mystical abilities.

will try to balance exploring ororo’s kenyan heritage and her black-american heritage. if he gets a longer run, he hopes to be able to explore this (tweet)

interacted with a fan’s theory about the labors of storm taking inspiration from hercules’ twelve labors 🧐

relationship with gentle is the inspiration for a relationship with another character.

possible appearance from shuma gorath, the witches of infinity, or wiccan/doctor voodoo. (tweet)

his favorite magical character shows up in the run, but tight-lipped on who.

likes the dynamic between ororo and callisto, so 👀

equates the power gap between her and the main villain with thanos vs. hawkeye

possibly establishing an official nemesis

wants to see how she deals with a more male-dominated solo hero environment

building towards something that happens with the phoenix

going to reflect what it’s like to be a female solo hero in the marvel universe

plan for pantheon gods to appear

more kenyan influences re: fashion, speech, etc.

maggot appearance involving a music scene with ampiano

Day three of my (late) skystar week.

Prompt was embrace/storm and I chose both. I also chose to leave it as a sketch rather than clean it up. I think it looks nice. :>

Starscream turns to Skywarp for his teleporting abilities to take them home, but he's less than helpful.
