Marvel Comics calls October’s Storm #1 “one of the biggest releases of the year,” and the publisher is now unveiling a new alternate cover for the issue by superstar artist Joëlle Jones that showcases the incredible energy of Storm’s weather powers.
Jones just drew the first issue of Jason Aaron’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot at IDW Publishing, which featured Raphael. Now she’s back for more Marvel covers, and her new variant for Storm #1, seen below, doesn’t disappoint.
Writer Murewa Ayodele and artist Lucas Werneck team up for the new Storm title, which places Storm in a new headquarters outside of Atlanta, where she forges her own path as a superhero and the newest member of the Avengers.
“Ororo Munroe has lived many lives. She was a thief, a goddess, an X-Man, a queen, and now… an Avenger!” reads Marvel’s official synopsis for Storm #1.
“She is the most well-known, respected and powerful mutant on the world stage – and in that role she wants to be a force for positive change,” it continues. “First off, a major meltdown at a nuclear facility in Oklahoma City lures Storm from her Atlanta sanctuary – and into a moral conflict that will test her iron resolve.”
Storm’s solo title is part of the X-Men’s current “From the Ashes” era, which has seen the release of new X-Men and Uncanny X-Men titles, along with numerous other planned series.
“When you’re an Omega-level mutant, there are few things that can push you to your limits, and even fewer that can push you beyond those limits,” said writer Murewa Ayodele when Storm #1 was announced. “With our Storm series, we want to remind fans that there are threats that go beyond Omega. So join us on this journey that promises to be thrilling right up to the bittersweet end. Get ready for a storm that will last forever.”
Storm No. 1 will be available in stores on October 2nd.
Storm is one of the best X-Men members any times.
