I actually liked this book way more than I'd thought I would. See, I've never really been a big fan of Storm. She just kind of leaves me flat. But I thought I'd give this a try anyways, mostly because the cover art is really cool. I'm deep like that.This is kind of a disjointed book. There's no overarching storyline, which is not necessarily a negative. I have a feeling that most of that disjointed feel comes from the fact that huge things are happening in other X-Men books. Notably, Wolverine's...

I liked it, but it could have been better. I feel like it was really disjointed and I missed having a overreaching story arc, so it didn't make that lasting of an impression on me personally. Also, they really didn't give Storm that much to do, in my opinion. That last issue kind of got on my nerves, with it being after the death of Wolverine. Storm and him were apparently getting it on, so she's in mourning for him. There's a fight to the death thing she participates in, taking his place. But S...

omg first of all, I read these as single issues and I think I'm giving this a bonus star just for the trade being called MAKE IT RAINI meanI need a minute to process that, it's so great... okay. I REALLY WANTED to like this a lot! Storm!! Hell yeah! And I do like it, especially the first few issues with her and Logan, and the COOL-ASS issues of global development and sustainability that Storm gets to work with!! I'm kinda blah about the crime syndicate stuff with Yukio? But I think I can see whe...

3/5 stars.I didn't really enjoy this that much but I think it's because I know next to nothing about X-men. Although I did really like the art style and Storm herself as a character, she didn't take crap from anybody and I loved that.

Storm. She is my goddess, and I have been waiting my whole comic book life to see her story told with the justice it deserves. (I'm still waiting to see her get the same kind of justice on the big screen, but that's another story.) When Greg Pak shared the Storm love on Twitter, I was in tears. And now that I have read all of the first issues and have this glorious volume one on my shelf, I am content. I have always liked Pak's work because he understands the characters he writes on an emotional...

Like Cyclops and Magneto, Storm is the latest X-Man to get her own solo series – and it’s not bad!There’s no real story arc here, just several one-shots and a two-parter at the end. Storm deflects a tsunami, saving a small island nation from devastation; looks for runaways in Noo Yawk; works with Forge to set up an irrigation system in an African village; and helps an old Wolverine character, Yukio, maintain her power over some underground gangs.The first story about the tsunami, and the evil pa...

Years ago, when Marvel and DC teamed up to have an epic superhero brawl between the companies, they drew up a few matches that were head scratchers: Robin vs. Jubilee, Wolverine vs. Lobo, Spider-Man vs. Superboy (here I think they just wanted to bring up the clone thing, as if acknowledgement of this tired, misbegotten, over (and mis-) used concept by both companies would somehow make it acceptable to readers. Um, no.) and Wonder Woman vs. Storm. They even had the fans vote on the outcome of the...

Storm is better than ever. Strong and powerful, but willing to humble herself. There's a lot of heart in this book, and you can feel the creative team's love for her character shine through in how they portray her. She's captivating, dignified, emotional, and even shows her playful side. And gosh darn it, she's absolutely gorgeous. Ororo certainly suits the titles of "queen" and "goddess". Storm has always been one of my favourite X-Men, and this is the perfect way to get to know her better as a...

Storm, a mutant I always saw as rather passive, takes stuff into her own two manicured hands and perfectly 90's mohawk. The stories are tie-ins for various major events in the universe, but are sadly skippable as each story arc spans no more than two issues. It's fun to see how she handles herself, though, as she wields considerable power in antithesis to her frail body. She won't ever win a fist fight, but she can easily freeze an opponent, or throw him into space with her winds, or cause destr...

Storm has always been an X-man that’s interested me. Her backstory and powers are really fascinating. So, I was excited to dive into "Storm, vol 1: Make it Rain", especially when I found out that Greg Pak was the writer.There isn’t really a cohesive plot running through this collection. It’s mostly Storm attempting to find her footing and discovering that the old ways aren’t always the best. The description of the volume makes it sound like this entire volume is her mourning the death of Wolveri...

Bullet Review:Wow, that was...underwhelming.I gave the first two issues 5 stars because they were awesome. The third issue wasn't bad, but I didn't like the art. But Issues 4 and 5 were just boring and kinda dumb. Logan is dead, so Ororo grieves - by heading to Yukio and getting into a dumb fight in an underground criminal organization. I don't feel her grief at all, Storm just seems to rush into this fight for no reason, and the resolution is just plain ridiculous. It's truly a shame because I

Gosh, it's so amazing to open up a book and just think to yourself "Oh, this is gonna be good." That's exactly what happens here. From the first frame, you get the sense that Ibañez just gets Storm. He draws her beautifully and it is a joy to behold. Greg Pak crafts a great story, too. I love the way it pulls from so many aspects of her history and personality. The book is dynamic and fun to read. There are great action scenes and character moments alike. This book is off to an excellent start a...

I loved this one!Its such a character piece on storm and there is no ultimate threat or anything but its Storm going about her life like the stories are fairly simple: Storm hels some people in Santo Marco and defies the govt there and right there and then you know her power and then a story with her finding some girl which brings her into a conflict with Callisto and I like how her nature changes confronting her one time enmy and the heartfelt moments there are amazing and I love her friendship...

Ehhhhh.It was ok. I just thought it would be cooler or something.I mean, it's Storm! But it wasn't as badass as I was hoping. Or as interesting as I was hoping.Mostly it was just a bunch of unconnected stories about Storm roaming around and doing...you know, do-gooder stuff.She saves people from bad guys, tries to find herself, has lunch with Logan, and then tries to get over his death by attempting to help one of his friends.Not a bad bunch of stuff, but I was kind of bored by the end of it. An...

In my relentless drive to explore current comics with strong girls and women characters, (okay, it's not relentless, it's just something I try to check out once in a while because it's one theme in a course on comics I teach) I turn to Storm by Greg Pak, which I only thought was okay, except it IS a comic that focuses on Storm as opposed to what usually happens, where she is a secondary character, part of a team, part of the attempt to create a diversity of characters, female beauty/eye candy.So...

I know Storm has been wearing a mohawk and low-rider pants for years, but for me, who became an X-Men fan back in the Claremont era, this will always be my favorite look for Storm:Yes, it was a lot more cheesecake (though the modern Storm still shows plenty of skin), but she was really rocking the weather goddess look.Speaking of which, in this volume there's a bit of modern revisionism to Claremont's original story of Storm being worshipped as a goddess by credulous Africans.Anyway, this collec...

Logan is considerably less hot in the comics

Storm heads out on her own to help the world in a way not many people can.Make it Rain is all about Storm helping people without the X-Men, except for some technical support from Henry McCoy. It was just Storm off doing good deeds for people who need help with the exception of Yukio. She fights off some military personnel of a place that doesn't want to help their own people and hates mutants.There really isn't much to say. She's Storm, she should be able to take down most of the characters in t...

The synopsis above says that "Thief. Goddess. Headmistress. Queen. The X-Man called Storm has always defied a single title." This is true, but the problem has always been that she all too often defies a solid, consistent characterization, too.Of course, we love her anyways.Pak does an amazingly job of making sense of Storm and sending her on a believable journey. (He kind of outs her and Callisto along the way, which was a surprise.) This is a smart and interesting book, especially the opening i...

It bothered me that there wasn't an overall story arc, the second issue seems especially out of place. Storm is one of the best superhero characters but I felt like not enough was being done with her. As a reader I felt very distant from the character and her thoughts and feelings.Also, too much of the comic, especially the last two issues focused on Logan.
