    The Good

    Cover was ok with storms image over mother Africa.

    New black superpowerd girl, another Nigerian character added to the ranks.

    She was genuinely portrayed as scared and was convincing in that capacity.

     

    The Bad

    Generic uninspired art. Every female looks the same, backgrounds are bland and Storm was just badly written. Storm flies in to save the girl leaving the soldiers outside armed to later fire at them? Is stupid soup being sipped over at Utopia (new home of the x-men)?

     

    Another problem why the soldiers didn’t flee at the sight of this popular African goddess, queen of wakanda, Kenyan princess and American superhero is beyond me! This is Africa and storm has been worshiped here since she was a teen! She even did a ‘walkabout’ before marrying the Black Panther. How could they not recognize her and flee immediately!!? That’s just stupid!

    As for Idie she as well knew not who storm was (shakes head) is the writer trying to say Africa has no connection between regions or have never seen a tv? Because unless Nigeria was over at d.c comics in recent years Storm would have to be significant and well known in some capacity. Namely her fame as I don’t know…a Goddess?…a Queen?….member of the X-men?…member of the fantastic four?

    Un-original powers, sure Crux was not popular but this chick has the exact same powers and to top it off….. She did not look like a 12 year old.

     

    The Ugly

    1/5 it sucks!

         Admittedly the first not drunk review! Aww man now this one is gonna suck. lol The Lead Up-Everything in The Return of hope, Emma's role in Utopia, and Kitty's sacrifice at the end of Astonishing X-men in Whedon's run.  Art- The interior art is less impressive. The three artists have an excelleng understanding of debth, but occasionally the female faces just look so damn weird. This is another case of an artist who is best at drawing their own gender, happens to the best of artists. Wr...

      A Miracle 0

      The Story - In the search of the third light, Storm and Hope travel to Nigeria to track down Idie Okonkwo, a 12 year old girl who´s having trouble with her recent powers: fire and ice. Meanwhile there are some background stories involving Ice Man, Sebastian Shaw, Namor, Emma Frost and Kitty Pride, and how the last is going to team up with the White Queen to solve her problems. The Writing - This was a much better issue from the perpective of the story and character development. Ororo is a godde...
