Marvel Comics has revealed new variant covers for Storm #1, out October 2nd. The covers are by Werneck showcasing Storm’s new costume as well as a gorgeous pinup piece from Jeehyung Lee that will also be available as a virgin variant cover. The first issue will also feature a Gold Foil Variant cover by Jerome Opeña. Storm is written by Murewa Ayodele, the acclaimed writer behind Akogun: Brutalizer of Gods, with art by Lucas Werneck.
On the challenges Storm will face, Ayodele said, “As a fan of Storm, her duties to the X-Men, and what she stands for in various real-world communities, I would like to assure the audience that Storm is in danger. Extremely so. We love Ororo Munroe, and that is why we have crafted a thrilling story that will put the strength of her character on wide-open display.”
So what’s Storm about?
Storm has never needed a throne to rule the skies. Now, watch in awe as this new series elevates her to the heights that only she can reach!
Ororo Munroe has lived many lives. She’s been a thief, a goddess, an X-Man, a queen, and now… an Avenger! She is the most prominent, most respected and most powerful mutant on the world stage—and in that role, she intends to be a force for positive change.
First up: a major meltdown at a nuclear facility in Oklahoma City draws Storm from her Sanctuary in Atlanta—and into a moral conflict that will test her iron resolve! As one of the year’s biggest launches, it’ll be packed with guest stars including Storm’s fellow Avengers, X-Factor’s Frenzy, and more!
