Storm Joins the Avengers

The mutant goddess is finally becoming one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

More news from New York Comic Con. Despite Storm agreeing to side with Cyclops after X-Men: Schism, it looks like she's joining the Avengers.

No Caption Provided

Starting in January's Avenger #19, written by Brian Michael Bendis and art by Daniel Acuña, the mutant goddess will have to juggle her time between the X-Men and Avengers. When will she find time to spend with her husband? Actually, when was the last time they actually spent any time together?

It's ok. I guess it's also good to be pessimistic sometimes so you won't expect much.

i learned quite an excellent quote during my short time on this earth: Hope for the best, and Expect the worse. Then, at least, you are never surprised.

@jhazzroucher: I'd like that! Her h2h is SOOOOO underrated. Based on her fight with the black panther's gaurds (worlds apart) and other villains. I say she could take on black widow in hand to hand based on prior fight information of course. I like black widow btw.

So true. Putting all biased Storm Love aside. I find that crazy how that managed to happen. Although I wonder how powerful the dora milaje are.. Either I think this means Storm can take them and even the black widow. Which is rather impressive.

sigh.....Agreed. I am not seeing what Marvel sees in Bendis's writing of this title so far, or why he may take over X-Men. Storm's run in this title has been an epic job-fest and disaster for the 3 pages she has shown up in 4 going on 5 issues -__-....

Wow... So here is the whole story so far. 
Story joins the avengers and they all get their butts kicked. Matter of fact Storm gets knocked out twice........ 
 
You know what, Marvel? Next time you want to cheat me out of my money, why don't you switch it up a bit? Just break into my house and TAKE it this time, at least that way the story will be interesting.

Go thank Bendis for the amount of dumps he's going to take on her. Nothing good can be found in this sort of situation.

I am going to write a letter. I hate this picture.. Not only does she get incaped twice on her debut, they artist made Storm look ugly.. *sigh* And we ALL know Storm has to be one of the hottest women in Marvel. Personally, I think her and Emma tie for first place.

@poisonfleur: Her looks are what irritates you? This whole situation shows how littles he knows about this character.

1. Storm is Claustrophobic so her in a bubble would not be so...calm.

2. Couldn't she easily blow up everything around her? She doesn't generate weather she manipulates it, so the lightning bolt thing was stupid.

3. Thanks for bringing all this up and list me as a refrence for other PO'd Storm fans

sigh I had such high hopes for this team. My three favorite characters Captain America, Hawkeye and Storm together for perhaps the only time :( and Bendis ruins it!

@Blood1991: I'm in agreement with you there. Storm is at her best when she's adamant and actively fighting for a cause. Holier than thou (for lack of a better term) Storm ticks me off and useless Storm is almost as bad.

@The Dark Huntress: My Storm love is pretty much lingering from great moments like the one I put up. The Storm Marvel has used in the last ten years is treally just a hollow shell of a great character.

@Blood1991 Ah, yes. The Valkyrie Incident. To be fair, Valkyrie actually IS a goddess.

Overall, though, she does seem to et trounced upon. It'd be nice to see her built up as a respected persona, as she should be.

@Blood1991 said: Oh Lordy, the way the artist drew her in this book is just the icing on the cake of this disastrous story.  
1) As said before: Storm spent more time being unconscious on the team as opposed to being part of it. 
2) The bubble idea was dumb- all the way around. I am not sure if being in a bubble would spark claustrophobia. Although you bring up a valid point. Still the bubble idea was dumb. 
3) Using Storm as a selling point for this story was dumb. There was no reason for her to join the Avengers for this story.
4) Being a storm fan, I judge the writers and artists hard. I don't like the way she looked in this panel. Her head looks to round, she looks like a pudgy, angry, old lady in the bottom three panels. Considering I was already ticked about the entire situation as a whole, it didn't help that the art wasn't up to my standards.  
5) He whole Avengers debut was ruined just to showcase other Avengers. It's as if Marvel didn't care.. That makes me upset. I am going to just stick with X-men from now on to get my Storm fix. Hopefully they will have some better writers.   
6) Storm's power aren't just flight and lightning. The writers should AT LEAST know this.
 
Btw. I loved the panels you posted. Storm had an unquestionable tone and each panel evoked beauty, fear, power, strength, and justice. She'd give any goddess a run for her money.

@The Dark Huntress: I think Val deserved that one, and it was well done so I was pleasantly suprised. I dunno the Avengers thing is just weird to me. Her joining must just be a side plot for something in Avengers vs X-Men. Which is going to be depressing for me, since Storm is an Avenger and Bendis is supposibly ending his run with it :(. My chance for ultimate nerdgasm was

was shot down before it even had a chance.

@poisonfleur: I think my saddness surpasses all of you guys XD my trinity got their asses kicked and poor Storm and Hawkeye were treated terribly. I agree with the art being sucky in that panel especially since I usually like the style to some degree. I too judge the writers of my favs very hard ^^ but as of now any Roro is better than noo Roro because we were completly denied Storm for a LONG while. I mentioned the power thing too. Storm could easily do what Quake did. Oh and thanks I loved that old story though I wasn't even born when it was written lol

If you read this Bendis know we are not amused!

It's almost as if people have forgotten that Storm frequently appears in Uncanny X-Men and Security Recon, yet none of the events that transpire within those pages are talked about, only the crappy events that happen in this crappy book for this crappy team written by a crappy writer. Come on, be serious.

Yeah that scan of her being tapped is so dumb,She can literally attack with outside force.She could call down a damn sky bolt through the ceiling and zap everyone in that place,or create a rogue ass wind ... 
 
*le sigh* 
 
That was just idiotic writing by Bendis.

@Blood1991:  I guess Val deserved that one,but at the same time If Storm was written PROPERLY,she would have usually destroyed Valkyrie....realistically speaking. Like WTF Storm usually doesn't even fight that close to characters with superior strength or durability. (what a derp move)
 
Even though Valkyrie IS an actual Goddess,Storm is much more powerful.
