Last night I picked up the first trade via comixology and loved it.

This is the first time I've been able to really connect with storm as she is written in such a human way, and is shown doing more human things, and I love that. She's powerful and human at the same time--that's what I've always wanted.

What I really enjoy is that this solo series is such an introspective, mature read, as opposed to just big, dumb action. I like that Greg Pak isn't afraid to deal with issues like morality.

The art is great too:

That being said, one point of contention I've seen is that some people are turned off by the first five issues reading more like one-shots as opposed to a traditional linear story. But I've also heard that issue six picks up and gives a us an actual story arc. Can someone verify this?

I bought this book because I like Storm but I wasn't really expecting much. I'm happy I was wrong as this is one of the better books out now and I like seeing Storm in solo action.

From Storm #4 til the #11 was getting better and better. So you should continue getting all of the issues.

Because of the haircut.

Also I tried reading her series (the most recent one with the haircut) and honestly it's pretty boring :/

Inconsistent art, meandering plots that only cater to X-fans, and she's a black female heroine. Also, Storm is already featured consistently in five X-books; a solo title is a little overkill.

That being said, it's still a great book if you're a fan of the character.

Not a fan of the mohawk, but that won't keep me from reading the comic. Some of the comments here have actually persuaded me to give it a try.

I would buy it, but I kinda buy all the x-men (team) books. It looks good though.
