Storm: Earth's Mightiest Mutant #5

[mastermahan]

The last issue of Murewa Ayodele Storm came out this week, having lasted a respectable twenty issues. It dies as it lived - utterly insane.



When our last issue ended, alternate universe Storm's mom had left her stranded on the other side of the Omniverse after short detours through Jujutsu Kaisen and Gachiakuta. Really. Storm goes to ask Eternity if she can get a ride back home. He has criticism to offer.







But how is Storm going to get home, then?




Oh.




Fin.

' See a 2000s Chris Claremont story! Or just read the wiki, you won't miss much. '

Ah, can't have an X-story singing the glory of a Not New Not Different whithout craping on an Academy X kid. Poor Armor.

-"See X-Treme X-Men"-
Yes. You, the reader, go hunt down a copy of a nearly twenty-five year old comic which wasn't exactly brilliant when it was fresh and re-read through all of it to understand what's going on!
Eh. Let's not and just say we did.


So, Arakko is just filled with otherdimensional zombies now, apparently?

(also, what's up with the giant frogs on the cover?)

[mastermahan]

Per Ayodele's twitter, his original plan was that Storm would team up with Uranos to beat the zombies.

Eternity has a giant salamander that acts as his receptionist. Again, not making this up.

[cainofdreaming]

Huh. I thought it was the medium size salamander that was part of the Arakkoan council. Mo' salamanders, I guess.

[scorntx]

Giant salamanders acting as receptionists. Of course. Why not?

Wait a mo'... teaming up with Uranos? That actually makes sense. What's the writer playing at?

I suppose Marvel Unlimited does make it easier to track down back issue content these days. Which makes it all the more frustrating when books refuse to include such callout boxes.

Oh, my goddess!

I was joking about it earlier with someone but they really made it official.

"Why would the FBI be harassing me, a perfectly innocent criminal? Surely it wasn't because I helped Xavier escape; that was a whole week ago, get over yourselves."

This is some Hal Jordan levels of "I'm not the problem, the universe is the problem"

[jlbarnett]

in Marvel I'm fine with that

But honestly, Storm being in this level stuff is weir to me

[beyondthefringe]

"All those storylines? Storm wins. Next!"

An utterly ridiculous ending to an absolutely bonkers story. The writer should have known better and the editor is a miserable failure.

The best we can hope for is this is never spoken of again.

There's some pretty strong "they told me to end my story early" vibes in this.

STORM WINS

FATALITY (of the title)
