Marvel Comics Unveils New ‘STORM’ Series By Murewa Ayodele And Lucas Werneck

Marvel Comics has officially unveiled an exciting new chapter for one of its most iconic characters. This October, the goddess of the weather, Storm, will headline her own ongoing series. Crafted by the talented writer Murewa Ayodele and brought to life by the skilled artist Lucas Werneck, this series promises to redefine Storm’s role within the Marvel Universe.

In the aftermath of the dramatic fall of Krakoa, Storm, also known as Ororo Munroe, steps up as Earth’s primary protector. This new series will explore her responsibilities and challenges in a world without the sanctuary that Krakoa once provided. The narrative will delve deep into her evolution from a powerful mutant leader to a key member of the Avengers, highlighting her resilience, strength, and leadership.

Set in the X-Men’s highly anticipated “From the Ashes” era, the new “STORM” series marks a significant evolution for Ororo Munroe. Known for his work on “Akogun: Brutalizer of Gods” and his recent Marvel debut with “MOON KNIGHT: BLACK, WHITE & BLOOD” and “I AM IRON MAN,” Ayodele brings a fresh and dynamic perspective to Storm’s story. Werneck, celebrated for his contributions to recent X-Men titles like “IMMORTAL X-MEN” and “SINS OF SINISTER,” will bring his detailed and expressive artistry to the series. Werneck has also designed a stunning new costume for Storm, heralding her venture into solo storytelling.

In the wake of Krakoa’s fall, Storm’s role as Earth’s primary protector becomes more crucial than ever. From her new superhero headquarters in Atlanta, she will make decisions that shape the future of the Marvel Universe. Her bold actions will not only stir forces on Earth but also attract powerful enemies from beyond.

The series promises to elevate Storm to unparalleled heights. Known for her roles as a thief, goddess, X-Man, and queen, Ororo Munroe now steps into the world as an Avenger. She is poised to be a force for positive change, leveraging her position as the most prominent and respected mutant on the global stage.

The first major storyline kicks off with a dramatic meltdown at a nuclear facility in Oklahoma City. This incident draws Storm from her Sanctuary in Atlanta and thrusts her into a moral conflict that will test her iron resolve. The series will be packed with guest stars, including her fellow Avengers and X-Factor’s Frenzy, among others.

Ayodele has assured fans that Storm will face extreme danger in this series. “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,” he stated. The series will explore threats beyond Omega-level, promising extraordinary superheroism that pushes Storm to her limits.

The narrative is set to build towards gargantuan conflicts that will shake the universe, spanning from Earth to the Dimension of Manifestations. Ayodele emphasized that the series will be rich with humanity, love, mystery, adventure, heartbreak, and intense action.

With Tom Brevoort, the editor behind Marvel’s most universe-shattering events, Lucas Werneck’s genius-level attention to design, and Ayodele’s compelling storytelling, the “STORM” series is set to be a monumental addition to the Marvel Universe. Werneck expressed his excitement and dedication to the project, saying, “We’re working with so much love and devotion on this project, and I hope that fans enjoy it as much as we’re enjoying making it.”

As anticipation builds for the series launch in October, Marvel fans can look forward to witnessing Storm in an entirely new light. This ongoing series is poised to be one of the year’s biggest launches, showcasing Storm’s incredible journey and her pivotal role in the Marvel Universe. Prepare for an “ETERNAL STORM” as Ororo Munroe ascends to new heights, ready to face challenges that will test her strength, resilience, and heroism like never before.
