Marvel Comics will celebrate Storm’s 50th anniversary this April with Storm #7. In this issue, the Gods of Thunder gather together and Storm’s own divine skills are put to the test in a breathtaking battle. This issue is written by Murewa Ayodele and has art by Luciano Vecchio.
“Creative titans Len Wein and Dave Cockrum changed the world of Marvel and mutants with Giant-Sized X-MEN #1, and this year they plan to do the same with STORM #7,” Ayodele said. I promise. “Bold words, I know. But that’s because I read the picture problems.”
“During the past 50 years of publishing, Storm has played the X-Man, Wakandan, a member of the Fantastic Four, an Avenger, and more. As she steps into this new phase of her life, her role will be expanded to Marvel We transform to become one with the Universe and face a soul-crushing cosmic effort to protect what we hold dear, but first we face a brutal battle with the mighty Gods of Thunder. We need a brawl.”
So what is Storm #7?

Fifty years ago, Ororo Munroe roared into our hearts when he debuted in Giant-Sized X-MEN #1. On this day, she will host her own solo series that combines debuts, reinventions, and guest appearances from five legendary thunder gods: THOR, CHAAC, SANGO, MAMARAGAN, and SUSANOO. But first, the mission to Brazil goes horribly wrong. How much longer can our hero hold out?
“I approached the design of the God of Thunder in a two-step process,” Vecchio explained. “First, we design each god based on Murewa’s descriptions and inspirational references, reflecting the culture and real-world iconography of each to which they belong. But this is the Marvel Universe, so second The goal was to inject a Kirby-like fantasy vibe and incorporate design elements from the original Thor and Storm to give them a cohesive feel while still maintaining their individuality. It’s about making sure it’s a version of the God of Thunder that can only exist in the universe.”
“We feel like we are supporting the return of Storm and are honored to be part of the dream team behind this special issue series,” Vecchio added. “It’s been a lot of fun working on Murewa’s script. I love reuniting with Ororo after portraying him in The Resurrection of Magneto.”
