Storm has been on a whirlwind journey over the past several years; the final stretch oftheX-franchise’s Krakoan Erafeatured her becoming a mutant leader even greater than her mentors Professor X and Magneto, and the character’s new prominence outside of her role inX-Menhas only continued her evolution. For that reason Marvel’s newStormongoing series is perhaps one of the most exhilarating books in the publisher’s roster right now, especially with the fantastic art that has come out of it so far.

A new feat of power from Storm helps solidify her as one of X-Men’s strongest Omega mutants, whilst introducing something completely different.
As series artist Lucas Werneck put it:
Fashion is always one of the many tools that I reach for when looking for inspiration. You can tell so much about a character through their clothes, and this kind of visual narrative is something that I love. Now you can imagine how excited I was when Marvel gave me the opportunity and space to work with the fashion of such an iconic character like Ororo.
I’m really trying to give her a sense of style. I imagine her having this kind of goddess aura, but she also has so much humanity in her, so the challenge here is to translate all of the aspects that define her in the way she dresses, moves, talks—the way that she lives. I’m having so much fun, and I hope that the fans enjoy all the tiny details that we’re building for her along with all the surprises that we cooking in this series.
Werneck understands just how important costuming is to a hero. To loosely adopt an old phrase, it’s not the costume that makes the person but the person who makes the costume – but in this context,Storm’s new costume is a necessary means of symbolically reflecting a new era for the character. Werneck wants to create a piece of iconography to make Storm feel like the goddess she needs to be depicted as, and the above is the finished product.

The Marvel Universe as a whole is facing a new paradigm in a post-Krakoa world, with Storm being pulled into multiple directions as a result. There’s a lot that this new era means forStorm as far as her connections to Marvel’s superteamsis concerned, but more than anything,this is an era where Storm is being elevated as a hero higher than she ever has before. As a result, she needs to look the part, but Werneck and co. are working hard to re-buildStormas not just a star, but a superstar her character is deserving of.
