How does one refer to a character as widely respected as Storm? Are we on first name terms? Ororo just doesn’t feel right, so I’m sticking with Storm. Pak’s dialogue sizzles in this issue – I loved the interplay between Storm and Callisto, heavy with anger and frustration, nicely setting up their (very!) complicated past relationship. In truth the only part of this issue I was not keen on were Wolverine’s appearances – I guess Marvel need to get as much mileage out of the character as possible before the upcoming Death Of Wolverine event, but it just felt a little out of place. Victor Ibañez’s artwork in this issue is just as impressive as his work on #1. His elegant drawing of Storm gives a recognizable human form to the character, building on Pak’s work. Ibañez at first gives Storm a strong, confident stance – her back arched high, towering over others in the panel (the height difference between Storm and Wolverine whilst dancing in the first scene gave me a good chuckle) – reflecting Pak’s plot, in later panels (such as on page 15) Storm stands a little less tall, defensively holding her arm across her body. Ibañez’s artwork is beautifully complemented by Ruth Redmond’s deep colouring, giving each scenes its own recognisable tone – Redmond’s work in the sewer scenes is particularly impressive.
