While coloring my big Fall project, I took a break and decided to work on everyone’s projects, and even scratch out a quickee project for my own enjoyment too.
I drew a head, then a drew a mohawk…I leaned back and said “That’s Storm!”
Here is a grid I promised you guys. It’s not all Medusa, but I decided to pick few best ladies of Marvel and forgive my tardiness, I had some very important business to attend to. So here it is.
Thanks to Gentle because that lightning could have killed Ororo. So Ororo needed medical attention for that kick in her face? Gabby must have kicked her really hard.
How delightful of Marvel for introducing a new article about the upcoming new Uncanny X-men where we see Storm’s head slashed because this is Marvel.
Jean gets to be the center of everything alongside with Kitty, Havok, Rogue and Storm who are possibly the leaders for this upcoming event. I can be wrong. Maybe the slash indicate something more sinister? Maybe they’re the one who might die? Here’s how Marvel describes the story: “X-MEN DISASSEMBLED brings together nearly every mutant left on earth in a story that threatens to destroy them – an epic tale of mystery and tragic disappearance, with an adventure so earth-shattering, it could very well be the X-Men’s FINAL mission!”
So Marvel’s interpretation of an event is to bring all those that are active in one book and start dismantling them? Are they going to go against each other? Is Marvel killing them? This scares me a little since Storm’s head has been cut off for some reason. Maybe they make you second-guess that Storm is not the big thing in this event and that her experience is going to drive us where she was mindhacked dozen of times by the Shadow King? Storm has history upon history with the Shadow King possessing her mind and using her to go against her fellow mutants. The way Marvel treated Storm recently makes me wonder how she’s gonna be treated for the new event. If I had to guess, I’d say Marvel is teasing us. You cannot always look on the bright side. If you look on the bright side of things, you’re optimistic. It can be tough to be optimistic when everyone else is complaining about Marvel. You can’t have a positive outlook all the time, even with the help of that “she’s the only AA (black) so she’s safe for now”. Just because Storm is black and she’s in the “front center”, doesn’t mean she’s going to be save while thinking those that are farther back are a bad sign and are going to get killed somehow. Being overly optimistic can make you lose touch with what is realistic. Marvel can mock us in believing the front characters are safe but it can end up the other way around. What if they’re fooling with us? What if some of those on the back are the significant ones for the upcoming event? The trick can be right in front of our face.
Let me put it this way: Today the Extermination #1 came out. We get to see the original five together with Bloodstorm from the AU. YAY?
It was so good to see Bloodstorm in this event. It was revealed that Cyclops and Bloodstorm were having a date at a restaurant and everything seemed to be going just fine until
UGH. The problem with this was, of course, unforeseen. I did not expect Marvel to have Bloodstorm killed straightaway. It’s a shame and proof that Marvel undermined Storm many times. Fans wouldn’t dare say it, but you need to admit she’s not what many people intended her to be. I see no “high pedestal” nor do I see Storm being treated “better” than any other characters. I mean, LOOK AT HER laying dead in cold blood. They care so little about Storm.
Yes, she’s fucking dead…can you believe that? No? Let me make this page more clear for you.
Look at her: she’s disintegrating from the inside out. Just like when a vampire gets killed they start fading away or turning into ash.
Marvel brought Bloodstorm just to have her excluded from this book as a whole. Sadly we won’t see Bloodstorm from this moment on. I will not be surprised in the least if Marvel doesn’t offer an explanation for her death but I think I get the reasoning behind this. What a complete waste of a character. This is so evident that Marvel is treating Storm like she doesn’t matter anymore. If they killed the original Cyclops, Jean Grey (but brought her back after many years), Banshee and now old Cable what doesn’t make you guys think they won’t kill the original Storm in the upcoming book of Disassembled? Marvel is trying to screw Storm over and making her seem less valuable because even those that are placed in the front center can also be mistreated and even get the short end of the stick just like you’ve seen here. Although it seems to me those on the back are more safe than those on the front. Let’s hope it’s not what I’m thinking. Because we have Storm’s head slashed and Bloodstorm dead. I don’t think that’s a good sign.

Another GORGEOUS look! This is one of my favorite costume Marvel ever gave her. I really love her headdress. It has the feel of a queen (she IS the queen of Genosha). Oh she’s fabulous!
