The thing about revenge is sometimes it leaves you shortsighted. The vengeance becomes your drive and anger takes you to certain places. More often than not, that deep hate that you have in your gut is never really sufficed once you get your revenge. It often leaves you hardened and distrustful.
This is often how people who have been wronged hurt other people. As it has been said a thousand times, hurt people hurt people. Time does not make any of this easier. In the debut issue of Storm and The Brotherhood Of Mutants, we find Storm and her band of mutants as they carry out a trail of vengeance across Hell.
We find Storm on her planet of Arrako, which was another place where mutants could live and thrive, but ten years after what Mister Sinister had unleashed on Krakoa, as her legions had been depleted because of war, the planet destroyed, leaving her people scattered but she is not ready to bow down to anyone especially Mister Sinister. Hope shows up at Storm’s court in the form of Mystique who offers a way to even the odds and restore Arrako. This leads her and the Brotherhood Of Mutants to Muir Island, to destroy the clone of Moira Mctaggert, By the issue’s end, they are double-crossed by Mystique, but she is double crossed by her wife, not knowing she was only a pawn that got sacrificed.
Overall, Storm and the Brotherhood of Mutants #1 is an excellent debut which shows what happens when everything goes wrong. The story by Ewing is a class in world building. The art by the creative team is wonderful. Altogether, a great story that shows our heroes when they have their backs against the wall.
