Storm #4

Part four of Marvel's six-issue limited series subtitled "Prelude to the Wedding of the Century," this 2006 issue captures the tender heart of Storm's story in a striking cover by Mike Mayhew — a rain-soaked, lightning-charged moment between a young Ororo and a young man, their faces drawn close together in an almost-kiss, both drenched and luminous against a stormy purple sky. It's an unusually intimate image for a superhero comic, leaning into romance and emotion rather than action. With Eric Jerome Dickey's script and art from Lan Medina and David Yardin, this series offers a genuinely different side of one of Marvel's most beloved characters.
