What If...? #40

In What If...? #40, a young Ororo finds a new path when she teams up with grifter Herman Hassel in Cairo, bringing her talents to New York’s underground. When her past resurfaces and her powers awaken under duress, she’s drawn into a clash with the X-Men that forces her to confront her loyalty—and her future. Written by Ann Nocenti and illustrated by Steve Carr and Deryl Skeleton, with inks by Joe Rubinstein and colors by Tom Vincent, this alternate take on Storm’s origins features a striking cover by Carr and Skeleton.
