“Covenants Broken”

In What If...? #79: "Covenants Broken", writer Sarah Byam and artist Franchesco explore a chilling alternate path where Storm—rather than Jean Grey—becomes the vessel of the Phoenix Force. Piloting a space shuttle through Earth’s atmosphere, she is consumed by the cosmic power, ascending to rule the world with a seemingly perfect but merciless order. Cover by Mike Wieringo and Terry Austin captures the haunting grandeur of this transformed Storm, while the story unfolds with quiet dread, following those who dare to challenge her reign.
