X-Treme X-Men #7
This trade paperback collects the final story arc of the 2004 X-Treme X-Men series, focusing on Storm as she is drawn into the deadly Arena of Morituri, a gladiatorial contest on the island nation of Genosha. With the team fractured and Rogue leading a separate mission, Storm must rely on her wits and powers to survive, while Bishop, Sage, and others confront their own challenges. The volume also includes the X-Treme X-Men Annual 2001, tying into the larger narrative of mutantkind's struggle for survival.
In "Storm: The Arena Part 1 of 4," Storm finds herself trapped in a brutal gladiatorial contest, forced to fight a mind-controlled Callisto. With Masque, the enigmatic leader of a rival Arena, pulling the strings, Storm must resist both physical combat and psychological torment as she faces off against Yukio—refusing to kill despite the stakes. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Igor Kordey, with inks by Sandu Florea, Andrew Pepoy, Norm Rapmund, and Joe Rubinstein, and colored by Transparency Digital, this issue sets a tense, high-stakes tone for the arc. The cover, by Salvador Larroca, captures Storm’s defiance amid the arena’s chaos.
