Strange Adventures And Apparitions #147
The Uncanny X-Men #147
“Rogue Storm!”
Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum
Synopsis
The X-Men go on the offense as they escape Doom’s prisons. But what happens when Storm has flipped her lid?
Rolling Commentary
Page 3. Talk about uncomfortable landings.
Page 5. Damn it, Victor, of course its Storm. Kill her now while you can!
Page 9. Yay for Colossus figuring out Doom’s deathtrap!
Page 11. More Wolverine back story goodness…
Page 15. For some reason I really enjoy the fact that Doom understands Wolverine perfectly.
Page 16. I, uh, think this is bad thing…
Page 18. I wish Storm would stop talking like she’s Evil Jean.
Page 20. Ok, this is starting to bother me. I don’t know why, but someone has used the word “holocaust” at least once every issue this volume. What the hell? It’s not like the word is commonly used, especially as Storm is using it now. It’s just weird and off-putting. It needs to stop.
Page 21. Doom is being awfully charitable here, isn’t he? But, Doom apologize? It feels… very weird.
Post Mortem
That was… relatively easy. I mean, Storm seemed pretty relaxed about the whole thing, after being locked in her body like that for so long. Plus, clearly she’s hung out too much with Jean Grey to be acting up like that. And why is Doom allowing Arcade to be walking about his castle like that, anyway? I’d though he wasn’t pissed at him anymore or something, but then at the end he still kind of is. What’s up with that? Grr.
Still, Doom rules. And clearly he’s not being portrayed as The VYLLAIN!!1! here, which is good. I like that at the end, the X-Men and Doom aren’t all “Grrr, hate you!” at each other. Doom is such a great character because of his layers and personality. Yes, he’s a dictator, but he’s also one of the best leaders in the world. Certainly he’s the most intelligent one. So it’s nice to see a superhero team not going “Bah! You’re EVIL!!!!” at him. That being said, he still was too lenient to Arcade.
A good couple of issues in this story arc, but it just seems as though the first issue was the best one and it kind of slows down from here.
