I’ll admit, I’m a very late comer to the Hell’s Kitchen party. I only just binged on Daredevil about a month and a half ago, and I’m only halfway through Jessica Jones. However, the two shows (in my mind) couldn’t be more different. Daredevil‘s strongest storyline was the evolution of Wilson Fisk as the Kingpin.

It is a rare book indeed that makes me like Storm. And yet here I sit, thinking about how much I enjoyed Storm in Extraordinary X-Men #1, one of the many, post-Secret Wars books that Marvel is starting to put out.

While I’m uncertain how Secret Wars will transition into this particular book, I’m rather pleased with what I’ve seen so far. Continue reading
