You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Mar 01, 2023Storm & the Brotherhood of Mutants #1 is an excellent kick-off. The issue drops a lot on readers, but it never feels that way. Its a killer story throughout, full of action, engaging plots, and terrific art. If this is what Sins of Sinister is going to be like, its a classic in the making. Read Full Review

The Comicbook Dispatch - Dispatchdcu
Feb 08, 2023Storm & The Brotherhood of Mutants #1 was a futuristic, semi-apocalyptic mutant story with some clever twists and fast-paced plot threads that will keep readers on their toes. X-fans will see that this issue has a ton of moving pieces and may get a bit too overwhelming through the first read. I highly recommend giving this issue a couple of looks before you judge it. However, I dont want to reread an issue multiple times to totally understand whats happening either. I want to reread for fun and not for clarity. Nevertheless, the potential is here for quite a fascinating story and a killer opening to this series. However, for anyone who may not like the futuristic, time-bending tales, this might not be your cup of Darjeeling. If you have any questions on the review or are ever interested in tackling a comic review of your own, feel free to email me directly at dispatchdcu@gmail.com. Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God Bless! Read Full Review

Feb 08, 2023This is, in fact, the second chapter of a miniseries in much the same way that Powers of X #1 was the second chapter of its own. Once readers understand that positioning, this is an easy issue to enjoy as it frames a very promising saga ahead. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Brett
Feb 08, 2023Storm & the Brotherhood of Mutants #1 is a good piece of the puzzle overall. While it doesn't totally stand on its own, the issue presents an event that's not quite as straightforward as a bad guy and those fighting against him. It adds yet another layer to the already complicated mess that was revealed in Sins of Sinister #1. As a part of the overall narrative, it's a solid addition. Read Full Review

Ewing and Medina start off with a bang, as anyone who read X-Men Red would expect. All the pieces elegantly slide into place with plenty of surprises and doublecrosses that feel simultaneously sudden and inevitable. This crossover's off to a really fantastic start!

Very nice to see consistent art and writers throughout these X-Titles. Let's all thank Al Ewing for giving us the Storm that Clairemont started.

Al Ewing at his finest. What an epic story the twist and turns and the reveal at the end. OMG!!!!! If your not reading the X Books you are missing out big time.

I would have preferred that the team was unified, but this is still interesting. I wasn't clear who the end reveal is, but it will come out. Overall great ideas.

Nice change up. It fits well and Ewing has to cover so much but it works. Paco Medina started OK but only got better as the issue went on and by the end it I'm glad he's on the next 2 issues.

This is very good. X-Men Red has been my favorite series in the current line-up, and I'm glad that the alt-reality spinoff maintains the high standard of its progenitor's quality.

A very good issue, with enough explanations for this complex storyline and a final plot twist that caught me off guard.

A pretty good space adventure here for the Brotherhood. The twist with Mystique at the end was very well-done and was my favorite part of this issue. X-Men Red has been a great book up until this point, and Al Ewing doesn't falter with the transition to this title under the Sins of Sinister event.

8.0
It features tight, snappy storytelling--plenty of quality in both prose and art. It's done well enough to make it a good comic and a fun read. I appreciate that this issue makes some firm continuity nods toward my favorite parts of X-Men: Red. But there's not too much real plot here (it's awfully recap-y), and there's a lurking big-picture problem. Choosing to homage/recycle the premise of Powers of X puts the whole event in a long shadow, and it'll be a challenge for the creators (talented though they be) to fight their way out of it.
