Storm & the Brotherhood of Mutants #3

Storm & the Brotherhood of Mutants #3 takes the baton that Immoral X-Men #3 passed it and runs with it. Its built on a pretty standard X-Men trope, but Ewing does great new things with it, which is basically the most Ewing thing ever. Vitti and Beredos art is excellent, bringing the story to life in a way that really makes it sing. Year 1000 has so far blown the rest of SoS out of the water, and this issue shows why.

The universe is winding down, burning out as Sinister's corruption leaves little room to spread. Al Ewing's dark, character driven writing and Alessandro Vitti's startling art create a world that is a lot of fun to visit though not even Sinister would want to live there. Read Full Review

Storm & the Brotherhoodis a must-read for any Storm fan, but the third issue especially will likely earn some mixed responses. Lovers of tragedy will adore it, while anyone hoping to see a happy ending for Storm and her Brotherhood will be sorely disappointed. But really, in the midst of the death of dreams, only the most sinister will earn their dominion. Read Full Review

While the absence of X-Men Red has been noted, Storm & The Brotherhood of Mutants has provided a satisfying spinoff and the best standalone miniseries in "Sins of Sinister." Read Full Review

Storm and the Brotherhood of Mutants #3 is one of the best showings in the Sins of Sinister event, and I wished we had kept this pacing up in earlier issues. Read Full Review

Ewing writes a perfect Storm.

A very entertaining final issue for this miniseries. I absolutely love how powerful Storm's been portrayed by Al Ewing as of late. Emma Frost and Mister Sinister are done well here, also. Just like Immoral X-Men #3, I really enjoyed Vitti's art here. Good stuff.

This installment is all about superficial, over-the-top spectacle, which the script delivers in spades. There's plenty of action here, and it's all essential to the larger story. For me, this issue doesn't stand up so well on its own, though. The prose is infected with a bunch of pseudo-epic poetry (think Jason Aaron on one of his worse days) and while the art is solid, its grungy style really doesn't fit the cosmic scale of the action. Even the world-building details lovingly wedged in around the action are of limited value. Knowing that they have a 2-issue lifespan at best, it's really hard to get worked up about new mutant characters, new chimeras, new clones, and so on. It's good, it's satisfying, it's important. But subjective ly, at least, it's not a lot of fun. more

One of the issues with this event is that a ton is introduced, but there’s no depth. A lot happens with the reader having no idea how it happens, too.
