So why is STORM bagged?

[lonesomefool]

I was at the comic shop today and noticed they bagged the Storm comic. They dont bag Punisher or most of the Vertigo books (unless they have hardcore sex scenes). So what is so controversial about the book that got it bagged, I didnt bother asking the comic shop guy cause he was busy packing back issues.

[stealthwise]

Wasn't bagged in my store, senor.

Storm has her own comic ?

Storm has her own comic ?

Yeah. She's gotten to big to be just with X-Men. I think that it is ANOTHER re-telling of her origins. Maybe in another few years there will be another re-telling and so on.

It's a mini written by Eric Jerome Dickey who did some novels I dont know of, and the artist that was on District X, I cant remember his name. I know it's supposed to tie-into the Black Panther/Storm wedding.

Dickey has written several urban romance novels.

Ah, ok, I'm not a big Novel reader so most of these guys coming into comics I simply dont know, thanks though.

I think it's because in it she disembowels a vagrant and then has "relations" with his corpse before calling down a tsunami to take away the evidense. Hope this helps.

Funny, when I read the title of this thread I thought that it had something to do with Black Panther and was prepared to say "Because Marvel thinks it wil make money that way."

Well shit. Why didn't anyone tell that sooner? I'd have bought it.

[lonesomefool]

Yeah, it says a lot about me that I would buy a issue of Storm if that actually happened. I need to get a therapist.

As an aside, here, you know Lois Lane once broke down the word to "The Rapist?"

[WhiteRose]

Yeah. She's gotten to big to be just with X-Men. I think that it is ANOTHER re-telling of her origins. Maybe in another few years there will be another re-telling and so on.


She is the Power Girl of the Marvel company.

I've never really noticed that Storm was about to fall over from being top-heavy, but okaaayyy.

[lonesomefool]

Ah, I found out from someone at the Bendis board who was discussing the issue, turns out #1 and #2 used the "N" word very liberally. Kinda funny how a book like Punisher (which I love) is open to kids to flip through them when it has naked women and Guts flying everywhere, but a book without a parental advisory get's bagged. I guess I can understand WHY the store did it, it's just kinda funny is all.

Actually, I remember that from an episode of Three's Company. Janet was such a space cadet.

[Samurai]

Because it contains black people in love. Seeing that may scar young children.

[SalazarSleaze2]

Is this really another "let's explore Storm's past" book?

Why can't they just give her a decent book about her current adventures and her present-day life?
That I would buy.
