If this whole chapter is just showing Wolverine, Colossus, and Blade and have Storm just make a crappy cameo...Then i'll pass!

Nice action sequence, and Blade reveal. Storm getting off the couch is a bonus, too. She apparently isn't holding a grudge with Logan off the whole X-Force thing.

Nice intro by Blade.

Love the art and the action sequences.

I appreciate this artist a lot more when he's drawing the male characters.
He's really an amazing penciler and has fantastic backgrounds. And of course he has that tendancy to boob-ify his ladies, whatever their ages, but in Storm's case it works. She looks regal and intimidating. I love it.

And I don't even CARE about Blade but that intro to him was awesome.
I might have to give this Vampire / X-Men deal a second thought.

The water tower part, I would like to refer to as a "FAILstball Special."

Storm has a personal stake in this vampy business. She's got bad blood with their King or whatever so she's not going to just lie down and take it. All kinds of puns!!!

I guess Warren got fired and replaced by Storm for providing inadequate air cover.

I think Colossus might need to be replaced for that terrible fastball special. I suppose having both Kitty and Illyana around again is making him lax.

If they think that makes him unique, they should think again. Hellcat and Agent Brand are now doing the fastball special. The copyright has expired.

looks good. i like colossus's hair when they're wet. what's up with the little patch of his costume missing in the back in the tramp stamp area though lol.

It would totally suck if storm became a cameo queen in this series as well as uncanny x-men...

Good work from medina. Not my first choice for a comic like this but his work is okay, i guess. His style reminds me of humberto ramos' for some reason. Thats whats putting me off medina at the moment.
