Dear Reader,
Thank you for taking the time to explore stormantic.com, your source for all things deemed relevant by the creature known as STORM. In order to help you find your way to what might interest you, please allow me to reveal some key words that you may wish to use to navigate this blog.
Galaxy Runway. Supermodel Sorceress of the Cosmic Catwalk as seen in the pages of SwankSpeak!. Her story will be told in Princess Witch Boy #4.
Heroic Tarot Tuesday. A weekly examination of all things tarot as seen through STORM’s perspective, directly relating to his Heroic Tarot business, for which he won a Best of the Bay Award from SF Weekly. See also: X-Men Tarot.
Princess Witch Boy. STORM’s memoir-fantasy comic book about a young boy who transforms into three different women in his imagination in times of trouble. Prominent characters include Replica, Velvet and Galaxy Runway.
Replica. Shape-shifting super-spy of the planet Cerulan. Her story is chronicled in Princess Witch Boy #2, available on Etsy.
Storm. Refers to the member of the X-Men whose elemental powers and fearless leadership have made her a fan favorite the world over, in spite of her less than stellar celluloid representation by the same actress who also sullied Catwoman’s big screen feature. In a perfect world, Iman would have played Ororo Munroe in the movies.
Storm Sunday. A weekly look at the above mentioned X-Man in which yours truly examines some aspect of Ororo’s depiction in comics. At times a bit biographical, hopefully informative and largely pictorial in nature. Search in combination with Original Art to see the sketches I have collected from my recent Con attendances.
stormantic. Refers to the larger than life creature known as STORM whose insistence for having his name in all caps is a distraction for many, obnoxious to some and proof of his superstar status for others. All art and writing by STORM is tagged by this handle. It is a combination of the word “storm,” having to do with the weather, and the word “mantic,” referencing prophecy.
Velvet. A half-human, half-djinn (genie) superhero from Princess Witch Boy. Her story will be chronicled in issue #3 (forthcoming).
White Queen Wednesday. A weekly look at Emma Frost of the X-Men, written by guest blogger and comics aficionado Ken Kneisel.
X-Men Tarot. A system of divination that STORM created from a 90s Jim Lee era playing card deck.
For more assistance, you may consult the Category Cloud, Category List, or simply type in a word in the Search area.

Hi Storm! I just discovered your blog and I love it! Storm is one of my favorite characters, and all-time favorite X-Man (especially in her classic look). I’m glad someone out there is voicing exactly what I think and feel about her. She is an icon.

Thought you might wanna see them if you haven’t!^_^
Storm, not sure why, but this is my first time to your site. LOVE it! And I emphatically agree… IMAN should have played Ororo.
Loving you,
Tower
hey storm. this is james murray (stg & myspace friend). i just signed up for a blogspot AND wordpress, still deciding which one i like more. both are very foreign and confusing to me as far as picking a simple yet attractive layout that organizes everything accordingly. i dig the simplicity of your layout and just wanted to know which template you used (if any). any other tips will be helpful and most appreciated. my blog looks like a disaster right now. shoot me an email or message me on myspace of facebook. everettmurrayjames@yahoo.com
Love your White Queen Wednesday posts! May I repost at emmafrostfiles.com? You can e-mail me if you’d like. Lemme know.
Sorry I didn’t call you post-APE, someone packed up my Princess Witch Boy copy with your number in my box [which my roommates hauled back to San Diego] and it made me sad faced.
Glad I got to talk to you and dance like a fucking fooool at the Isotope party. You’re absolutely lovely and I REALLY liked PWB – excellent read.

I agree with the Iman comment. With a bleached version of Tina Turner’s wig from Mad Max Beyone Thunderdome.
Halle Berry = not fierce and independent as Storm at all. She’s like a little sex kitten. Halle Berry would have made a better Rogue.
Grace Jones might have made a better Morlock-leader firece leather clad killing machine storm, though, but if the timeline is pre Yukio, and post growing out the mohawk, Iman would be it.
I couldn’t agree more. Iman would have made a perfect Storm.
