    Sweet news!

    http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stori...0/28/storm.htm

    Eric Jerome Dickey, author of New York Times bestsellers Thieves' Paradise, The Other Woman, and Genevieve, has signed on for a six-issue Storm series scheduled to debut in February, coinciding with Black History Month.

    Here's how Marvel describes the series:

    "Dickey's Storm story arc will present an epic romance, revealing the untold love story of the world's two most popular African American Super Heroes, Ororo (also known as Storm of the X-Men) and T'Challa (a.k.a. The Black Panther), the world's first African American Super Hero. Marking Dickey's first comic book writing effort, the captivating series blends romance and adventure against the backdrop of Africa's cruel plains.

    "The six-issue series follows how the famed African Prince T'Challa crosses paths with Ororo, an orphaned street urchin who only survives by sheer wit as her mutant powers are still in their infancy. As the story and romance unfold, the duo come together to fight against a mutual foe who seeks to put them in a cage and exploit them toward wicked ends."

    David Yardin will be the artist.

    "I never would have imagined that I'd get an opportunity to step into the Marvel Universe and work on Storm," Dickey said. "She is such a remarkable character. And being allowed to incorporate T'Challa, the future Black Panther in the same series...wake me up because I have to be dreaming."

    Speak for yourself. In my near 25 years of comic reading, X-Men in particular, I can think of several artists who have done Storm justice.

    I am curious who Mayhew used for reference, though.
    Money can't buy you happiness, but it will pay for the search.

    Those eyes look off.

    And just so you know, odds are that Mayhew isn't doing the interiors.
    Apparently ninja revisionist history spread the lie that pirate conquistadors are no match for ninjas.

    The eyes are fine, it's just that the left eye lid is creating a shadow so it appears off but isnt. And yeah Storm looks cool in this.

    Okay, I thought it might...when I hit the "back" link on the image it took me to an unrelated page, and I didn't want to dig to find out for sure.

    that eye looks wrong to me too. but I think its right

    I might have been influenced by seeing von doom's post before the picture though.

    Either way thats a poor design decesion by the artist.
    When Techs light actors for film and TV, there always looking for shadows like that ,that make the actors look bad .They'll just remove them using another light even tho it makes no logical lighting sense in the scene itself.

    Going for the most realistic lighting is cool and all,but if it makes the character youre drawing look badly designed in any way, you need to use some artistic license and remove the problem imho.
