Marvel continues to highlight everyone’s favorite weather Goddess this year and will spotlight Storm in honor of both Black History Month and her 50th anniversary as a Marvel character. Entitled STORM: LIFEDREAM, this special Marvel’s Voices comic one-shot will revisit the character’s best moments throughout her longstanding history and will feature brand new stories by Karen S. Darboe and Olivier Coipel, plus will even host art from the artist of her current solo series, Lucas Werneck.
Though probably the best thing about this one to me is that the entire project will be spearheaded by Marvel’s Voices creator Angélique Roché, an acclaimed journalist and superstar podcaster who was the host of both the Marvel’s Voices and Women of Marvel podcast for years. Roché served as one of the best champions of genuine representation at Marvel for years, and to be quite candid, was a personal favorite I’d loved listening to.
Check out the issue’s preview pages and unique covers below, where you can also read the official Marvel press release.
For Black History Month, Marvel Comics will continue its tradition of highlighting Black characters and uplifting Black voices with a special Marvel’s Voices comic one-shot.

Today, fans can check out all four covers, including breathtaking new pieces by Karen S. Darboe, Olivier Coipel, and the artist of her current solo series, Lucas Werneck, along with never-before-seen interior artwork.
STORM: LIFEDREAM kicks off when intergalactic historians attempt to update their records on Earth’s Mightiest Mutant—Ororo Munroe! As they dive into Storm’s rich history, they’ll find a woman too powerful to contain – and risk unleashing a side of her no one’s seen before. It’s a whirlwind journey across Storm’s key adventures and greatest feats as a malevolent entity threatens to corrupt her legacy!
