I love Storm’s cape in the second panel. And that third panel!! The angle of Cyclops’s head is pulled off perfectly. My god, man. You may become a comic book artist yet!!!
Love when you tie in stuff that you used somewhere else. Like with Marvel Lost Generation in XHY, and now XHY in Elsewhen. Really enjoying this!!!!!!!!!
I like seeing Cyclops and Storm together like this. We saw a glimpse of JB’s Storm as team leader in the aftermath of the Dark Phoenix saga. I thought that was a great development for the character and a natural progression of her role on the team. I would love to see the dynamic between Storm and Cyclops develop in an alternate timeline like this.
Seems like every time I draw Storm I find myself wondering what that cape is FOR. In her debut, in GSXM 1, she demonstrated she didn't need it to fly.

Well most characters that fly/levitate have a cape although they don't need it. The contrary is more complicated to find: characters with non-flying/levitating/planing abilities with an unneeded cape!
This pencil practice, made me go back and read some stuff that I remember liking (another artist), and found out that it didn't hold up as good as my memory.
I then realized that I always like the art of JB, Gil Kane, Steve Ditko, and Steve Rude, even if I don't like the characters or the story.
