The whole world was about to crack open because of her anger, and I thought Storm was best suited to go help this little girl… Storm also dealt with a lot of trauma when she was growing up.” “This one is about a girl in Africa who’s struggling with her anger issues after her family is murdered,” Bodhi says. To kick off the initial writing process, Bodhi says she got in her car and took a long drive. Weather-related powers aside, Bodhi thinks Storm represents “the mother of everybody.” “I feel like she’s the strongest mutant,” she says. “She’s like Mother Nature in my eyes,” Bodhi explains. Bodhi based the narrative on her own life experiences, but through the lens of how she sees the character she’s long adored. She was particularly excited to work on a story for Storm, collaborating with Marvel co-writer Danny Lore, artist Alitha Martinez, and colorist Rachelle Rosenberg.

When we put the idea of a Black Panther collaboration out to Bodhi, Kaash and Bobby, their response was resoundingly enthusiastic, and the whole thing felt natural,” he says. General manager and executive vice president Rich Isaacson tells Rolling Stone that its partnership consultant Jonathan Rheingold - who had previously run the custom solutions group at Marvel - first brought the concept to his contacts at Marvel. While Def Jam is always looking for innovative ways to amplify its artists voices, according to the label, it has been particularly hungry for new storytelling platforms amid the pandemic. Other acts who have historically jumped into the comic medium include KISS, The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, and Wu-Tang Clan, but Def Jam appears to be the first label to link multiple musicians up with a major comic book company.
