Article Summary

Storm transitions from the X-Men to the Avengers due to internal politics and power-sharing structures.
The Avengers operate with a flatter, more democratic team structure compared to the X-Men's authoritarian model.
Quentin Quire of the X-Men tackles new challenges while Storm seeks support from other gods within the Avengers.
Upcoming issues: Avengers #18 and X-Men #4, both by writer Jed MacKay, feature critical developments in their storylines.

So Storm is leaving the X-Men for the Avengers, and it turns out it's all about internal politics and power sharing. The Avengers just has a flatter structure than the top down X-Men. Human Resources managers, take note… from this week's Avengers #18. Also… this is way too early for a staff meeting. Come on, there's a work/life balance to maintain, right?

"We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turn to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more…" that's how it goes, right? The X-Men are more of your knights of the round table affair…

Apparently they are lucky to have him. Over in X-Men #4, Quentin Quire has, apparently, other concerns…

But mutants are one thing. What Storm needs is the endorsement of a fellow god… who is also on his way out.

Well, the Avengers couldn't have two gods of the weather, could it not? All that thunder and lightning, you know they'd have crossed the streams at some point, right? X-Men #4 and Avengers #18 are both published by Marvel Comics on Wednesday. And both written by Jed Mackay… which is handy.
