Karen Attiah meditates on the significance of Storm, who now headlines her own series, as a representation of black women and particularly as an African expat: "Storm's penchant for riding the wind, and the many identities she has had in the past, fits the description of privileged, jet-setting educated young African emigrants who proudly wear their African heritage while pursuing educations and job opportunities abroad. And much like Storm does in Issue #1, many who identify with their African roots wrestle with reconciling their desire to pursue career excellence abroad with the feeling that they should take their talents back home to their various countries of origin to ‘help’ people in their countries who have been oppressed by their governments or are at the mercy of predatory foreign capitalists."
