Will sparks fly…again?

In the final page of Extraordinary X-Men #1, Storm and her team tracked down a presence that shouldn’t be there. They find Wolverine…just not the one they know and love.

From the cover it appears Old Man Logan will join up with Storm’s team as they try to save mutants from the threat of the Terrigen Cloud.

Will this Logan and Storm have the same sparks as before?

A year before Wolverine died, Logan and Ororo gave in their long burning attraction and became lovers. Now Storm is mourning the loss of her lover, teammate and friend while stepping up as X-Men leader. How will this Logan affect her?

Did this Logan from an alternate future have the same romantic relationship with Ororo? This version of Logan was tricked into killing his fellow X-Men. How will seeing them again affect him?

Will the old spark flare up between Storm and Old Man Logan?

Storm fell for this older man since Logan was technically hundreds of years older than Ororo when they connected romantically but looked younger. Will Old Man Logan and Storm spark again even against the backdrop of a new threat against mutants?

Old Man Logan and young Jean Grey will meet in Extraordinary X-Men #3.

Extraordinary X-Men #2 arrives Wednesday and Old Man Logan #1 is coming later this year – both are by Jeff Lemire.
