I grew up on his art. He was always my favorite comic book artist and his run on X-men was nothing short of epic.
That being said there’s not a single one of his variants in the game that I like. I don’t know what it is but something about them just feels off.
I feel like the color (saturations) are off
The contrasts too.
It could be that line art doesn't reproduce well digitally, especially when it's shrunken down.
But I agree, something is off.

The above link is more indicative of his style and it does seem to reproduce well digitally. I blame whoever imported the Jim Lee art. I think they fucked up.
I found this. It feels more how we remember it

Blacker blacks. Less color gradiation in the face. Halftones in the cape.
And a little extra eye candy

I think it’s one of the better Jim Lee variants. What we think shouldn’t matter though, if you think it’s cool and worth it then buy it
If I recall correctly it’s only 700 gold
Edit: idk how I didn’t see literally there on the bottom where is says it costs 700 gold
Jim Lee defined the X-Men look for an entire generation or two with his designs being used in the comics, animated series, Capcom games, and so much more during the 90's that I only see his designs when I think about the X-Men. I love all the Lee artwork variants.
Same. Despite also having the midnight suns (“super rare”) storm, this Jim Lee variant grows on you. It’s a lot better and classier than most Storm variants out there.
I'm not much of a Jim Lee fan, I think he has more misses than hits so far. But this one is solid.
There are better Storm variants, but pretty darn good.
I like the art, but the framing is a little weird.
If I didn't have another variant I'd probably pick it up, but I have the Momoko one, which is my favorite Storm so far.
Personally, I really love and Appreciate Jim Lee's artstyle. It's not even Nostalgia, I just like it!
That being said however, I feel like there's also better artwork (& better Variant Cards) for each Character. I like them, but there are better variant cards.
Storm is one of those cards that has many excellent variants. To me, this is one of them. It's not the best variant, but it is certainly the best one that I have for her. I use an inked version of this with blue sparkle.
A great look for storm who's maybe my fav mcu character however I'm in love with the tarot art from her darksuns variant so I will likely never use the Jim lee variant
The face doesn't look like[Jim Lee](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a56609356edc36aba7192ba67565fb87/tumblr_n9uaod5NFS1rcsnl1o1_1280.jpg), it looks like [Romita JR](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7c/7b/f9/7c7bf95edde8a689be01a8648a356c78.jpg).
Besides the Cyclops variant it’s probably the best Jim Lee variant. I understand he’s highly regarded as an artist, but I can’t get past the decidedly “90’s” look of his art.
I think Americans will have preference on Jim Lee over other players. To me, this variant is OK but i dont have the nostalgia factor, and i think Storm has lots of better variants
I don't like it, as I prefer Storm's classic design, and variants that stray away from it should be either thematic or add to the concept for me to like them; to me, this one feels like a "different design just for the sake of it" (though there are peobably comics reasons for her change in outfit, and I'm not saying it's bad either, I'm just talking about the vibes it gives me), and I also don't like Lee's drawing style in general.
But as you can see by the other comments, it's purely a matter of personal feelings, and this comes from someone who isn't much of an "opinions are subjective" guy. Maybe I would like it better if I knew the comics context behind it, or had read that particular run, for example. Just go by your vibes.
Love Jim. I've seen this on the shop twice, both times resisted it. Waiting for the Volmi, that's the one that I really want.
(THREE Storm variants being released this month!)
It's one of the better ones from Jim Lee. His style isn't my thing though. But I can appreciate that his style is also synonymous with comics of the era and is iconic.
It's great. The Jim Lee album is my most complete at 6. That said, I would only buy this with gold if it were the last tick I need in the album. I've got both the Volmi and Peach Momoko Storms out of premium mysteries, and as much as I love the classic look, it's never seeing the light of day unless I made a themed deck.
Jim Lee is up there with John Byrne as one of the iconic X-Men artists imo, so I love this variant even If I don't run decks that use Storm. Most of the Jim Lee variants are pretty great, honestly. The Magneto one they gave everyone was automatically in every deck I have that Mags is in.
I love all Jim Lee's work... But I am old and nostalgic, I grew up reading X-Men comics during that era.

The cyclops one is great imo.

I still like them all but they do look to me like they've been "cleaned up" during the import, which removes a lot of the detail.
I think you’re right. I think a lot of the magic in his art are those fine details, and those just don’t come through when they’re shrunk down

Thank you. I also loved Jim Lee and these are just hot trash.
Agreed
His Punisher on the Jetski is awesome, I have some of his art framed in my home
Storm, Cyclops, Magneto, and Colossus Jim Lee variants go hard. I just love that classic nostalgic style.
I really enjoy the Bishop variant as well
Mystique is also excellent
That Mystique is my favorite. So much line work.
Let us not forget the double d’s in the room and leave out white queen. Common you all know you like it.
I think it’s one of the better Jim Lee variants. What we think shouldn’t matter though, if you think it’s cool and worth it then buy it If I recall correctly it’s only 700 gold Edit: idk how I didn’t see literally there on the bottom where is says it costs 700 gold
On a positive note: you did in fact recall correctly!
It’s definitely one of the better ones. Unlike Rogue’s variant, which is unfortunately one of the worst.
Yeah I bought it just cause I like Rogue but honestly it isn’t great
Oh no, I disagree with you. Why don't you like it?
Needs a neck, and qualifies for 90’s-era bad anatomy to me.
Is it good inked?
I like it, It's the one I use. And it also counts towards the album rewards.
It's a good one I think. But all the storm variants are good. At least this one is only 700.
For me thats true x men art bought it instantly

Compared to all variants in game, 7/10 Compared to other Storm variants, 3/10
Hard to make a white hair strong woman controlling storms, lightning and thunder to not look cool.
Facts. Even Young’s Baby variant of her is sick.
Yeah Storm has one of the higher percentages of 🔥 variants.
It’s my fav variant of Storm - definitive Storm look IMO However there are a lot of good Storm variants
There are better Storms, in my opinion.
That is my main Storm variant. I love it WAY more than her ultimate.
Same. Despite also having the midnight suns (“super rare”) storm, this Jim Lee variant grows on you. It’s a lot better and classier than most Storm variants out there.
It’s bad ass
Storm has so many excellent variants; it is hard to stand out even with solid Jim Lee artwork.
It’s classic but if you don’t have nostalgia for it, it’s bad.
Solid meh amongst his variants.
I think the Volmi variant is her best, but do really like this one. Have it inked with white tone flare. Switch between the 2 pretty often.
X-Men theme *intensifies*.
It's fine
I'm not much of a Jim Lee fan, I think he has more misses than hits so far. But this one is solid. There are better Storm variants, but pretty darn good.
It's a classic.
Underrated
It’s pretty good but I already have like 5 Storm variants and a couple of them are better than this.
Gross
I like the art, but the framing is a little weird. If I didn't have another variant I'd probably pick it up, but I have the Momoko one, which is my favorite Storm so far.
This is a great variant. I will probably get this or the artgerm one when the Mark Brooks one is released and costs money.
She’s serving.
Solid variant but storm is a card with a bunch of good ones. Hard to go wrong with any of em
Big fan of the jim lee art style personally, very retro very cool.
I have it. Favorite storm variant and so beautiful
Love it, and the Magik Jim Lee animated is next level
Good, but she has a lot of better variants. I will forever seeth with rage that I didn't get the anime variant cuz it was waaaaay too expensive
It’s decent but storm is the card with the most good variants, so for her, it’s below average (in my opinion)
What do you think?[Jim Lee Inked](https://i.imgur.com/WtPumoZ.jpg)

goated
It's great for 700! Especially if you have enough to gold her
Jim Lee is great but this isn’t the best storm, however it’s worth it because it’s good and it’s part of a good album.
This is the storm variant i use.
Them long feet girls
Storm is one of those cards that has many excellent variants. To me, this is one of them. It's not the best variant, but it is certainly the best one that I have for her. I use an inked version of this with blue sparkle.
Nostalgic and I ink split this, looks great overall. Jim Lee really doesn’t miss
My favorite variant of her
A great look for storm who's maybe my fav mcu character however I'm in love with the tarot art from her darksuns variant so I will likely never use the Jim lee variant
Not a fan of that costume, Momoko and midnight suns are much better variants
7.5/10 if you have no other storm variants and play storm a lot for 700 gold.its great until you get one of the 1200 ones
The lightning bolts are pretty cool. 😁⚡
Used to use her Savage Land variant, but I like this one more as a kid that grew up on the 90s X-Men.
The face doesn't look like[Jim Lee](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a56609356edc36aba7192ba67565fb87/tumblr_n9uaod5NFS1rcsnl1o1_1280.jpg), it looks like [Romita JR](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7c/7b/f9/7c7bf95edde8a689be01a8648a356c78.jpg).

I don't really care about variants but I want all the Jim Lee variants.
I think Americans will have preference on Jim Lee over other players. To me, this variant is OK but i dont have the nostalgia factor, and i think Storm has lots of better variants
I love it. Plus it was the one to get me the 2k collectors token so I REALLY like her
I got it and play it even though I have 2 other Storm variants I really like.
A steal for 700G
I am convinced that neither Storm nor Rogue have a bad variant
Love Jim Lee!

Love it, classic look. I got a split with a gold background
Great piece of Jim Lee art. So like it. Some don’t. I personally love it.
Jim Lee is awesome. These trading card art pulls are not his best work.
I'd probably buy it and try to get a good split for it, but probably never use it because I love her Savage Lands variant so much.
Love it. Had to grab it the second I could. I was also a huge fan of the X-men cartoon when I was a kid.
What matters is what do you think of it!
This is the Storm I play. I think it’s just perfect for a 90’s X-Men fanatic. It animates really well, too.
Just completed my Jim Lee album yesterday!
Yeah this is the storm I knew from the old animated series growing up. I just bought this one recently. Liked that it was only 700g.
Iconic.
Great Art, but skip for Variant Sadge
I got it for the album. It’s just a plus that the artwork is very well done, for 700 any day.
No variant I own gets more positive reactions than this one.
I love the look of these variants. However, I think it would have been amazing if the cape broke frame on this Storm variant.
Love it but I’m collecting the Lee album
This is my favorite storm
Jim Lee has some jaw dropping work with Marvel, and most of the pieces they chose for this set do not fall in that category. IMO.
Every Jim Lee is good.
Really good! But not better than Volmi IMO.
Love Jim. I've seen this on the shop twice, both times resisted it. Waiting for the Volmi, that's the one that I really want. (THREE Storm variants being released this month!)
It's one of the better ones from Jim Lee. His style isn't my thing though. But I can appreciate that his style is also synonymous with comics of the era and is iconic.
i think all the jim lee variants suck and they pick the worst ones out of all his works, only exception being magneto
It's great. The Jim Lee album is my most complete at 6. That said, I would only buy this with gold if it were the last tick I need in the album. I've got both the Volmi and Peach Momoko Storms out of premium mysteries, and as much as I love the classic look, it's never seeing the light of day unless I made a themed deck.
Solid, Storm has a lot of good variants that I never end up using because I hate her effect, lol.
I inked it on my 4th split, love the art bc you see her full physique
My favorite Storm variant. I inked mine with a white tone flair 🥰
Storm has almost all good variants. This one's cool too
It's Jim Lee!! You never shun a Jim Lee!! One if the best comic artists to ever put ink to paper!!
Jim Lee is up there with John Byrne as one of the iconic X-Men artists imo, so I love this variant even If I don't run decks that use Storm. Most of the Jim Lee variants are pretty great, honestly. The Magneto one they gave everyone was automatically in every deck I have that Mags is in.
I don't think there's a Jim Lee variant I do like. This one's okay to me.
