I accept your reasoning. She did improve when Halle Berry realized just how important this character was and got off her high horse. My hatred of Movie!Storm mainly comes from my hatred of Halle Berry, who bitched about taking this lowly role as a black woman. Had she bothered to read any of the comics (she didn't have to read all 500 million out there), she would have seen just how incredible this woman is.
If you ever do want to read about the X-Men, I would highly recommend starting with Classic X-Men. It reprints Uncanny, starting where Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Banshee and Nightcrawler join and have to rescue the original team. The Phoenix saga begins shortly thereafter. Lots of 70s/80s cheese involved, but still some powerful storytelling. ANd more importantly, the Classics also include these incredible character back stories that really bring the characters to life and make you just want to hug them. Seriously. Some of the stories are just wow.
Right now? I hear the Joss Whedon books.. Astonishing? Are good. I've read a few and I love his style, but nothing can top the heart and depth of the old stories.
