To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

- #10· Wizards of the Coast
The number of targets you choose for Comet Storm is one more than the number of times it's kicked.

No player can respond between the time you declare how many times you'll kick the spell and the time you choose the targets.
