This June, mutantkind will host another Hellfire Gala, and it's already shaping up to be a night that Marvel Comics fans dare not miss. Creators Gerry Duggan, Russell Dauterman, Matteo Lolli, C.F. Villa, and Kris Anka will deliver 72 pages loaded with high-stakes drama, shocking character developments, and of course, plenty of showstopping superhero fashion.
At last year’s gala, mutants changed the face of the solar system, terraforming Mars and claiming it for mutantkind. This time around, they’ll once again set out to bring radical transformation to the Marvel Universe and are inviting every superhero on the planet to witness it.
However, when an uninvited guest crashes the party, the chaos that ensues will cause cracks in the very foundation of Krakoa and lead directly into the biggest Marvel story of the year - Kieron Gillen and Valerio Schiti’s Judgement Day! Marvel Comics will also reveal the new X-Men team, while the seeds for what’s to come in the franchise over the next few years are also set to be planted.
"Last summer your host Emma Frost invited you to celebrate Krakoa with some fireworks. This year, it's about celebrating mutantdom's friendship with humanity," Duggan explained. "Once again, we have a murderer's row of talent crafting a one-shot with revelations that will chart the biggest stories in the Marvel Universe. All that, and meet a new team of X-Men."
