Mutantkind is set to send shockwaves through the Marvel Universe yet again in this year's Hellfire Gala. At last year's, mutants changed the face of the solar system, terraforming Mars and claiming it for mutantkind. This year will continue the tradition with more game-changing developments, the exciting reveal of the new X-Men lineup, and direct lead-ins to A.X.E.: Judgement Day.
The future of mutantkind as we know it begins here, and it's written by current X-Men writer Gerry Duggan and features artwork by Kris Anka, Russell Dauterman, Matteo Lolli, and C.F. Villa. X-Men: Hellfire Gala #1 will also boast stunning covers by superstar artists Stanley "Artgerm" Lau, Adam Hughes, Arthur Adams, Carlos Gómez, and Nick Dragotta.
In Kieron Gillen’s Immortal X-Men #4, Emma Frost will stop at nothing to make sure the Hellfire Gala is a night no one in the Marvel Universe will soon forget. Then, in Gerry Duggan and Pepe Larraz' X-Men #12, the current X-Men team go out in style, and secrets are revealed that guarantee the Hellfire Gala will be overflowing with drama.
Oh, and if you’re looking for the afterparty, swing over to Zeb Wells and Amazing Spider-Man #9 this August. Something happens at the Gala that sends Spider-Man and Wolverine on a dangerous mission all over creation. That’s right, the best duo in comics is back, but who are they fighting, and what (or who) are they fighting for? We'll find out in X-en: Hellfire Gala #1!
