One of the most iconic events during the Krakoan period of the X-Men is making a comeback with an unexpected twist. Although the days when mutants dwelled together peacefully on the independent island nation of Krakoa are long gone, certain instances from that time will forever be etched in memory. The Hellfire Gala stands as one such instance, characterized by high fashion, drama, and shocks – elements that have become synonymous with the X-Men. The final Hellfire Gala marked the beginning of the Fall of X and the closing of the Krakoa era, but the X-Men aim to pay tribute to their past while looking towards a new future in a special one-shot.
X-Men: Hellfire Gathering #1 showcases an exclusive one-off issue penned by Marvel’s leading X-Men writers such as Jed MacKay (X-Men), Gail Simone (Uncanny X-Men), Eve L. Ewing (Exceptional X-Men), Luciano Vecchio (Uncanny X-Men, Storm), Javier Garrón (Uncanny X-Men), Sara Pichelli (Scarlet Witch), and others. The narrative revolves around the sorrow of Mutantkind due to the demise of the mutant nation Krakoa, while simultaneously igniting optimism for what’s to come. Similar to past Hellfire Balls, this event will be brimming with reunions, resurrections, and disclosures that will pave the way for the upcoming year in X-Men storytelling.
For over a year, we’ve been striving towards the event known as Hellfire Vigil. All the creators involved in the X-franchise have collaborated to create an impactful moment for the X-Men and their entire universe. In this book, you’ll find the long-awaited meeting of certain characters – a pinnacle of events that started with From The Ashes, and will continue to shape significant developments in the coming months. It also boasts stunning artwork and poignant character interactions.
The fame and importance of the Hellfire Gala has grown so much within the X-Men universe that it influenced the plotline for Season 2 of the Marvel Rivals video game. In this upcoming season of Marvel Rivals, gamers can acquire character skins inspired by the Hellfire Gala as in-game purchases. Additionally, Emma Frost will be introduced as a playable character, and Krakoa is set to become a new game location.
