“We’ve been working towards the Hellfire Vigil for a year now, and all of the assorted X-creators came together to make this a moment of significance for the X-Men and their world as a whole,” Executive Editor Tom Brevoort explained.
“If you’ve been wondering when somebody was going to encounter somebody else, the answer is right here in this book! It’s a capstone to events that began in From The Ashes and sets up major movements that will be playing out across the coming months. Plus it’s full-packed with great art and great character moments.”
The annual gathering will strike a different note this time around, with mutantkind gathering to reflect on the loss of the mutant nation Krakoa. As they look back on the past, they’ll reignite hope for the future, and readers can look forward to a night of joyous celebration, delicious drama, and, of course, super hero high fashion! Like previous Hellfire Galas, the glamourous party will be filled with reunions, returns, and revelations, all setting the stage for the next year of X-Men storytelling! Always one of the most talked about comics of the year, the Hellfire Gala is now a beloved staple of the X-Men mythos, even inspiring the new season of the hit video game Marvel Rivals, and fans won’t want to miss this bold new installment!
One year ago, at the final Hellfire Gala, the dream of a unified mutant nation was forever shattered by a cowardly sneak attack by anti-mutant forces. To mark the moment and to proclaim loudly and strongly to all concerned that mutantkind still stands, the time has come for X-Men of all stripes to come together in solidarity and celebration. Featuring the meetings and moments that fans have been asking for since FROM THE ASHES began, be there for a keystone moment marking the movement of one era into the next and setting up story threads that will play out across the X-line in the near future!
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

Looking forward to see Betsy there.
Sending much love and respect to the sovereign nation of Krakoa! I love them holding up symbols of light! And I’m here for Ororo’s Rhythm Nation look! 🖤

Also, as much as I hate the Fall of Krakoa, it pretty much aligns with happens in real life oppressors take issue with marginalized people who they actively ostracize device to leave and the. thrive by creating their own autonomous settlements. Re: Seneca Village (which the X- Men Treehouse paid tribute) and Tulsa, OK.
The Gala is so corny lol
Also, love ‘Ro’s hair. One of the best things to come out of the Krokoa Era is Marvel adopting Russell Dautermann’s redesign and canonically making the character’s hair Afro-textured versus how she was originally designed to cater to Eurocentric standards. This tightly curled hair texture is so beautiful and becoming on her and is so reminiscent of a cloud in alignment with her being Storm.
