This year’s Hellfire Gala is right around the corner, and Marvel just unveiled a new trailer for the catalytic Hellfire Gala 2023 #1. This issue, from Gerry Dugan and an all-star lineup of artists, is set to kick off the much-hyped Fall of X event. As mutants, politicians, and heroes alike gather on Krakoa for the inaugural Gala, a vision kicks off a series of events that will rock the nation. As chaos erupts, the aftermath will leave longtime readers devastated. And this is only the beginning.
A Peek At The Chaos
A short 60-second trailer for Hellfire Gala 2023 #1 gives only a taste of the chaos. However, the Fall of X is bringing the pain to the X-Men and fellow mutants. It all kicks off with some never-before-seen artwork. It details some fan-favorite characters enjoying the party. X-Men staples like Jean Grey, Kate Pryde, Iceman, Emma Frost, and Rogue are dressed to the nines and having a grand time. The trailer then cuts to Destiny, and things spiral from there.
Destiny is wracked with a vision of impending doom. Before she can completely drop her champagne, that vision materializes in the form of some unwelcome party crashers. Nimrod arrives on the scene, backed by a fleet of Stark Sentinels. What happens next is classic comic book fighting, but this is just the tip of the iceberg for the X-Men and Krakoa.
Classic Hellfire Gala
It seems like the Hellfire Gala is becoming synonymous with a big event. With the first party, the world was shocked to discover that mutants had terraformed Mars. Then, the following year, the world learned about Krakoa’s resurrection protocols. With the Hellfire Gala 2023 taking place in a few weeks, what kind of upheaval can the world expect from the mutants?
This year’s Gala comes from writer Gerry Dugan and several all-star artists. They include Kris Anka, Joshua Cassara, Russle Dauterman, Adam Kubert, Pepe Larraz, R.B. Silva, and Luciano Vecchio. During this year’s Marvel Unlimited’s X-Men: 60 Uncanny Years Live Virtual Event, editor Jordan D. White shared a little on what to expect from this team:
“They’ve got their plans for this year, but this year also is the issue that kicks off Fall of X. So, I’ll tell you, things don’t go as planned. You will have to buy the book to see how bad that is. But let me tell you, this is a book you’ll want to buy. It is going to be a killer lineup.”
