Among the X-Men’s beloved Kracoa era favorites were the annual Hellfire Gala. This is the storyline of all X-Books that marks the huge event of Marvel’s “Merry Mutants.” The event was so popular that actual live in person Hellfire Gala took place at San Diego Comic Con. Sadly, the Krakoa era was a past, and fans also thought it was Hellfire Gala. However, from the ashes, Marvel has announced a special X-Men: Hellfire Vigil One-Shot.
This huge-sized one-shot is available in July this year, written and drawn by current creators of X-Line, including Jed Mackay (X-Men), Gail Simone (The Mysterious X-Men), Eve L. Ewing (The Exceptional X-Men), Luciano Vecchio (The Mysterious X-Men, Storm), Javiergarn (The Javier X-Men), Sarapanten and more. This issue features a cover drawn by Luciano Vecchio, aka Mateus Manhanini, by the UT cover.
