The Hellfire Gala

[Devaishwarya]

Awesome SWORD 06 issue...the Magneto and SW ending was actually really sweet. Ewing is 6 for 6.
I will desperately miss Valerio on SWORD (but at least I can look forward to his work in the issue of Inferno he illustrates)

More than a tiny bit annoyed the human/mutant unity idea is more prevalent in an issue of Guardians where Rich and Magneto beat the **** out of each other than in most issues of the actual Gala

You keep repeting this in all of the X Books, why dont you whine ass much in the Avengers/FF/Spider books, what are they doing to achive human/mutant unity? why the mutants have to do everything?

The solicits, characters, and in universe explanation for the Galas existence said that that was what the Gala was about, so it's not unreasonable to expect it actually be in the books. it just never wound up happening.

There also seems to be some inconsistencies as to whether or not everyone at the party is invited or not: Hellions implied specific mutants are invited, but other books seem to imply it's a free invitation to any mutant who wants to show up. Way of X even implies that all of Krakoa was present for the party.

I dunno what was even the big deal about the terraforming of Mars when recently in an issue of Wolverine: Black, White, & Blood showed that the planet was already habitable. Magik transported Wolverine to the planet just fine without making a big spectacle of it.

Would assume if it's known that so and so is going to be an ass they would likely be told not to show their face.

One tiny little air pocket is a lot different than terraforming an entire planet in a few hours. Something the Intergalactic Council was even impressed by because terraforming usually takes a year.

The Hellfire Gala has come to a close, I enjoyed the event but it could have been much better, I don't think next weeks X-Factor #10 will be much chop except for probably the last page reveal on who dies at the Hellfire Gala. I'm tipping Wanda with Magneto the prime suspect in a mutant who dunnit mystery which will continue in the Trial of Magneto mini series.
Marauders #21, X-Men #21, Planet-Size X-Men #1 and S.W.O.R.D. #6 we're certsinly the RED books followed by X-Force #20, Wolverine # 13 and Hellions # 12.
I feel that Excalibur #21, New Mutants #19, X-Corp #2 and Way of X #3 were all unnecessary books in regards to the Hellfire Gala.
I feel the X-Corp writers missed a huge opportunity for their characters to be more business oriented with potential clients instead of conducting interviews during the Hellfire Gala.
Now I'm just wondering does the Trial of Magneto happen just before Inferno ?.

Did Colossus do anything the whole month besides being shirtless and metal in the background constantly? I'm not saying that wasn't enough, I just find it amusing with all the pre-Gala attention he got.

I would be interested to see him and his non-X-man pink girlfriend attend.

But at least we know more Colossus is coming with Mikhail’s upcoming return.

So now with 3 confirmed murders during the party, and Beasts total fuckup, it's safe to say X-Force absolutely sucked at their security jobs for the Gala lol

[ohsnapulon5000]

I’m loving the fact that Pyro is Dazzler’s boytoy for the night in every cameo.

Gabby was on Krakoa and not the result of X-force being bad at their job (they still are), but the government and society of Krakoa being bad at dealing with their domestic ... everything.

Likewise Pete Wisdom was killed away and his murder is more an example of the X-men in general being bad at keeping eyes on friends and allies. Which is not a new problem.

[JB]

And Wisdom was killed by people he's been working with since Excalibur #4. Shady.

[gonnagiveittoya]

Lmao I forgot about Wisdom. Lotta murder happening during this party semi-event
