Hellfire Gala Unlettered Preview

[salarta]

Brand has magical alien hair-growing powers ?

It's Marvel, they'll find a way.

[Diammandis]

im still so surprised we havent seen Storms look yet, I wonder is she attending the Gala this year

[Mercury]

Interesting that Havok is partying with Iceman and Synch... could that be a post-election celebration?

I've heard a rumor that Havok is joining the X-Men, which, if true, fills me with joy. The potential for complex exchanges and dynamics between him, Jean, and Scott is off the charts.

[PolarIceFire]

YES!!! Now this is what I'm talkin' about!

Already lookin' better than last year, [almost] all my babies are there.

... is that Polaris and Wanda I spot near other? *is still in denial the recton will be rectonned*

Wanda, Lorna, & their sentry Shiro [lookin' grim & grumpy as ever, at... AleX?], w/Bobby down center in front of Shulkie, and then the 2 Summers bros on the far side.
They're neXt to Jean, and I also see Ms. Irene, Rogue & Remy + Laura AND...

Synch's aura.

Speaking of, I'm with Ev...

HOLY F... he is SO DAMN HOT!

Watch it turn out to be Brand.

R U OK?

Brand has magical alien hair-growing powers ;p?

Looks like maybe she should come with a trigger warning.


I 4 one, thank God 4 DUGGAN, 4 he by far gives my X-fandom...

the most LIFE SUPPORT!!!

[Alex.]

Scott is going as himself, not Captain Krakoa. I guess the dance is part of the reveal that he's alive? Jean seems to be right there in another panel, holding his hand:

One of the things that makes Dauterman a great comic artist is his attention to characters positioning throughout a history. With that in mind, we can clearly see the classified character standing between she hulk and tony. Hopefully it's Noriko and her look from winning the vote.

[Spiderfan001]

- That's supposed to be Moira Jane next to Doug and grabbing Proteus? It doesn't really look like MJ to me. Then again, it's not really her but...I dunno.

It is Moira Jane, and I hate she and Peter aren't shown to even interact w/ each other.And the rumors I'm hearing are very concerning

Also Clea might want Mutants to bring Strange back

[Lukmendes]

- Spider-Man looks like a villain. Also like he wants to be as far from Doom as possible.

Last time they met was in ASM#35 and 36 vol 5, where Doom beat his ass (And Spidey saw a bunch of alternate futures where Doom beat his ass), trying to stay away from Doom by default is natural, after that? Even more natural .

- What's with the dark spot on Magik's face? What does that convey? is that meant to be like a veil or something? It only covering some of her face just looks kind of weird in my opinion.

It made me think it's a symbiote for a moment lol.

- Moira standing so dramatically amidst fire in her normal clothes looks so ridiculous. Does anyone take her seriously anymore?

What is there to take seriously at this point? She's just another mutant hating robot, with some inside knowledge about mutants but whatever.

- Steve looking like "Man, she reminds me of my mom.

Was it at the last Gala where he said this to Emma?

And my mom was hot."

Dude lol.

What if the person we think is 616 Kitty is actually a mind wiped Ultimate Kitty Pryde? That'd explain how she could still have an x-gene but not be recognized by Krakoa as an actual mutant, since 1610 mutants are all artificial.

That **** is still going on?

That would be so random...then again, Moira Jane...

Also while time travelling O5 were in 616, a few Ultimate mutants fell into 616 randomly, so yeah, it could happen, the question is "why".

Then again, you could make the same question about Moira in general since her return, so yeah.

It is Moira Jane, and I hate she and Peter aren't shown to even interact w/ each other.

You want Spidey and Moira Jane to interact? Lol.

Then again, it would be better if he's the one who figures out it's not MJ...

And the rumors I'm hearing are very concerning

How many of them involve her being killed in graphical ways? Lol.

Also Clea might want Mutants to bring Strange back

Would be a fair thing to ask, though hopefully she doesn't demand it from 'em, she is asking for a favor and all lol.

[Askani's Flame]

I like that Kitty forgot to get an outfit so she borrowed Rachel's Prestige mask to have something lol

[Wind Rider]

Looks good! Can't wait to get this.

[Rift]

The mutants probably can't bring Strange back, even if they wanted to. His mind wouldn't be in Cerebro. Unless they sent Cerebro back in time to record him, which was apparently a possibility.

[thjan]

Rogue looks to be alone...

Yeah, it's not looking good for Gambit. Sigh.

I so, so, so hope we are all wrong and Gambit is fine and makes the Gala.

[Frontier]

How long is Emma's hair supposed to be now?

Last time they met was in ASM#35 and 36 vol 5, where Doom beat his ass (And Spidey saw a bunch of alternate futures where Doom beat his ass), trying to stay away from Doom by default is natural, after that? Even more natural .

Yeah, Spidey and Doom have a testy history.

It made me think it's a symbiote for a moment lol.

Magik would be even more op with a Symbiote.

What is there to take seriously at this point? She's just another mutant hating robot, with some inside knowledge about mutants but whatever.

I love how Moira just feels so much more forced even compared to the initial HoxPox retcon.

"Who cared about Moira after she died?" Well, who really cares about her now, honestly?

Was it at the last Gala where he said this to Emma?

He didn't say it (because it would be a weird thing to say out loud) but I think Emma read his mind and was suitably disgusted (she shouldn't be though, Sarah Rogers was a heck of a woman).

Dude lol.

Now I'm starting to think deeply about the fact that two of his major love interests have been blondes (both Carter women).

You want Spidey and Moira Jane to interact? Lol.

Then again, it would be better if he's the one who figures out it's not MJ...

Given the current run he would probably come off as oblivious and like a stalker.

Would be a fair thing to ask, though hopefully she doesn't demand it from 'em, she is asking for a favor and all lol.

I feel like Emma might get kind of rude about it...

I like that Kitty forgot to get an outfit so she borrowed Rachel's Prestige mask to have something lol

I love how the pirate uniform is so much a costume that it's all she ever wears anymore .

[Rift]

For a minute, I thought Magik was hugging Bishop and giving him a kiss on the cheek. Maybe next time, buddy.

[anyajenkins]

Yeah, it's not looking good for Gambit. Sigh.

I so, so, so hope we are all wrong and Gambit is fine and makes the Gala.

Ugh, how much of a ridiculous troll would it be if he got a hellfire outfit (designed by dauterman, no less) and he gets killed off instead of showing up…
