X-Men: Hellfire Gala

In 2021, Marvel’s X-Men: Hellfire Gala was a single-issue event comic that reimagined the classic Hellfire Club ball as a mutant fashion and political spectacle. Written by Gerry Duggan with art by Matteo Lolli, it showcased Wolverine and the new X-Men team in a glamorous, high-stakes setting that defined the Krakoan era’s blend of style and substance. This issue launched an annual tradition, marking a pivotal moment where mutantkind’s public image and leadership were dramatically reshaped.
