Back in March, Marvel released artist Russell Dauterman’s characters’ costume designs for this June’s next big X-Men event, the Hellfire Gala! Inspired, in part, by the Met Gala, the Hellfire Gala will act as an event for mutants and humans to commune and get to know one another better after Charles Xavier and Magneto set a new status quo for mutantkind way back in House of X. However, like the Met Gala, the Hellfire Gala will allow mutants to stretch their imagination and peacock a bit with extravagant finery and garb that’s fabulously extra.
To get a peek at what other mutants will be decked out in for the Hellfire Gala, Marvel just released variant covers with designs by comic artists such as Valerio Schiti, Joshua Cassara, Marcus To, and Lucas Werneck!
The Hellfire Gala begins this June in the X-books.
