The Hellfire Gala, mutants' latest darkest hour.
Warning: Contains SPOILERS for X-Men: Hellfire Gala 2023 #1Following the disastrous events of latest Hellfire Gala, the world of the X-Men is in utter turmoil. Having suffered yet another tragic massacre of mutants, the citizens of Krakoa face a plight that parallels many earlier stories from the franchise's history, including one of Marvel Comics’ most reviled stories of all time – Ultimatum.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Hellfire Gala 2023 #1 – written by Gerry Dugan, with art by Joshua Cassera, Kris Anka, Pepe Larraz, and more – brought about the deaths many mutants, generating a massive status quo change ahead of the Fall of X event. 2009's Ultimatum, which did the same for Marvel's Ultimate imprint, redefining that universe's mutant population moving forward, is a close antecedent.
The Hellfire Gala Doesn’t Wallow In Darkness Ultimatum's brutality is part of why many readers and critics, at the time and in the years since its release, consider it one of Marvel's worst event series. The reaction to Marvel's recent X-Men: Hellfire Gala 2023 #1 has not been without its share of complaints.
Where Ultimatum was content to simply dwell in the darkness of its story, reveling in grim despair, X-Men: Hellfire Gala 2023 #1 sets the stage for its survivors to regain their balance, and prepare to fight back. Nevertheless, it is a particularly dark step on the road to Fall of X. Particularly the immediate graphic murder of the new X-Men squad, which is the most reminiscent of Ultimatum in its seemingly insensitive shock value moment.
