Why on Earth Marvel think collecting more things in this hardcover volume compared to the paperback collection is a good idea， I have no idea， but that's not the point here。Collected here are all of the X-Men issues that tie in to the larger Hellfire Gala story， which was touted for about six months in the preceding comics。 To say it's a game-changer would be underselling it， because there's at least two huge plot points that go on at the Gala that springboard a load of other storylines forward， Why on Earth Marvel think collecting more things in this hardcover volume compared to the paperback collection is a good idea， I have no idea， but that's not the point here。Collected here are all of the X-Men issues that tie in to the larger Hellfire Gala story， which was touted for about six months in the preceding comics。 To say it's a game-changer would be underselling it， because there's at least two huge plot points that go on at the Gala that springboard a load of other storylines forward， noteably in the Planet-Size X-Men issue。Some of the other issues won't land quite as well on their own - X-Factor is actually the final issue of the run， for instance， and X-Corp is literally the second issue of a 5 issue series。 They're great in context， but I don't think they'll do as well here。But for every strange issue， you get stuff like Wolverine and X-Force， which tell two halves of the same story， or Hellions which is just hilarious。 SWORD's also pretty important to the big plot， as well as the X-Men issue of course。What I really enjoyed was how unique this 'crossover' - it's basically one big party， and it doesn't pretend to be anything more than that for the most part。 The fashions are on parade， as are the celebrity cameos （surprisingly）， and there's very little actual fighting outside of a few conflicts in the shadows。Something different， and mostly successful。 If you're reading all of the series involved then you'll get a bit more mileage out of the individual issues， but the overall spectacle can't be denied。 。。。more

Situated near the beginning of what Marvel is calling "Reign of X"， we have （finally！！） the Hellfire Gala。 Lots of changes happen here， all during amazing outfits revealed for our characters （courtesy of Jumbo Carnation; seriously， look these up if you aren't going to read this。。。 seeing all their formal attire is truly visionary）。 NOTE: I didn't read the "X-Corp" or "Way of X" chapters because I hadn't had any previous experience with these titles and want to read them in the context of their o Situated near the beginning of what Marvel is calling "Reign of X"， we have （finally！！） the Hellfire Gala。 Lots of changes happen here， all during amazing outfits revealed for our characters （courtesy of Jumbo Carnation; seriously， look these up if you aren't going to read this。。。 seeing all their formal attire is truly visionary）。 NOTE: I didn't read the "X-Corp" or "Way of X" chapters because I hadn't had any previous experience with these titles and want to read them in the context of their own graphic novels， which will be soon。Highlights:- Many many of Marvel's finest are in attendance， including celebrities （Cyclops even talks to Kevin Feige！） and dignitaries from both allies and not-yet allies of Krakoa。- The ambassadors from Terra Verde are a problematic part of the story。 Beast and Sage worked together to overcome the telefloronic infestation and are actually using them to help convince other nations to join via a form of mind control。 When Emma discovers what is going on， the action is shutdown， a deal for silence made， and the alliance with Terra Verde dissolved。 （What was Beast thinking？ UGH He has really frustrated me lately！）- Deadpool swims to the shores of Krakoa， and tries to join the party， considering himself an honorary X-Man since he was on the original X-Force。 He is stopped and ejected by Logan and Domino。 （Very funny scene！）- Jean telepathically holds elections for the new official X-Men team。 They are Jean， Cyclops， Rogue， Sunfire， Wolverine （Laura）， Synch， and Polaris。- The Hellions， most of who are reforming villains under Sinister， crash the party when they aren't invited。 The three exceptions to the rule are Sinister， Havok， and Psylocke （who was so gorgeous， my jaw actually dropped。。。 and so did a few of the characters）- In the event "X of Swords"， the world lost Captain Britain （Betsy） for a while， and the British government， under Ambassador Reuben Brousseau， announces that Great Britain is dissolving their treaty with Krakoa。 This causes a few issues: 1） Brousseau， who is a member of Coven Akkaba， trap and sacrifice Pete Wisdom， resulting in the resurrection of Morgan Le Fay， which will definitely be explored in the pages of Excalibur。 2） Rictor， who has been studying magic intensely， calls upon the help of the Druids of Britain to create a new island around the Braddock Lighthouse to free it from British control， keeping it an ally of Krakoa。- The largest thing that happens is that many Omega-level mutants work together to terraform Mars and move the island of Arakko there， renaming Mars as Planet Arakko， the first mutant planet。 S。W。O。R。D。 leader Abigail Brand meets with galactic representatives from many of the known empires in space （Shi'Ar， Spartax， Kree/Skrull， etc） to acknowledge Planet Arakko as the capital planet of the Sol System， with Storm as the Queen Regent （freaking awesome！）， in exchange for a supply of mysterium， an easily created metal that is as hard as Adamantium。- Finally， the entire Gala ends when the body of Scarlet Witch is found murdered and in the bushes。 Chief suspect is Magneto， and this will be explored in "The Trial of Magneto"。When will we start to see the cracks in this 'Reign'？ Or is the mutant race truly going to be in a good place and free to grow again？ Not sure。。。 but I am definitely along for the ride。 Can't wait to read about the new X-Men team！Strong recommend。 。。。more

Read as single issues。The things I can do on vacation: binge 400+ pages of comics in a day。 :）This was a good crossover。 It felt much more low-key and low stakes than， say， Inferno or X-Tinction Agenda， and I am happy with that。 I enjoyed getting to see events and conversations from multiple perspectives as we crisscrossed the events of the night。 I particularly enjoyed the Planet-Sized X- Men and the X-Force and Wolverine issues， as they showed the scope and spectacle （Planet-Sized） and the beh Read as single issues。The things I can do on vacation: binge 400+ pages of comics in a day。 :）This was a good crossover。 It felt much more low-key and low stakes than， say， Inferno or X-Tinction Agenda， and I am happy with that。 I enjoyed getting to see events and conversations from multiple perspectives as we crisscrossed the events of the night。 I particularly enjoyed the Planet-Sized X- Men and the X-Force and Wolverine issues， as they showed the scope and spectacle （Planet-Sized） and the behind-the-scenes security and snafus （X-Force/Wolverine） that most guests didn't see。This sets up yet another step in Hickman's grand design for the X-Men。 I'm intrigued but also wonder why we had this step so "soon" （I say as I look at the pile of comics written JUST since X of Swords） as I feel like Krakoa is still finding its footing as a nation， and this is going to change things with them， Arrako， and the rest of the Marvel universe。 。。。more

X-men meets the Met Gala？ Fun character moments and huge status quo changes？ Count me in！ I loved this event and it’s a great jumping on point to see what this new publishing initiative for the X-men is all about！

If this is what we're to expect after Hickman's departure， then X-Men are truly fucked。It's so frustrating to have been given some of the best buildup and world building in franchise history only to see Marvel abandon Hickman's work the second he steps away。 He really was too good for them。 If this is what we're to expect after Hickman's departure， then X-Men are truly fucked。It's so frustrating to have been given some of the best buildup and world building in franchise history only to see Marvel abandon Hickman's work the second he steps away。 He really was too good for them。 。。。more

The costumes， the parties， the drinking， the festivities！The Hellfire Gala was a unique event that felt often times like a celebration and fan service， getting to see our faves attend a party unlike any other。Can't say it was satisfying though from a narrative sense as more future promises are made and nothing gets resolved。As an evening out， it's amazing。 As an X-arc， its much like everything else in Hickman's run for this title: filled with spectacle， fashion， and promise。。。 and never really g The costumes， the parties， the drinking， the festivities！The Hellfire Gala was a unique event that felt often times like a celebration and fan service， getting to see our faves attend a party unlike any other。Can't say it was satisfying though from a narrative sense as more future promises are made and nothing gets resolved。As an evening out， it's amazing。 As an X-arc， its much like everything else in Hickman's run for this title: filled with spectacle， fashion， and promise。。。 and never really going on beyond that。 。。。more

Read individual issues as they came out each week。 Individual rates may vary， but as a whole the event was fun。 I loved the fashion gala marketing and I think Planet-Size in particular delivered on the hype。

Este gran evento que me gustó más que otros anteriores de Hickman trata de la Gran Fiesta del Hellfire， ofrecido por Emma Frost a los mutantes pero sobre todo a los humanos e incluso extraterrestres。 El objetivo es claro: mostrar la supremacía mutante y de fondo， se guarda en este evento， un suceso que se presenta durante los juegos artificiales。 Es una noticia bastante shockante creo sobre todo para la humanidad。 Es algo interesante， sin embargo， siento que los mutantes están saltando demasiado Este gran evento que me gustó más que otros anteriores de Hickman trata de la Gran Fiesta del Hellfire， ofrecido por Emma Frost a los mutantes pero sobre todo a los humanos e incluso extraterrestres。 El objetivo es claro: mostrar la supremacía mutante y de fondo， se guarda en este evento， un suceso que se presenta durante los juegos artificiales。 Es una noticia bastante shockante creo sobre todo para la humanidad。 Es algo interesante， sin embargo， siento que los mutantes están saltando demasiado alto y rápido sin un gran sustento o por lo menos cimentado en el tiempo。Esto desde luego traerá opiniones encontradas。 Tiene que ver con esta posición nueva de los Arakko， raza mutante ancestral， que luego de los eventos de Sword of X tienen su lugar。 Esto igual no me termina de convencer y me gustaría saber cuál será su lugar a futuro。 Por otra parte， el evento ha sido una excelente ocasión para que los dibujantes y autores pongan ropas novedosas en los mutantes， pues todos fueron muy "bien" vestidos。 Desde luego hay diseños que me gustan y otros que para nada。 En realidad el enfoque ha sido muy diverso。 。。。more
