Description

One of the most exciting traditions of the Krakoan Age of X-Men is the blockbuster Hellfire Gala, an extraordinary gathering of heroes (and villains) from across the Marvel Universe - and this collection contains the entire saga!

It was the social highlight of the year--for three straight years! But in that time, it went from a celebration of the X-Men's greatest achievement to their ultimate downfall. It's the Hellfire Gala, and the party always ends with a bang! In the inaugural gala of the Krakoan era, the first democratically elected team of X-Men is revealed -- and the mutants have a planet-sized surprise for the rest of the world! In the second, the roster is updated, yet another shocking revelation comes to light and a party-crasher makes for a high-stakes team-up for Wolverine and Spider-Man! But on the night of the third, everything changes for Krakoa as Orchis turns the celebration into the ultimate nightmare! Plus: A daring mission for the Secret X-Men! More stories of the losing candidates! And the classic first tale of a Hellfire Club gala! Featuring sensational new designer looks for iconic X-Men -- and more of your favorite heroes -- in a stunning gallery of Hellfire Gala variant covers!
