Mutantkind’s Biggest Night is Upended by Secrets, Sabotage, and Death in X-Men: Hellfire Murder!
The X-Men’s Hellfire Gala, mutantkind’s biggest—and sometimes deadliest—celebration, is back for another drama-filled night of mystery, betrayal and Omega level fashion in X-Men: Hellfire Murder #1, hitting stands in July.
As is tradition, X-Men: Hellfire Murder #1 will be written and drawn by a spectacular lineup of current X-Men creators including Jed MacKay, Gail Simone, Eve L. Ewing, Saladin Ahmed, Erica Schultz, Tony Daniel, Luciano Vecchio, Federica Mancin and more! Once more, the giant-sized one-shot serves as a capstone to the last year of X-Men storytelling with reunions and romance abound, and simultaneously sets the stage for what’s on the horizon with startling developments like the formation of an all-new Hellfire Club and the murder of a key mutant figure.
HOMICIDE AT THE HELLFIRE GALA!
When an iconic mutant power player is murdered at an exclusive masquerade hosted by Sebastian Shaw, it falls to Wolverine and Jubilee to solve a locked-room mystery that has dire consequences for all mutantkind. Everyone is a suspect. And the party isn’t over yet…
The secrets won’t be the only thing stunning readers. As always, your favorite mutants will be decked out in unforgettable attire! Leading the design efforts will be Marvel’s Stormbreaker artist Luciano Vecchio, following his acclaimed work on last year’s Hellfire Gala issue, X-Men: Hellfire Vigil. A certified expert in mutant fashion, Vecchio outdid himself this year with dramatic and unique masquerade looks. Can you guess who’s behind each mask?
Check out Vecchio’s cover along with a variant cover by R.B. Silva and RSVP for X-Men: Hellfire Murder #1 at your local comic shop today!
When the Claws Break, the Animal is the Most Dangerous
From a showdown with the primal god of Adamantium to being tricked into thinking his mother had returned, Wolverine has been put through the ringer in Saladin Ahmed’s current run of Wolverine! And soon, Logan will reach his breaking point—literally—when his claws are shattered in a way never seen before!
The startling upcoming story will trigger a defeat that will go down in Wolverine history, with the brutal new status quo being explored in June’s Wolverine #21-22, featuring art by Julius Ohta. Fans can look forward to a slew of special variant covers spotlighting the change, including a Foil Variant Cover by Leinil Francis Yu.
Check out Dan Panosian’s main covers along with Yu’s foil variant cover and a variant cover by regular series artist Martín Cóccolo and preorder both issues at your local comic shop today!

Alien: King Killer #1
(W) Saladin Ahmed (A) Carlos Nieto (CA) David Yardin
When humanity has already lost the war against the Xenomorphs, what remains? Set on a planet overrun by the savage alien species, the dregs of humanity cling to the protection of the mysterious siblings known as the Three Kings. But these warlords have a fourth sibling who is out for revenge — and the humans’ remaining protectors are harboring secrets deadlier than the aliens outside their gates. The first chapter in one of the most epic — and darkest — eras of the ALIEN universe!
The Future Reclaims Bishop in a New Solo Series!
Bishop, the energy-absorbing powerhouse X-Man, hails from one of mutantkind’s darkest futures. This June, that future comes back to bite in Bishop, an all-new five-issue limited series by writer Saladin Ahmed and art by Mario Santoro.
In the series, Bishop finds himself in a fight against fate when the Final Brotherhood, a new group of villains originating from his future, journey to the past to end his time in the present once and for all. In order to stop them and prevent further disruption of the timeline, Bishop will team up with his sister Shard, a fan-favorite character who starred in ‘90s X-Factor as well as previous Bishop solo series, whose tragic fate haunts Bishop to this day. Similar to recently launched solo X-titles like Rogue and Cyclops, BISHOP promises to deliver a thrilling, standalone saga that encapsulates the heart and history of the character—all while putting them through the ringer on their most challenging and legacy-defining missions yet!
THE TIME-LOST X-MAN IS BACK!
Bishop has always lived by a strict code. But that code will get called into question when his sister, Shard, is sent to the present right before she died! Will Bishop adhere to his principles and protect the timestream? Or will he risk it all to save the most important person in his life?
Check out Davide Paratore’s main cover along with variant covers by Fabrizio De Tommaso and Skottie Young, and pick up Bishop #1 at your local comic shop this June!
