X-Men: Hellfire Gala Red Carpet Edition by Gerry Duggan, Jonathan Hickman, Al Ewing
4.0
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.
