Judging by how similar she was drawn in Marauders to the cuckoos, I assume Hellfire girl is actually another Emma clone somehow. It shouldn't have been a red issue though.

This is pretty much my list as well. Honestly, from Cable upwards, pretty much everything is great.
Hellions has been way, way more fun than it has any right to be.
I imagine we're going to be seeing that issue in a whole new light by the end of the event.
EDIT: Also, Beast is the worst.
Yeah, X-Force and Wolverine are a bit too edgy for me, and the bottom 4 are just kind of "eh" but I love everything else. Fallen Angels is in the trash where it belongs
I'd prefer dark beast also why is Marauders a red issue, and who was that girl the 5 took over. Everyone has been on point so far tho and Hellions is beyond amazing
Wilhemina? She's one of the Hellfire Club kids from Jason Aaron's Wolverine and the X-Men run.
He spent a lot of time with Dark Beast, he learned from the best.
She and the rest of them have been appearing in Marauders recently as they've essentially taken over Madripoor.
Not revealed yet but I think a big retcon is brewing. She was drawn very similar to the rest of the cuckoos.

Area Man Constantly Mentioning He Doesn't Own A Television
CHAPEL HILL, NC–Area resident Jonathan Green does not own a television, a fact he repeatedly points out to friends, family, and coworkers–as well as to his mailman, neighborhood convenience-store clerks, and the man who cleans the hallways in his apartment building.

At this rate? When they revealed the Cuckoo's were clones, they showed a lab where there at least hundreds of them.
Emma had more clones from the jump.
Hellfire Gala began a bit more slow than what I expected.
Hellions never fails to make me laugh.

The interactions in Hellions and Marauders was pretty fun but I saw no reason for Marauders to be a red issue
It's because of what the "fireworks are" you'll notice that Cap and others were either freaked out or angry at what they saw.
Were we supposed to take something from the last few pages of that issue or was it just a throw back to the first gala (or might it have something to do with Phoenix since that's when that whole saga started...god i hope not)
It's a reprint of a side story from Classic X-Men 7. It was Lourdes first appearance (the woman Shaw mentioned last time) and rhe first appearance of the Hellfire Gala.
Ah ok, I thought that might be when the red part of the issue would drop but nada
It was nice Nostalgia for me. I haven't read that story in about 10 years when I was writing my background for an online Superhero MUX for Shaw.
Before that I hadn't read it since I bought the issue in like 1990 or so.
meanwhile, 3 months ago...
X-Men #18
- Finally Laura, Synch and Darwin's adventures in the vault!
- Remind me again why the AI in the Vault looks and acts so much as the AI in Maker's Future city from back in Ultimates? Is that just a coincidence or is there something there?
- Day 1 goes tits up quite fast and things get messy fast as the trio face off against the children of the vault.
- Really liked the issue is told from Synch's POV, dude is criminally underrated.
- Nothing much else happens in the issue strangely, I guess they don't escape until next issue, oh well.
Wolverine #10
- yay for Kubert being back.
- Logan and Maverick get the fuck outta that weird auction and it all looks fantastic because Kubert is the goat.
- With his memories restored, Maverick decides to mock Logan and Krakoa by calling it all a big ol cult (hey we said the same to be fair)
- Bit of a nothing issue tbh, this little Maverick arc seemed completely pointless. Pretty tho.
New Mutants #16
- This stuff with the Shadow King and the kids continues to be quite creepy.
- Magik continues to be a badass.
- Mad King Jamie is always fun.
- Dani and Karma's adventures in Otherworld is something I did not know I needed.
- the stuff with Rhane and her son is actually pretty sad :(
- this was surprisingly my favorite book of the three huh.

Which is always so ironic to me since it was HE who told Cyclops he was going to far creating X-Force to proactively hunt down the enemies of mutant kind.
Even quit the X-Men over it.
So I'm not super current with everything at the moment, had no interest in X of Swords and just waited for the books on Marvel Unlimited, but I plan to check out the Hellfire Gala stuff this month. Any reason why Jean Grey specifically greets an A.I.M. agent? Can't think of many instances of Jean interacting with A.I.M., so I figure something recent I missed, because it can't be a call back to something this far back and obscure right?
Wow, straight up wouldn't make the connection there because of the whole different time scale that The World has.
Ah, thanks for that...just checked out the Storm issue of the Giant Sized X-Men series. I wouldn't have made a connection because Jean(and Emma) are at the very start of the issue, is gone by the time he, Storm, Fantomex, Monet etc head into The World. They don't interact directly or even see each other

He's in the Storm issue and the Fantomex issue.
Ned (A.I.M.) (Earth-616)/Appearances
marvel.fandom.com
Oh for those not in the know. In the reprint of the first Hellfire Gala story with Lourdes, Tessa is Sage.
She was basically Shaw's assistant and back them was just a computer mind. She would develop more in the 90s X-Man comic and would become the character we all know as Sage Claremont's Xtreme X-Men comic.

Why would he be?
None of the Hellions except Sinister, Havok and Psylocke were invited either and Empath, Scalp hunter, Nanny and Orphan Maker are ACTUAL mutants

Ned (A.I.M.) (Earth-616)/Appearances
Yeah I rechecked that issue as well...I just thought Jean's greeting to Ned had a more relevant call back, but they never actually interacted. It would have made more sense if it was Storm greeting him. Ah well...
They always nail these little A.I.M mook characters, Ned is gonna get front seats to the fireworks while Franklin Richards is getting shade throw by Xavier.
He's Rogue, Logan and Domino's buddy at the very least.
"Buddy" in quotes.
Logan hates him. Period.
He's Rogue's ex and she's married now.
Domino was kidnapped by Deadpool's late girlfriend and was replaced for who knows how long?
Not a lot of reason to have him there.
Also even if he could have been invited, Emma would say "NO!" so hard it would stop drug, alcohol and smoking for three months around the world.
I wonder if the "fireworks" are them revealing their resurrection process. In universe people don't know about it yet and That seems like it could generate the reactions we see (diplomats freaked out, dr strange stunned, cap upset).
Basically the mutants telling the world don't even bother killing us, well just come back.
