How Free Comic Book Day X-Men Joins Up With Hellfire Gala & Iron Man

On this year's Free Comic Book Day, we saw a figure enter the Treehouse Krakoan Embassy of New York on the eve of the third Hellfire Gala.

In this year's Free Comic Book Day's X-Men and Avengers stories, we saw a mysterious figure enter the Treehouse Krakoan Embassy of New York on the eve of the third Hellfire Gala. Someone with a religious fervour, it seems.

At this point, it may be worth noting that his identity is not actually revealed in the Hellfire Gala 2023, published today by Marvel Comics.

But his actions on behalf of Orchis set off a chain of events that do run through the Gala.

And see Cyclops defeated and the Captain Krakoa costume stolen.

So as Cyclops is flung to his supposed death…

The Krakoan Treehouse, as predicted in Timeless #1 2022…

…burns to the ground.

Even as the US government considers siding with Orchis…

…so they are the victim of a false flag operation.

And Tony Stark, in today's Invincible Iron Man gets the word.

And in Hellfire Gala #1, the Avengers leave the party en masse.

And Iron Man plots his own path.

Captain America (back in Free Comic Book Day) set off to join them…

But is himself diverted along the way.

And Rogue gets the word.

And so does Iron Man.

On Krakoa, this is a signal for Destiny and Mystique to leave.

Rogue rescues Captain America from Orchis soldiers…

And Iron Man eventually catches up.

As the Stark Sentinels go to work…

Of course, for Orchis, this is just the beginning… follow along with Bleeding Cool's spoiler coverage of the Hellfire Gala 2023 #1 today with this tag…
