We reveal all the beautiful variant covers including many by artist, Russell Dauterman.
A treat for all you Marvel art fans: this June marks the X-Men and Avengers attendance of Marvel’s second annual Hellfire Gala. An event that is basically Marvel’s fashion show, which coincidentally last year, almost saw the world end for the X-Men.
This time around is a bit tamer but never-the-less stylish, serving as mostly an event foreshadowed by the current X-Men Elections, while also, adding new bodies into the fray of the Green Carpet showcase. Everyone is stunningly gorgeous, as numerous Marvel characters are joining in this time to show off their wear.

The magnificent Russell Dauterman leads this fashionable campaign along with artists Carmen Carnero, Iban Coello, Chris Bachalo, Jen Bartel, Mateus Manhanini, Mahmud Asrar, Miguel Mercado, Meghan Hetrick, InHyuk Lee, and Eric D’Urso. Each of whom, adds a little something special to each piece.
“I’m thrilled to be back designing costumes for the mutants!” Dauterman said in Marvel’s Press Release, “And this year we’re expanding to include more of the Marvel Universe — I jumped at the chance to design one of my favorite characters, the Scarlet Witch! I’m lucky to be in such stellar company, surrounded by the other artists working on this project. I’ve been excited every time new art shows up in my inbox, and can’t wait for everyone to see!”
