This Week in X at The Hellfire Gala, 2 June 2021 | Crushing Comics Podcast, Episode 0065

It's This Week in X for 2 June, 2021 - and time for The Hellfire Gala! Join Peter, Fariha, & Tyler as we discuss Marauders (2019) #21, X-Force (2020) #20, and Hellions (2020 #12. In Marauders #21, we discuss every morsel of this opening platter of Hellfire Gala hors d'oeuvres, including welcome committees, psychic consent, Banshee's multiple invites, potential bonus Cuckoos, and fireworks that are only implied. For X-Force #20, we discuss the team's role in keeping undesirables OUT of Krakoa, inserting themselves in places THEY aren't desired, and encountering internal resistance to Beast's interventionist ambitions. Finally, in Hellions #12, it turns out the Hellfire Gala is NOT for all mutants. We discuss Sinister's oblivious mingling, Nanny's unlimited imbibing, Havok's ineffective inquiries, Empath's kindest moment, and that shocking final panel. Spoiler warning - we discuss everything about X-Men up to and including comics from this week, as well as other current events in the Marvel Universe.
