Marvel Comics has unveiled Russell Dauterman's connecting variant for its 12-issue Hellfire Gala event in its X-Men titles.
"X-Men costumes are one of my favorite things. As a teenager that's what I would draw the most ... doodles of an X-character in all their looks. So, I'm absolutely thrilled... designing costumes for the mutants is top-of-the-list, dream job stuff," Dauterman said. "The Hellfire Gala is unique and exciting for the X-Men, and this opportunity is really special for me. I tried to have that come across in the character designs. As Emma Frost said,
'The whole world is watching us now. We must be nothing less than fabulous.'"
The Dauterman variant covers will be on Marauders #21, X-Force #20 and Hellions #12 on June 2, Excalibur #21 and X-Men #21 on June 9, Planet Size X-Men #1, New Mutants #19 and X-Corp #2 on June 16, Wolverine #13, S.W.O.R.D. #6 and Way of X #3 on June 23 and X-Factor #10 on June 30.
