WHO INVITED THE HELLIONS TO THE HELLFIRE GALA?
Who thought it was a good idea to invite the antisocial HELLIONS to the fanciest bash of the year? Oh, no one? They weren't invited but they showed up anyway? Yeah, that sounds about right.

COMICON - Scott Redmond
Jun 03, 2021Hellions consistently at the top of the pack when it comes to the X-Line of books because it's a gorgeous engaging fun character development-filled series focused on broken and flawed people who have found their own little family niche and are just trying to make it. There is so much heart and pain surrounded by delightful humorous moments that make this entire issue a delight from start to finish. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Braidon Schaufert
Jun 02, 2021This Hellfire Gala tie-in issue of Hellions leans toward comedy and consistently nails the punchline. Wells and Segovia get the balance just right as each character gets a moment to shine or get dirty. Readers might expect fashion, but they will be dazzled by the depth of the character interactions at Marvel's biggest party. Read Full Review

Jun 02, 2021Readers, even surrounded by a stuffy shindig, Wells finds a way to make the HELLIONS the center of attention. Furthermore, I can't think of another X-MEN title where the characters are growing as much as this eclectic cast of personalities. Readers, Zeb Wells is creating a family out of a bunch of rejects and outcasts. And if he can do that with this crew, I can't wait to see what's next on his agenda! Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Ryan.L
Jun 02, 2021Overall the Hellfire Gala continues to shine. This was a fantastic issue and we got to see the Hellions really let their hair down. Even though they don't always seem to like each other, it was great to see them come together and support each other. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Ja-Quan Greene
Jun 04, 2021Hellions #12 really was a fun side of mutants to dive into and enjoy for its theatrics and melodramatic moments. The Hellions are usually off on some Bast forsaken mission, so it's nice to see them interact with everyone for a change, albeit on their worst behavior. Stephen Segovia is putting in work on these panels! He takes Wells' violent yet tender script and makes magic out of the misfits of Krakoa. I've enjoyed a few issues of Hellions thus far, but there has been nothing like this bad boy right here! Guess that's what the Hellfire Gala will bring out of you. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Jun 09, 2021Hellions #12 is a fun comic. The Hellfire Gala isn't a traditional multi-part story, so there's a certain amount of wheel-spinning that has to go on, and this issue does it entertainingly. Wells and Segovia do a fine job with this one, fitting in character development, a lot of great moments, and an ending that bodes well for the future. Read Full Review

Jun 02, 2021Segovia's pencils shine once again and while the issue is a bit directionless, Wells's writing is witty as always.Hellions#12 doesn't change the course of the title, but it is a fun time. Read Full Review

A great character-focused issue! I love the team dynamics here and seeing the Hellions drunkenly wreak havoc at the Gala provides a nice change from the intensity of the last story arc.

This was fantastic. I feel like it's a big problem within the comics fandom where readers are so focused on the plot furthering the overall narrative that when you get a comic that is all character, they act like it's completely worthless. Stop being so lame and pointless yourselves, and maybe you'll learn to enjoy super fun issues like this.

My favorite issue of Hellions and the Gala and this entire X-MEN line of comics. Fun, absurd, with awesome character moments.

Some absolutely hilarious moments sprinkled with some wholesome & chaotic team bonding. Also YES to more Psycrow.

Definitely a tie-in/filler issue for the "Hellfire Gala" event, but of the three X books released this week, this was the most entertaining and had the best art (thanks Segovia and Team). While not the most substantive of issues, it was a fun read with some character development and light-hearted moments.

I liked this issue in the scope of the Gala because these guys are the worst even as they strike some sympathy sometimes. Segovia nailed those faces and dynamics! Again Zeb Wells does no wrong in my book or this book.

Still the funniest X-title out there. It's a party and a bit of humor never hurt anyone.

I don't know why but for some reason the Hellions just feel so lovable here, self-conscious to a fault and their dynamics always around to pick each other up.

8.0
The Hellions make a marvelous mess when they crash the Hellfire Gala. Structurally, it goes a little heavy on "party chat" scenes. In contrast to this week's disappointing Marauders, though, this issue has some heft thanks to illuminating peeks at the teams' relationships. It's also terrifically funny and quite well-drawn; a thoroughly satisfying read.

This one was not as good as those before, but still pretty fun.

Too many jokes. Too little substance or anything that actually matters.

Funny, but something is missing, context, continuity. Good art, it makes you have a good time but it feels a bit stagnant.
