Warning! Spoilers from the X-Men's Hellfire Gala by Marvel Comics below
In a brand new cover showcasing Spider-Man's recent costume worn at the X-Men's Hellfire Gala costume, the fan-favorite hero gets the magazine treatment. On his Twitter account, artist David Nakayama shared his new Hellfire Magazine-styled cover, which features Spider-Man's costume from the event. The ensemble is quite different from anything the web-slinger has previously worn.
The 2022 X-Men Hellfire Gala event has come to a close, as the celebration of mutants featured many Marvel Comic heroes, villains, and real-life celebrities coming to Krakoa to partake in the activities. As part of the high-fashion affair, several heroes and villains sported brand new costumes as part of the event. Captain America debuted a suave custom suit with his shield, Doctor Doom wore an extravagant puffy overcoat, and Spider-Man ended up going in a completely different direction from his usual look with a glowing new outfit.
On his Twitter account, artist David Nakayama shared his upcoming cover for A.X.E.: Judgment Day #4 from Unknown Comics, which features the web-slinger in his Russell Dauterman and Matt Wilson-designed costume seen at the X-Men's Hellfire Gala. The magazine-style cover features headlines including "Along came a... spider," "spinning a fine tale," and "friendly neighborhood... X-Man?" while the issue welcomes the "web-head" to Krakoa. Spider-Man strikes a pose in his new costume, as his look features a giant neon red spider that extends from his back to his arms and legs. Spider-Man's eyes glow as his mask seems closer to Spider-Man 2099 than the original web-slingers most iconic costume.
The Vogue-like covers starring the newest looks worn at the Hellfire Gala from Nakayama continue to be eye-catching variants. The talented artist has already tackled a handful of Hellfire magazine covers, including mock-ups for Captain America, Scarlet Witch, and Emma Frost. Each variant really makes the high-fashion costumes and looks pop, as it feels appropriate to see them spotlighted in the X-Men's high-fashion magazine. In this case, Spider-Man works well as a featured model.
While readers won't likely see the Spider-Man costume again now that the X-Men's 2022 Hellfire Gala has come and gone, the magazine-style cover from David Nakayama is a great way to highlight the look. The high-fashion costume for Spider-Man is one of his boldest ensembles, so having it immortalized on the variant cover will remind fans about the surprising change in the hero's appearance. The Unknown Comics exclusive variant for A.X.E.: Judgment Day starring Spider-Man is available for pre-order now and will be released in September.
