Le scénariste Dennis Hopeless (Spider-Woman) et le dessinateur Javier Garron (Cyclops) s’intéresseront au domaine « Inferno » sur la carte du Battleword dès mai prochain.
Inspirée par le crossover de 1989, la mini-série sera centrée sur une Manhattan dévorée par les démons depuis le sauvetage raté de Colossus pour retrouver sa sœur Illyana. Chaque année depuis, Colossus mène une nouvelle mission de sauvetage qui se termine dans le sang. Cinq ans ont passé depuis la première mission.
Ci-dessous, les couvertures du premier numéro par Garron et Adi Granov:

VARIANT COVER BY ADI GRANOV
• Spinning out of the universe-shattering events of Secret Wars comes a new twist on the X-Men classic that’s a whole hell of a lot hotter than you remember
• 5 years ago a band of demons rose up out of the fiery depths and turned Manhattan into Hell on Earth. The X-Men fought to vanquish the demon horde and… The X-Men failed.
• Welcome back to the Inferno.
• On this the fifth anniversary of Manhattan’s fall, Piotr Rasputin is leading a small band of mutants back into the Inferno. Colossus doesn’t know what they’ll find on the other side of those flames but he knows for certain… They’re not coming back without his sister.

[quote]Redesigning characters is always a gift, but a complex one! It is a blessing, an honor to be given the chance to add something, no matter how small, to the legend of these iconic characters. And because of that it is also a responsibility, you feel the pressure to push yourself further and meet the expectations. The X-Men are some of the most beloved comic characters of all time! They have strong, holy foundations set by the greatest names who ever worked in the comic book field. So, yeah, quite a challenge! But, no sweat at all, it was amazingly fun!
Dennis Hopeless, one of the best writers in the business these days, defined what the story needed from each character so well that it made the work so much easier. And getting to the point (I digress a lot!), it’s difficult to pick your favorite son! My heart is split. Definitely I think the BAMF Dragon, a.k.a. Hellbeast Nightcrawler, is a strandout. It’s menacing, slender, weird yet familiar somehow. I think there’s a story by itself looking at it. It feels like Nightcrawler with those colors and the bamfs, but at the same time you see the demonic, beast touches, the danger signs in it.[/quote]
