The Reign of X is heading towards the Hellfire Gala this summer. And the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club has never been more powerful. However, there may be trouble ahead in the aftermath of Krakoa’s impending celebration. And someone from the past is making an unexpected comeback.

Obviously, Emma Frost is on the right side. However, the woman on the left may only be recognized by the hardest of hardcore X-Men fans. That’s because she’s Lourdes Chantel, Sebastian Shaw’s former lover who died in her first appearance in Classic X-Men #7. That means she’s barely appeared in a comic since 1987.
Marauders writer Gerry Duggan also passed on a hint about Lourdes’ return in his upcoming issue.
“Painful secrets are revealed in the wake of this year’s triumphant Hellfire Gala. Lourdes was a flame that burned bright, and was extinguished before Cerebro came online, making her resurrection a lost cause — OR IS IT?? Also, is that little Harry Leland on their board? Holy s***!”
Marvel’s full July 2021 solicitations will be released later this week.
