Marvel Comics has unveiled never-before-seen artwork for X-Men: TheWedding Special #1. Marvel’s mutants take center stage in the Marvel’s Voices: Pride anthology, which arrives on May 29, celebrating Pride Month with stories by notable LGBTQIA+ creators.
Kieron Gillen, who wrote some of Mystique and Destiny’s recent adventures in Immortal X-Men, will pen X-Men: TheWedding Special’s main story, with art by the acclaimed Rachael Stott (Star Wars: DoctorAphra, Fantastic Four). Per Marvel, in addition to new insights into Raven Darkholme and Irene Adler’s hundred-year romance, fans will witness their original and never-before-told wedding and discover the pair’s secret motivations for hosting the event. Similar to the iconic Hellfire Gala and classic Marvel wedding issues like Fantastic Four Annual #3 and X-Men #30, the publisher promises the upcoming issue “will be a wedding extravaganza with multiple stories centered around a night that will go down in mutant history.”
