Ultron Crashes the Party in Marvel Rivals' Hellfire Gala Showdown
Alright, Marvel fans—buckle up because things are getting wild in the world of Marvel Rivals . If you haven’t checked out Marvel Rivals Infinity Comic (2024) #7 yet, now’s the time, because Ultron is officially in the building… and by building, I mean the X-Men’s most exclusive, glamorous, and downright chaotic annual event: the Hellfire Gala.
Yup, Ultron chose the worst possible time to bring his drone army to Krakoa, and it is absolutely glorious . Picture this—Emma Frost in full queen mode, leading the defense of her homeland alongside an epic team-up of heroes and mutants. We’re talking Storm, Captain America (a future version, no less), Magik, Namor, Black Panther—basically a dream team straight out of the multiverse.

Writer Paul Allor really brings the heat in this issue. There’s action, drama, and yes, fashion, because it is the Hellfire Gala after all. But there’s more to it than just a pretty backdrop. Krakoa is under threat, not just physically but existentially. This isn’t just another Ultron attack—this one means something. It’s personal. It’s dangerous. And it’s full of the kind of excruciating choices that make stories like this hit hard.
One of the best parts? While the main squad is fending off killer robots, we get a little comic relief from The Thing, Rocket Raccoon, Squirrel Girl, and everyone’s favorite little chaos gremlin, Jeff the Land Shark. Yes, Jeff is back, and apparently, he’s living his best beach life—sunbathing, swimming, and hoarding fish like a furry little dragon. Oh, and there’s one scene with him that’s apparently unforgettable. According to Allor, you’ll know it when you see it.
Visually, this comic is just stunning. Luca Claretti, Daniel Scalisi, and Ig Guara absolutely crushed the artwork, and the colors from Dee Cuniffe tie everything together in a vibrant, electric package. The drone swarm visuals? Intense. The character expressions? Chef’s kiss. The costume designs? Absolutely dazzling.
Emma Frost also gets a spotlight moment as the newest playable character in the Marvel Rivals game, and Allor admits her icy attitude even rubbed off on him during writing—which, let’s be honest, is totally on brand for the White Queen.
What’s cool too is how Marvel Rivals Infinity Comic draws from the video game itself. The team used the game’s energy and character dynamics as a jumping-off point but took the storytelling to deeper, more personal levels. This isn’t just game fan service—it’s character-driven, emotionally packed storytelling with real stakes.
Whether you’re here for the battle, the banter, or just to see Jeff be adorable, this chapter is a must-read. You can check it out now on Marvel Unlimited. And if you subscribe by April 16, there’s even an exclusive Thing skin waiting for you. Come for the drama, stay for the drip.
Seriously, if you’re into Marvel, this is the kind of story you don’t want to miss.
