What happens when great men commit to great works? It's complicated. That tension has been the signature of Hickman's run on the X-Men and most of his Marvel Comics work. Yet Inferno ends with the sense that the Quiet Council has trapped themselves in a burning building that will forever be engulfed in flames without ever burning down. Mutants are practically immortal now, and they've created a nation meant to outlast the apocalypse. As Inferno reaches its conclusion, it hones in on the idea that, in founding Krakoa, in building this supposed mutant sanctuary, they've also forged the bars of a prison. Both efforts are successful and achieve the desired outcome, though it's the final splash page of the issue, lingering on an ominous note, that steals the show.Īnd maybe that's the point.
The scenes with Mystique and Destiny are more intimate, structured similarly to their initial faceoff in House of X, making use of a 9-panel grid being careful to keep the conversational scene tense and fast-paced. The battle with Nimrod should have a familiar cadence to fans following this era of X-Men by now, with plenty of half-splashes to bring a sense of scale without taking up too much space.
Valerio Schiti and Stefano Casselli split art duties on the issue, but it still manages to feel cohesive with the help of colorist David Curiel.
The other sees Mystique and Destiny finally getting their hands on Moira MacTaggert and, reversing the tables, deciding what will become of Moira X.
The first sees Magneto and Professor X lured into an Orchis trap and forced to face their greatest fear, a fully online Nimrod with the Omega Sentinel at its side. Hickman splits the issue's structure into two separate narratives following two different sets of repercussions. Picking up from the previous issue, Inferno #4 sees Moira MacTaggert's secret, which Magneto and Professor X righteously guarded, laid bare to a few rightfully outraged others.
