Pride Of Place

Wedding bells ring for Mystique and Destiny in this year's Marvel Voices: Pride

- STEPHEN JEWELL

PROMISING “SOMETHING NEW, also borrowed and especially blue”, Kieron Gillen is bringing his stint on the Merry Mutants to a close with X-Men: The Wedding Special. Centring on the marriage of Mystique and Destiny, the special coda issue takes the lead in this year’s Marvel Voices: Pride, which also features contributions from Tini Howard, Wyatt Kennedy, Tate Brombal and Yoon Ha Lee.

“Given how bleak most of my run was, perhaps it’s the after-credits-have-fun-withthe-cast sequence,” Gillen tells Red Alert. “It’s also the interstitial between the Krakoan age and the next as it grows from everything I have done with Raven and Irene, but it also sets up where they’re going next. Marriage is about endlessness, but so is the Marvel Universe.”
