‘Emma Frost: White Queen’ Says Ice To Meet You In New Miniseries

Emma Frost is spinning out on her own in the new Marvel miniseries, Emma Frost: White Queen.

In the five issue mini written by Amy Chu with art by Andrea Di Vito, the former villain turned hero takes the spotlight… Except this goes back her days as a supervillain, when she was part of the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club. The book will show just how dangerous the telepath can be as she works her way to the top of the most devious mutant collective in comics.

“If there’s one character I’ve always wanted to write after Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death, it’s Emma Frost, especially BAD Emma Frost,” Chu said via press release. “This is going to be a whole new Emma-focused story set in the classic days before she joins the X-Men. We’re going around the world to expose the inner workings of the Hellfire Club in a way you’ve never seen before and introducing some new baddies. I can’t believe Marvel is letting me do this, it’s so exciting!”

Added Di Vito, “I can’t think of a character more deserving of her own series than Emma Frost,” Di Vito added. “Her complexity alone is fuel for infinite stories, and this is about the White Queen in her raw form, set during the time where she took her first steps towards true power. It’s a privilege to illustrate these events, it doesn’t get any more Emma than this!”

Emma Frost: White Queen #1 hits stores on June 18. You can check out David Nakayama’s cover for the issue, and the synopsis, below.
