Amy Chu and Andrea Di Vito return Emma Frost to her roots in the new five-issue mini-series simply called Emma Frost: The White Queen.
The retro-flashback series spotlights Emma at the height of her devious ways, as she schemes for the top spot in the Hellfire Club’s Inner Circle. Along with her pursuit for power and influence, Frost also discovers that someone may be leaking Hellfire Club secrets to the Uncanny X-Men.
“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. “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!”
“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!”
