Andrea Di Vito will provide the interior artwork for this five-issue story.
The mutant character of Emma Frost has been heating up the pages of Marvel Comics since her introduction in The Uncanny X-Men 45 years ago, and now she’ll be getting her own miniseries entitled Emma Frost: The White Queen this summer.
What’s happening:
- Marvel Comics has announced a new five-issue miniseries entitled Emma Frost: The White Queen, which will be written by Amy Chu (Red Sonja) and illustrated by Andrea Di Vito (Deadpool). Artist David Nakayama (Star Wars: Ahsoka) provided the cover for issue #1, which can be viewed below.
- The miniseries will be set during an earlier period of the Marvel Comics timeline, during which Emma Frost was still the White Queen of the Hellfire Club.
- Emma Frost: The White Queen #1 will be released on Wednesday, June 18th.
What they’re saying:
- Marvel Comics: “IN THE DARKEST DAYS OF THE HELLFIRE CLUB! Before she became a mainstay of the heroic X-Men, Emma Frost had another role: WHITE QUEEN of the HELLFIRE CLUB! As she grapples for power with the rest of the Inner Circle, witness Emma’s ruthless ascent to the top! And when she discovers there is a mole within the Hellfire Club leaking secrets to their sworn enemies, the X-Men, Emma will stop at nothing to uncover the truth! Take a deep dive into Emma’s past, learn shocking secrets and be prepared to bow down to the White Queen!"
- Writer Amy Chu: “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. 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!"
- Artist Andrea Di Vito: “I can't think of a character more deserving of her own series than Emma Frost. 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!"
