Marvel Comics has announced that Emma Frost is set to take centre stage in her own new solo series this June with the launch of Emma Frost: The White Queen, a five-issue limited series from writer Amy Chu (Red Sonja) and artist Andrea Di Vito (Deadpool).
Set during the height of Emma’s supervillain notoriety when she served as the cold-hearted White Queen of the Hellfire Club, the series promises to “remind readers how dangerous the world’s most fabulous telepath once was while showcasing what truly makes her mutant royalty as she uses her powerful position to shield mutantkind’s future.”
“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,” said Chu. “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,” added Di Vito. “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!”
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!
Emma Frost: The White Queen is set for release on June 18th 2025.
