Marvel Comics announced the June release of Emma Frost: The White Queen, a five-issue mini-series set during the days of Frost’s time with the Hellfire Club.
Emma Frost: The White Queen #1 is written by Amy Chu with art by Andrea Di Vito.
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!
“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 in a press release from Marvel Comics. “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!”
Emma Frost: The White Queen #1 is set to arrive on June 18, 2025.
