THE DIAMOND DIVA STRIKES BACK!
Before she was an X-Man, Emma Frost was White Queen of the Hellfire Club where she labored under the yolk of Sebastian Shaw, the Black King. Now she sets her sights on the club, determined to tear down the organization that wronged her...if she can convince the X-Men to help out. PLUS: Part 5 of X-MEN BLACK: APOCALYPSE!
Rated T+

Oct 31, 2018This is easily a must-read for any Emma fan or X-Men fans of previous iterations, it's both nostalgic and current in a way that's wonderfully balanced for a satisfying read. Read Full Review

Nov 02, 2018Definitely the strongest of the X-Men Black one-shots so far, and hopefully the beginning of a long career for an up-and-coming talent. Read Full Review

Nov 05, 2018X-Men Black may not have been a wholly successful endeavor, but these two stories means the grand scheme was definitely worthwhile. Read Full Review

Oct 31, 2018It's a short one-off, but 'Emma Frost' is a great story starring the White Queen. You do not have to be an Emma Frost fan to enjoy it. Read Full Review

Nov 03, 2018Bachalo and Williams tell a rollicking and satisfying story that, most importantly, understands the nuances and complexity of Emma Frost. Theres a lot here for Emma fans to enjoy. Whatever flaws the issue may have, and it has at least one, isnt anything inherently attributable to the issue itself, but rather to my expectations of what it should have done and where its end will lead for Emma in the future. I hope my fears on that score are unfounded, but only time will tell. Read Full Review

Sequential Planet - Marcus Orchard
Nov 01, 2018Emma Frost is a wonderful look at the character and is the strongest entry in the X-Men: Black series. Despite the shaky art, it's a fun read, with an expected but satisfying twist in the end. As the only issue in the series to really bring something new to the mythos, this is a great issue for new readers and Emma Frost fans. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
Nov 04, 2018It's a mean-spirited first feature with a mostly incomprehensible chapter of Next Big Thing crossover as a second feature, making for a a mostly unsatisfying read. Read Full Review

Give Leah Williams an ongoing Emma Frost series! The Apocalypse story was dope. So cool to see big A at full power and back at it!

Again, I was not looking forward to this because of the writer. But I really love Emma Frost as a character and I absolutely hate the Hellfire Club, so this was enjoyable for me. Plus, the callbacks to Uncanny X-Men and X-Men Blue is something I'm always a sucker for since continuity being acknowledged makes the universe feel real and lived in.

Solid. This makes me want to revisit Bachalo's older issues of X-men.

Like for the other I didn't like the apocalypse story. But this team I really enjoy the story of the character on the cover. Yeah I did like Mojo, but Emma play at another level. It was intelligent and well written. Ok there is only one thing missing where the hell is Wade's Hellfire club ? Cover - The variant not bad for once. A little related to what we learn about Emma origines 1.5/2 Writing - Emma is fun, smart & well written. It's a pleasure to see her like this. But I didn't care for Apocalypse 2/3 Arts - Il love Bachelo, I can't tell that the Apocalypse art isn't good. But I find many flaws in some panel, sometime the character, sometime the inking, and not much of background. 2/3 Feeling - If Apocalypse had no part the feeli more
