Can we just take a moment to appreciate our diamond queen, Emma Frost?

It's definitely not her finest moment.

Seriously though. Regardless of era, good, bad, hellfire club, X-Men, Emma has always been about educating the children, even with Krakoa the hook for her was guiding the next generation.

Emma has always been solid in that department and it deserves respect.

This is one of the major elements I absolutely love about the character. I love when the X-Men actually feel like educators for the younger mutants. From the little I read, Emma was a great headmistress.

Read Tom Taylor's X-Men Red. A truly incredible 12-issue series that elevates Jean to god-tier, especially in this political climate.

Is this easy to read without a lot of background knowledge? I'm preparing to start reading Hickman's House of X run because I heard it was a good jumping on point for modern X books, but maybe I should do this first.

She's good, but technically all mutants work together now. She recently put together a team, spearheaded by Kitty "Kate" Pryde. It's good stuff.

Question, I don't really follow the comics anymore, against who are they united for?

Awesome, thanks. I'm going to put it on my reading list. It's been a long time since I read any Marvel books. I'm excited to try and get back into it a little.

Is not that they are actively against anyone, they just united all mutants under one nation, that includes Apocalypse, Selene, Magnus, Sinestro, Xavier, Frost, etc working together in relative armony which naturally create enemies all around them

I fell in love with Emma when she put Stark in his place aroun Civil War, and her plus Kitty is a winning combination

Oh yeah... Don't like the idea of an upcoming wedding between them tho.

no, not really no. They have their own island now. And as far as I remember we haven't actually seen a school in it yet. The comics are much more about running a country and seeing how humans react to mutants having their own nation, than them running a school.
Oh and it's gloriously culty.

Man i'm so torn on that. January Jones is technically the perfect pick for being Emma Frost, but it went SO BAD.

She's gorgeous but was totally wrong for the part performance-wise. Turned her into a boring fembot lmao.
