Fastidious and precise, even after she reformed she was never nice. Yet before she became the killer queen of the X-Men, Emma Frost was White Queen of the Hellfire Club. A new miniseries from Marvel Comics will examine how she secured her position within that villainous organization.
Emma Frost: White Queen will run for five issues. It will be written by Amy Chu, best known for her work on Red Sonja and Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death. The artwork will be provided by Deadpool and Invincible Iron Man artist Andrea Di Vito.
The series is set at the height of Emma’s career as a supervillain. Cold as her surname, this White Queen rules the Hellfire Club’s Inner Circle with an iron fist in a silk glove. However, when her position is threatened by a spy, it will take all her cunning to come out on top.
Emma Frost: White Queen to explore all her facets
“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. “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 arrives in comic shops everywhere on June 18, 2025.
