On Sale 6/18« 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. « 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! »
J’aime beaucoup le classicisme et la simplicité du trait de Andrea Di Vito.
Pareil.
C’est plutôt chouette à l’œil.

Dispensable mais sympathique. Amy Chu nous plonge dans le passé, où Emma est encore Reine Blanche du Club des Damnés, qui accueille une réunion du Club à l’étranger et doit composer avec une absence de Shaw et une Tessa piquante. Elle est secondée par une assistante télépathe, rôde entre les invités, et stoppe un Mutant révolutionnaire. Elle dirige difficilement une réunion du Cercle Intérieur, mais les X-Men débarquent et sauvent le jeune Mutant. Emma comprend que « quelqu’un a vendu la mèche » dans le Cercle Intérieur…
C’est agréable pour ce que c’est. Amy Chu lance un scénario basique mais efficace, avec une Emma piquante, « méchante » mais correcte, et propose de bons dialogues. Ca n’apporte pas grand-chose, mais c’est bien mené, avec des dessins clairs, beaux et agréables d’un Andrea DiVito qui demeure l’un de mes favoris.
Une mini-série dispensable mais qui me plaît bien pour ce qu’elle assume de proposer : un bonbon nostalgique sympathique !
