This week on X-Reads, we’re rolling out the diamond carpet for the amazing Martha Marion, the voice of Emma Frost in X-Men ’97 and Fortnite. Together we break down the drama (and we mean drama) in New X-Men #139. In this issue, psychic warfare becomes personal, intense, and extremely deadly. Jean Gray isn’t just angry, she’s Phoenix-level furious, confronting Emma Frost for seducing her husband, Scott Summers.
We discuss Jean’s fierce anger, Emma’s steamy complexity, and the mystery of the mansion’s murders. You won’t want to miss Martha’s take on the White Queen herself, as well as writer Grant Morrison and artist Phil Jimenez’s wild reactions to this haunting issue.
