Will Emma actually appear in X-Force 7, X-Factor 35, SI 6, King-Size Cable and Return of Magic? Well, it would be nice if she did of course, but it does not seem so likely.
Btw, you can stop including Secret Invasion now that they killed off the White Queen skrull. :)
@NB - In what issue? That’s hilarious.
@aimeeish -
Do you mean in what issue the WQ skrull was killed? That was in Secret Invasion 5.
