Whew! That’s it, and it looks like January will be a very big month. It seems as if Marvel will be pushing Emma to become a major player within the Marvel Universe. There is speculation that she’ll be joining this mysterious group called the “Dark Avengers,” and there’s also a cover of Emma holding an apple, which usually doesn’t mean something symbolically “good.”
Now what is going on with the Incredible Hercules cover? Emma Frost and the “White Phoenix”? I honestly hope Marvel keeps Emma far away from that Phoenix Force.
