John Cassaday
(On the bicker between Kitty and Emma in AXM #2) “I kept pushing Joss to have the girls duke it out in a mud hole out back, but he doesn’t like the way I draw mud…”

“I love the juxtaposition between the voice speaking to Emma and the romantic shot of Kitty and Peter on the lawn. I intentionally tried to tie that shot into the last shot from #4 to sort of tie things together…”

Greg Horn
Without a doubt, Emma was one of my favorite characters to draw all-time because I remembered her from the old x-men comic books I used to love as a kid!

Quotes by Editors

CBR: Emma Frost is probably the most successful new addition to the X-Men’s line up in the last decade (in my opinion). Why do you think fans accepted Emma into the line up when so many characters entered the X-Men’s ranks and quickly left over the years?
Nick Lowe: There are several factors to it: 1) Awesome writers loved her. When you have Grant Morrison and Joss Whedon really pushing you as a character, chances are you’re going to stick. 2) She’s such a power-house character from X-Men past. She was hugely important as a villain and as a hero in the past. 3) She’s a strong woman and there’s a history of those in X-Men. 4) She’s a perfect foil for Scott. She’s a grey to his black and white. She pushes him and challenges him. 5) You never know 100% if you can trust her, and that’s just so interesting.

Quotes by Writers

Grant Morrison
“…So, the whole Scott, Emma, Jean thing’s coming to a head soon. There’ll be this big psychic catfight of the highest order. There’s a big bang at the end of it. In more ways than one! [Chuckles] I’m about to write it now.”

(On his favorite X-characters) “Cyclops and Emma Frost. Cyclops because he’s the coolest X-Man of all. He’s so repressed and so brilliant. He just always does the right thing. He lets you down even though he’s so fucked up. And that’s his genius.

And Emma’s just great to write. She’s my favorite to write. But I use her to voice some of my own [female characteristics]. There’s such a great dynamic between them. Chris Claremont was great at that. He has such great takes on these aspects of the characters no one else has thought of. There’s a lot going on with Emma, Scott, and Jean. Emma puts out but Jean’s actually more hardcore than Emma, and Scott’s torn between these two women. It’s a weird, interesting setup. And both women are telepathic. That spells bad news for Scott Summers…”

Joss Whedon
“I knew I was going to be starting slow and I had to put something in there with some power to it. It also reminded people very visually of what Emma was talking about – that everyone can hate them. It also shows the Danger Room can do all sort of hit them in the gut.”

“…And Emma’s still Emma without being gravity confusing. There’s not as much double-stick tape.”

(On the bigger between Emma and Kitty in AXM #2) “This is one of the first things I wrote. It was actually meant for issue #1, but there was a miscommunication. [Marvel Edior-in-Chief] Joe Quesada told me I had 32 pages and then said, “I mean with ads.” And I was like, “Well, I’m not writing ads, so what the hell am I supposed to do?” I sent him an e-mail with more cursing than I’ve ever written. “Alien 3″ - which i didn’t write - had less cursing. “Scarface” had less cursing. I was on page 30 when he said I only had 22 pages. I was so angry. I went ballistic.”

“…but I also got to play off Scott and Emma and the tenuousness of their relationship.”

“Emma and the voice? With whom is she speaking? What has she got planned? And what the hell? Is she good? What’s going on there? Let me tell you, I’m really excited about where I’m going with Emma, and I think it’ll fit very nicely with everything that’s gone before and upset a few things but in a way to make fans say, “He doesn’t give a shit.” I’m very fascinated with her arc and I think I can bring something to it that will change people’s perception without them thinking I wasn’t paying attention. It’s going to be exciting and it’s not going to be pretty. But she will be pretty.”

Mike Carey
I like Emma because it’s always fun to write a really bitchy character.

Craig Kyle
Our kids were built by Emma and Cyclops, not Xavier. I think they’d have a tough time listening to words of peace and control when they’ve had to fight so hard just to survive. I hope they don’t listen to him [Professor X]; I think they’re better off without him.
