Emma Frost #2
In "Higher Learning, 2 of 6," Emma Frost wakes up in the school infirmary after collapsing from a blinding headache, only to face teasing from her classmates who suspect she faked it to skip a final. When she takes the test again, she discovers she can hear the correct answers in her mind—across the room, she hears the thoughts of other students, and with no help from them this time, she still scores perfectly, leaving everyone stunned. Written by Karl Bollers and illustrated by Randy Green, with inks by Rick Ketcham, colors by Pete Pantazis, and letters by Cory Petit, this issue’s cover by Greg Horn captures the tension of a mind pushing beyond limits.
