Emma Frost #7

In "Mind Games, 1 of 6," Emma Frost faces her first real test of independence when she struggles to survive on her own, landing job after job only to fail. Desperate, she experiments with her telepathic abilities in a bold, risky attempt to trick people into seeing money—leading to an unexpected turn when she’s caught and forced to wash dishes. There, she bonds with Troy, a fellow dishwasher, whose easygoing nature masks a dangerous secret: two thugs are coming for ten grand he owes. With writer Karl Bollers and artist Carlo Pagulayan bringing Emma’s vulnerability and cunning to life, and Greg Horn’s cover capturing her tense, calculating presence, this issue sets a sharp, grounded tone for a story where every move could be her last.
