“The Prime of Miss Emma Frost”

In "The Prime of Miss Emma Frost," Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely deliver a sharp, character-driven moment in the New X-Men saga as Professor Xavier reclaims control of the school—only to announce his resignation. Disillusioned by Emma Frost’s leadership, the Cuckoos make their exit, leaving behind a quiet but telling revelation for Jean: Emma has been pursuing Scott during her absence. The issue’s emotional weight is matched by Quitely’s striking visuals, with the cover by Quitely himself capturing the tension in a single, haunting image.
