Latest Reviews
Okay, after reading pixelized review I decided to read the comic because I wanted to try and something new and to my surprise not only was this comic not what I expected at all I actually liked it.
Emma's past was nothing like how I imagined, except for her being rich and if it didn't state it in the comic I never would have even guessed the girl was Emma based on her appearance.
I had two favorite parts of the comic, the first being the student-teacher relationship. I never thought Emma would be one of those girls to fall victim to her teacher and fall in love with him.
But the best part was the rivalry between Emma and Matilda and the one comment that cracked me up so much. When Matilda mocks Emma by bringing up the fact that she's flat-chested. looks at current Emma. Yeah, so much for that insult now :D
Absolutely amazing. Even though i have undying love for emma frost, i was more than hesitant about picking this up...needless to say i'm more than thrilled i did. Who knew that the Emma that we know and love, or love to hate, didnt always start out at the top of the food chain.....go get a copy now. lol
So i just tried to post my review and it said it was too short, which is rather tragic. I put all my brain power into it but i guess it wasnt good enough....anywho...go get the emma frost series, you will not be disapointed at all...i'll give you the 2 dollars back if you dont like it. lol
