Latest Reviews
I have become hooked on this series, I have to say that to my surprise this is quickly becoming a favorite comic book series of mine as I do quite enjoy the Frost family behind the scenes, especially Emma.
I quite enjoy knowing what life as a young woman was for Emma and what her manifestation was like. The fact that she lied to everyone, even those she loved just proves to me how much humanity is expected to hate those that are different because of past reputation.
At the same time, I enjoyed Emma's taking her revenge on Matilda as I was behind Emma the entire time, ready to back her up.
Another interesting relationship was that of Emma and Ian, a relationship that seems good now but makes you wonder what's to come...
