With Orchis using media, law enforcement, and Iron Man technology to hunt down mutants, Emma Frost adopts a new look and name. But whether she goes by Emma Frost or Hazel Kendal, she now works for Wilson Fisk, who rules the Hellfire Club as the White King. When she learns that Kitty Pryde is hunting Firestar, she asks Tony if he minds Shadowkat killing her.
Branded a traitor, Firestar's been hiding out on an Orchis space station. That's no obstacle for Shadowcat. The unstoppable mutant ninja is determined to take down anyone involved in the mutant massacre on Krakoa.
Meanwhile, Kamala Khan continues her summer studies at Empire State University. Her fellow students--and the teachers at the Orchis-sponsored program--don't realize she's Ms. Marvel. She watches as the intolerance and hatred they've aroused explode into violence.
The art isn't always as clear and distinct as possible, and backgrounds sometimes suffer. Colors look oddly checkered or pixelated, and purple-shaded characters look flat. The words are small-to-tiny, and I'll be amazed if anyone can read all that Firestar tells Kitty Pryde. It's easy to identify with Ms. Marvel's struggle, but Kitty Pryde steals the show in X-Men #26.
After their constant arguing in The Invincible Iron Man #9, it's odd to see Tony Stark and Emma Frost heading toward the altar. But like it or not, the wedding bells begin to ring in X-Men #26.
