Marvel Comics has revealed the connecting covers for X-Men #26 and Invincible Iron Man #10, offering a first look at the long-awaited wedding of...Emma Frost and Tony Stark?!
We may be reading too much into this sneak peek, but the likes of Cyclops and Captain Marvel don't look thrilled by the nuptials.
What we do know is that these issues are set to be released in September, with both written by Gerry Duggan with art by Stefano Caselli, Juan Frigeri, and stunning covers by Lucas Werneck.
First, in X-Men #26, the moment we swore would never happen - heck, the moment Emma Frost swore would never happen - is here at last! As the Frost/Stark knot is tied, Emma's mutant family reacts to this surprise news.
Then, we're cordially invited to the wedding of Anthony Edward Stark and Emma Grace Frost in the pages of Invincible Iron Man #10. We'll join the lucky couple as they exchange vows. Attire is Hellfire formal. Orchis raid to follow. Marvel Comics is also promising some exclusive wedding extras.
"Neither seems like the marrying type," Duggan says. "Why this works, and how this works, and how much fun this is whether their marriage works or not will need to be seen to be believed and you'll have to buy it to find out!"
"They certainly don't seem like they're ready to be married to anyone, let alone to each other, but life can change quickly."
This is an intriguing direction to take both characters in, that's for sure, and we're definitely intrigued to find out what this means for The Avengers and X-Men. For now, you can check out that gorgeous cover art below.
