Pixie like her; and some students at least don't dislike her. But I know they are hardly counted as her friends so perhaps Emma really has no friends now lol.

But Emma will play a role in Age of Ultron teaming up with Beast, so we'll probably see their interaction down the road.

Review: All-New X-Men #3

... as does Emma Frost using the word "fellas" without irony...
...
...However, when Emma Frost shows up, I didn't recognize her for a second, because her face and flailing body language make her look like she's a sixteen-year old girl yelling at her dad, rather than the mature woman that she is.

ugh

I was about to say that I'd love to see Emma girltalk with Magik due to having no other options, but then I read the rest of your post......

Ugh indeed, also doesn't leave me too optimistic for AoU.

newsarama review: ALL-NEW X-MEN #3

There are some problems, though. Emma Frost's introduction in this issue is less than stellar, primarily because she's the one character that Bendis just can't seem to pin down. Here, she comes off less like an aristocratic anglophile, and more like one of the real housewives of Westchester, with bitter, uncouth dialogue, and more swagger than poise...
...
...While this issue isn't a complete success - Emma Frost really doesn't work under Bendis's pen right now - there's so much to love about the way All-New X-Men has blended the ongoing mutant soap opera with an implausibly entertaining premise that, if Bendis can continue to stick the landing, he may have a definitive X-Men run on his hands.

WTH? And that's what he said that he will answer all of our Emma questions in ANX #3?

Marvel Avengers Alliance PVP note:

Emma is my hero. She was the only character I had left in my latest tournament battle and all of my opponent's team was still alive. Then Emma's turn came up with cosmic power and she Mental Trauma'd all three of them to death simultaneously.

If I smoked I'd want a cigarette now.

Sounds like Emma has some choice words for Scott after he rescues her. Should be amusing at least.

I'm just worried that Bendis' dialogue is going to be so off that it will ruin what should be an amazing conversation.

Actually, I don't care if she gets with another man as long as she isn't his ever supporting girlfriend who can turn into diamond. Lobdell, Morrison, and Milligan wrote her fine with Banshee, Iceman and Cyclops. She was FABULOUS!!!!

Whoaa! No, I didn't mean as a committed couple. I meant, I want to know how they resolve or view their relationship now. It should be addressed. I mean, since AvX we've got nothing but Kitty making snide remarks to Emma in prison. Where's Emma (and Namor's) introspection and consequences from AvX?

Also, having Emma on the Illuminati would be awesome.

They're always smoking hot and usually kind of hilarious. I also feel like Hickman at least is going to include and/or expore Emma/Namor in NA.

THIS. I like seeing them together, even if they aren't a couple couple, like Scott and Emma.

Oh, I wouldn't say randomly. Namor's never going to let an opportunity to admire Susan, just as he never did for Emma -- it's in his nature to admire women openly. Hickman wrote a nice little scene where Sue came to pick up Namor for a diplomatic meeting, and she and Emma were quite ... cool to each other. And then there was that other scene of much debate, where there was some confusion about who he was admiring, Sue or Emma ... or both of them ... right before the big space battle. It could be, as you said, a lot of fun.

This has been my biggest complaint about them in the X-books. We never ONCE got Emma's thought on how she felt about Namor -- well, other than lust. Every encounter they had ended up being about Scot.

Pretty much this. Beneath all the flirting and sex, I'm pretty sure Namor cares for Emma as a friend. But I've not really seen any evidence if Emma feels the same way.

I'm still holding out for Namor, or even better, Emma rescuing herself.

Rogue loved Emma.
