I suspect that this is suffering badly under the four page rule because there has to be more to this.
Why adopt the Black King title when the White Queen is just as apt?
Now she's got the Hellfire Club, what is she going to do with it? What will it's aims be.
I assume confusing things like the Lord Cardinal (Formerly Bobby DaCosta) a position which was randomly introduced as the overlord of the Hellfire Club, higher than any of the Inner Circle, has now been removed because that made no sense.
On the plus side, that presumably means the obnoxious-kid run Hellfire Club is no more.
So this week, Emma is... *rolls dice* evil and manipulative!
Really feels like someone high up at Marvel is trying to push for "Emma as a villain again", while the majority of the writers keep going "Noooope" and undoing or ignoring it as much as they can. (Going by her depiction in X-Men: Blue, and Infinity Wars, at least.) On the one hand, that's pretty satisfying, because arbitrarily demanding a character be made a villain after over two decades of being good(ish) for contrived in-story reasons is terrible. On the other, it's a freaking rollercoaster to put up with.
Now why, exactly, would they not -immediately- take EF down? They are tougher and more resourceful, and their telepaths are as strong or stronger.
I appreciate that drama cannot happen unless someone is unlucky or foolish, but this is equivalent to villains on Arrow throwing a wrench to distract the main character and then being allowed to get away instead of being chased: because the plot -requires- them to get away. The X-Men don't go after Emma because the plot -requires- that she get away with her ploy.
so... does this make her a villain again? I am SO tired of her "I am grieving over a man" thing with her = villain... she can mourn cyclops without spilling into full out villain territory...
it would be interesting if she made the Hellfire club a legit good (or at least neutral) organization. Rather than manipulate for her own personal gain, she could work to the benefit of everyone.
Cyclops had a piece of the Void in his head when he died, locked down by techniques he learned from Jean, or possibly the Phoenix. At the moment of death, the chains probably came off, and he was mind-linked to Emma. And that was the precise moment Emma became a villain again.
Headcanon: The Void-shard leaped into Emmas mind at the moment of Scotts death, and the intimate link allowed it to bypass all her defenses. But it is only a piece, not the full Void and Emma is a powerful telepath. She fights back. So she is swerving wildly in terms of good and bad depending on who has a hand on the wheel in her head at the time.

Also, new Inner Circle, or new Hellions perhaps?

Uh, maybe you could have linked to one of the previewss that had the first page and given us a Littlemore context for the ending?

It's just lazy/bad writing.
