X-Force #5

In "Under the Magnifying Glass," X-Force faces a twisted test of loyalty when Toad captures Karl Lykos and forces him to drain his girlfriend’s life force, triggering a monstrous transformation into Sauron and drawing him into the new Brotherhood. Meanwhile, the arrival of Siryn adds a new edge to the team’s already volatile dynamics.
