The Rundown: Xeno recruits a doctor to help them in their quiet war against the mutants of Krakoa.
A scientist who recently lost his wife to an overdose of a Krakoan medicine becomes the perfect recruit for Xeno in their war against mutants. Using his grief as a weapon, he immediately goes to work creating the telefloronic threats that have gotten the attention of X-Force.
Beast attempts to get informaiton on the latest threat from their guest Man-Slaughter and when the scientist decides to invade the island, X-Force goes on the attack and in the midst tries to give the scientist the truth about what really happened to his wife.
The Story: Percy does a great job of giving this story a beginning, middle and end that is both fast paced and poignant at times. The plot works really well. The characters are used well and the antagonist is compelling both in his motivations and plot.
The Art: Robert Gill delivers some great art. There are some beautiful details throughout and the action is visually appealing.
