- Before the Devil Knows We're Dead Chapter Two · 20 pages
X-Force learns that the recent anti-mutant terrorism is the work of an extreme splinter-group of the Purifiers. Their leader, Jonathan Standish, sees the panic and chaos of the Asgardian Serpent God of Fear as a sign that super-humans have brought about the End of Times. The only way to save humans is through mass-suicide forcing X-Force to determine where Standish's enhanced Purifiers will strike next.
Publisher’s description
With the events of FEAR ITSELF causing worldwide panic, Jonathan Standish and his cell of rogue Purifiers look to take their murderous mission to the next level. Believing superheroes have brought about the end of the world, just how many innocents can these Purifiers kill? How many 'souls' can they save from the devil? And where will they strike next? If ever there was a group worthy of X-Force's lethal talents, this is it. But is there a grain of truth hidden in Standish's askew thinking?
