Magneto has assembled a new team of mutants in the absence of his original squad, but even they might not be able to save him from returning to his villainous ways in our preview of next week's X-Men Blue #27.

Writer Cullen Bunn and artist Marcus To team up to pit the X-Men against a fearsome foursome of formidable super-villains, but could a last-ditch effort lead the mutants' own leader one step closer to becoming their biggest threat to date? And if so, how will Magneto's own daughter Polaris handle her father's betrayal?
