S.W.O.R.D. (subtitled No Time to Breathe for the collected edition) is a 2009 series from Marvel Comics, written by Kieron Gillen with art by Steven Sanders and Craig Yeung, and color art by Matt Wilson.Set in the shared Marvel Universe, the series is part of the Dark Reign era and centers around the titular Government Agency of Fiction, its director Abigail Brand, and her boyfriend Hank McCoy (better known as the mutant superhero Beast). S.W.O.R.D. is the Sentient World Observation and Response Department, a sister agency to S.H.I.E.L.D., and is tasked with diplomacy and defence for extraterrestrial matters. Brand herself is half-mutant and half-alien, a cynical pragmatist who's trying to keep Earth safe while dealing with the aliens in a fair manner.Unfortunately, as a result of a recent invasion by the alien Skrulls, S.H.I.E.L.D. has now been discredited and disbanded. Its replacement, H.A.M.M.E.R., is being run by Norman Osborn, a Villain with Good Publicity, and Osborn's managed to get his own representative - the xenophobic bureaucrat Henry Gyrich - appointed as Brand's co-director.Gyrich has a very different plan for S.W.O.R.D., and Brand and her allies will hate it. But that's not a problem, as Gyrich has a plan for them as well - and they're going to like that part even less...The first issue was released November 11, 2009. The series ended with #5.A Sequel Series of sorts, also called S.W.O.R.D., was released in 2020 as part of the Krakoan Age. It focuses on Brand again, as leader of a revived S.W.O.R.D. that's controlled by the new mutant nation of Krakoa, not human governments. | |
