comment
S.W.O.R.D. is a 2020 Marvel comic book series, written by Al Ewing and drawn by Valerio Schiti, as part of the Dawn of X event.Abigail Brand was the head of the Alpha Flight Space Program, but feeling irritated by human bureaucracy and left out of the loop regarding Earth-shattering disasters, she quit. Now she is once again the head of S.W.O.R.D., a new incarnation of the Sentient World Observation and Response Department, based on space station the Peak, and now with the new mutant nation of Krakoa and the Quiet Council as its new boss.Now, the Mutants of Earth have their own space program. And Brand has ideas. Big ideas.It's a Sequel Series of sorts to the original 2009 S.W.O.R.D. series, which also centered around Abigail Brand and used Gyrich in a key role.The series lasted eleven issues before ending, being followed by X-Men Red (2022).

Sure, Let's Go with That: Hulkling mentions he and Wiccan tried calling the Scarlet Witch for help, but got no response, which he assumes is because Dormammu is blocking them. Abigail, who knows the real reason (namely: Wanda is dead), agrees with him.

Eden retorts that he's not a teleporter, but can warp space to punch Knull-Cable in the face with a piece of the sun, even if there's an omega somewhere that's allegedly "more".

Michael Nowlan was considered by Brand as a replacement for Fabian Cortez but his power boosting is addictive and Michael refuses to comply with Krakoan authority because they won't resurrect his human ex-wife. Brand's other potential choices include Boost, of Gene Nation, but his powers aren't entirely practical (being a Fusion Dance rather than just boosting someone's power), and Mister M, who's gone walkabout.

Manipulative Bastard: Abigail's got her some long-term plans. Plans which even the Quiet Council of Krakoa might not necessarily agree with, especially since they involve some actions which are if not illegal then super dicey, like call-screening distress signals sent to Earth, so she can have S.W.O.R.D. rush in, play hero, and earn some favor with Hulking she can cash in when he learns his mother in-law is dead. Turns out, she's trying to destroy Krakoa herself by setting themselves up for a great fall.

Butt-Monkey: No-one likes Fabian Cortez. In fairness, he's a backstabbing, weasel-minded suck-up. The only reason Brand has him around is because his powers are useful, and they don't have anyone better to fill his place. He is quickly kicked out of the team once they do find someone who can, after spectacularly failing to convince the Quiet Council to allow him to remain.

Fantastic Racism: Cortez is entirely open about his hatred for humans, and has some anti-human policies he'd like to raise to the Quiet Council. His argument, basically, is that killing humans shouldn't really count as murder. Sunfire seems outraged that a Skrull has set foot on Krakoa during Knull's attack.

comment
Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Fabien Cortez tries pleading with Knull-Cable for his life, but it doesn't save him from being killed. All Henry Gyrich can do in his last moments is hysterically beg for his life and try to appeal to a Thou Shalt Not Kill mentality from Brand. But because she simply has no Thou Shalt Not Kill philosophy, all she does is give him a brutal "The Reason You Suck" Speech before giving the begging man his rather brutal fate.

The Reveal

comment
The Reveal: A very major revelation occurs in issue 11. Abigail Brand hates Krakoa, as she considers the human vs. mutant division to be meaningless given they both originated from the same root species on the same planet; she regards herself simply as half-Terran, and doesn't think too highly of the Terran half. So much so that she's actually a mole for ORCHIS, as she intends to drag Earth kicking and screaming into "respectable" galactic society.

Superman Stays Out of Gotham: Issue 2 is a King in Black crossover. Towards the end, we see the Five on Krakoa debating whether to get involved or not, with Proteus and Tempus really wanting to get in on the action, while Hope and Elixir don't, preferring to keep resurrecting Mutants. Mentallo and Brand seem to override their concerns by getting them off Earth in case the symbiotes destroy it.

Then Hulkling's space sword gets smashed to pieces.

Humiliation Conga: Issue 5 is one for Fabian. First, his rebirth isn't celebrated by anyone (apparently everyone was too partied out after resurrecting Sunfire). Then he has to attend the Quiet Council meeting he asked for completely nude. His points are dismissed, and it turns out Magneto never had any intention of actually going through with them and when he tries to play the "you need me" card, he finds out, nope, they don't. Brand's already found a better replacement for him. Inbetween all this, everyone snarks at him. In all fairness, he really has it coming.

Dragon with an Agenda: Abigail Brand's allegiance to Krakoa is strictly transactional as she makes it clear to Magneto that she sees herself as a Spacer before anything else, including being a mutant. This becomes even more apparent in Issue #7 where it turns out she is keeping the Quiet Council in the dark about her actions during The Last Annihilation event. And then in issue #11 it turns out she wants to burn Krakoa to the ground herself. And soon.

Peeper, a very minor mutant with a few vision-related abilities, also returns. Mentallo, who had only been a face in the crowd during the foundation of Krakoa, returns during the Knull crisis. Amelia Voght, who had been on the same boat as Mentallo, finally reappears in issue 5.

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Doom suggests that mutantkind's mining mysterium created a cosmic disturbance, which is what kicked off the events of Last Annihilation when Dormammu noticed.

Continuity Nod: Among the people Brand speculates should've filled the position as head of Alpha Flight after Carol Danvers is Dr. Peter Corbeau, a former associate of the X-Men from the Claremont days (and who does in fact have experience managing space-related government projects), or Puck of Alpha Flight. Michael Nowlan was considered by Brand as a replacement for Fabian Cortez but his power boosting is addictive and Michael refuses to comply with Krakoan authority because they won't resurrect his human ex-wife. Brand's other potential choices include Boost, of Gene Nation, but his powers aren't entirely practical (being a Fusion Dance rather than just boosting someone's power), and Mister M, who's gone walkabout. Issue 3 lays down the current political situation with the Snark, after their previous emperor, Stote, caught a fatal case of laser to the brain, as seen over in Guardians of the Galaxy. Eden returns to visit some of his mates in Australia, bringing up his escapades with the Avengers, and noting that the X-Men are seen as alright in Australia's eyes (after their stay there in the Claremont years). Iron Man, meanwhile, is a drongo. In issue 4, Frenzy mentions her crush on Cyclops, from the X-Men: Legacy days. The first page of issue 5 is the Plex Intelligence, head of the Utopian Kree, going over all the stuff going down in space, such as the Olympians, Knull, and Korvac's rebirth over in Iron Man. During Doom and Storm's chat in issue 7, they bring up that time Doom turned Ororo into a statue. Doom insists that was actually a Doombot. In issue 11, when berating Gyrich for assuming that Wiz-Kid would remain loyal to him, Brand mentions that "[Wiz-Kid] was an Avenger for two minutes", referencing his time as a student at Avengers Academy.

comment
First World Problems: When arguing that he should be able to kill humans with impunity, Fabian Cortez brings up small grievances he has suffered at the hands of human, in front of a council of mutants who have suffered far worse. He starts by saying his family are wealthy Europeans who in the course of history subdued continents, but only gave scraps of this to him and his mutant sister, in front of Storm, who grew up in poverty in Cairo, and Magneto, who grew up Jewish in Germany and Poland in the thirties and forties. He complains about only getting a six-figure sum and land in Florida in front of Emma Frost, who created her own wealth after being disowned by her own rich and abusive family. This is after he insists to Storm that he, a handsome, blond, white man who grew up rich, knows what it is to be oppressed at least as well as her.

Loophole Abuse: "Murder No Man" means "murder no human," but it specifically does not mean "murder no aliens," which is how Abigail Brand was able to get Khora of the Burning Heart to assassinate all of the Snark heirs but one, thereby stopping the Snarkwar and gaining favor for Krakoa and Arakko. Magneto lampshades the thin line Abigail is walking to justify this, and warns her to be careful lest it explode in her face.

He demonstrates by conjuring a piece of the sun, kept in a bubble that won't harm anyone else but symbiotes, and punches Knull-Cable in the face with it to purge him of his corruption.

Conveniently Interrupted Document: As with other Krakoan Age books, S.W.O.R.D. uses text-based 'data pages', some of which use the Classified Information variant to redact details. The first issue contains an organisation chart for S.W.O.R.D., with the identity of the 'Psionic Analyst', the other half of Cable's role and the purpose of the Six all redacted.
