S.W.O.R.D.

Marvel's 2021–2022 series S.W.O.R.D., written primarily by Al Ewing with art by Valerio Schiti, Jacopo Camagni, and Stefano Caselli, follows the newly re-formed Sentient World Observation and Response Department as it navigates interstellar diplomacy and threats from the perspective of mutantkind. Centered on Abigail Brand and a team including Frenzy, Manifold, and Wiz-Kid, this 11-issue run expands the cosmic side of the Krakoan era, blending espionage, sci-fi, and political intrigue. It matters as a key piece of Marvel's X-Men line, bridging Earth-bound mutant stories with the wider universe.
