S.W.O.R.D. by Al Ewing

Marvel’s 2021 series S.W.O.R.D., written by Al Ewing with art by Valerio Schiti, reimagines the sentient space station as a crucial hub for mutantkind’s interstellar ambitions during the Krakoa era. Across its two-issue run, the series establishes S.W.O.R.D. as a diplomatic and defensive force, bridging Earth’s mutants with the wider cosmos. Though brief, it matters for its bold expansion of the X-Men’s cosmic frontier under Ewing’s inventive, character-driven storytelling.
