S.W.O.R.D. #1
In "No Time To Breathe," Abigail Brand faces a perfect storm aboard The Peak space station: a hostile co-director, a desperate half-brother on the run, and a Drenx delegation with invasion on their minds. With Beast at her side and Death's Head making off with her brother Lothi, the stakes soar as she and her allies launch a desperate pursuit across the station’s corridors. Written by Kieron Gillen and illustrated by Steven Sanders, with inks by Craig Yeung and letters by Dave Lanphear, this opening issue of S.W.O.R.D. #1 sets a tense, high-stakes tone, all under John Cassaday’s striking cover.
In "No Time To Breathe," Abigail Brand faces a perfect storm on The Peak: a hostile co-director, an alien delegation with invasion on the mind, and her half-brother Lothi fleeing Death's Head—only for the mercenary to storm the station and make off with him. With Beast and Lockheed at her side, Abigail must keep her composure as she races to stop the chaos before it spirals beyond control.
In "Not Yet," Lockheed and Abigail grapple with the impossible—trying to reach Kitty Pryde, stranded in a deadly, accelerating bullet hurtling through space. With time running out and no clear path to her, their desperate efforts test the limits of hope and connection.
