In their stunning first issue, Al Ewing and Valerio Schiti promised that S.W.O.R.D. was the future. They just didn’t say how long that future will last. As Knull, the King in Black, covers the world in darkness, the immortal mutants will learn the most fundamental truth of the universe.
Everything dies.
Al Ewing has already written the best King In Black tie-in so far, and S.W.O.R.D. is likely not too thrilled about a gooey demon taking covering the planet in symbiotic slime. Will their much lauded Protocol V save the day? Or will Cable lose his arm again? You’ll have to wait until March to find out, but until then, we have the solicit text and Valerio Schiti’s beautiful cover to tide you over. Stay safe friends, darkness is around every corner.
S.W.O.R.D. #4
AL EWING (W) • VALERIO SCHITI (A/C)
KRAKOA, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!The mutants are dying. Their island is dying. Earth itself is dying. All hope for humanity as a species lies in Protocol V. Protocol V isn’t going to work.
