I love this book. I think it's great for all the reasons that other books fail. It's a spin off, which usually means that the company is just trying to get some more money from an event. To me this one works. It's funny, the characters are new and have tons of room to grow. This book can even link the marvel space stuff to the earth stuff.SWORD is like the port authority of the world. Think Men in Black but without Will Smith, oh and funny with more sci-fi parts. All the things you want without the mind wipe jokes.
But I just read that this might get canceled. It would be a real shame if this title does get canceled. So far it's been fun and exciting. I urge you to pick this title up, even just to see Lockheed kick some ass. And who doesn't like to see a cat sized dragon taking on a SWAT team of HAMMER agents?
Lastly I have to say that the art was a little weird at first. The way they drew Beast was more of a blue cow than the cat Beast we've grown to love. But now I like it. It fits the tone of the writing and it just all works. I wish Marvel would give this title some time to grow. I've seen them give much worse titles a lot longer to linger to a slow death. Let's not jump ship after the first arc.
