I think I commented before that I have never cared about Venom and never will. I really don't get the purpose of SWORD. Each issue has focused on different characters so anyone you felt a connection to is not to be seen for months. There are little hints of a bigger story like the references to a mole worjing for Gyrich but ultimately it's character work and crossover. It's not bad but it isn't a SWORD story which surely should be yhe aim.
Odd choices. Will this work, the last SWORD series failed I dont know if they are doing better to build interest in this new version.
Anyway until Henry Peter Gyrich starts an X-Men fan blog, make mine X-Lapsed!
