SWORD Surprise

dewlineSo, I got word from Kieron Gillen's blog this morning about SWORD getting the chop at Marvel.
My reaction includes some...mild...dismay at the word of how retailer orders for # 1-2 may have decided the fate of the series before a single non-retailer pair of eyes actually read the books in question. After actually having read those issues, I'm surprised that the axe fell as quickly as it has. It's a fun read, at least to my eyes. But then, I have a natural sympathy for SHIELD spin-offs.
However, all may not yet be lost re: SWORD's future, as Kieron notes in the link above.
For details, however naively hopeful they may be, see this link. I'd prefer to be naively hopeful wherever possible myself.
