The threat of Knull is real and his King in Black symbiote forces have overrun the globe.

Something called Protocol V will be employed by SWORD?!

The book ends in Krakoa with…

…a symbiote’d Cable read to take on his own team and Magneto!

The Pulse:

While I enjoyed the series’ debut issue, I was worried about a King in Black tie-n, but it was intriguing, entertaining and well drawn. Solid yet anticipated cliffhanger. 7.5 out of 10.
