selenak: (Abigail Brand by Handyhunter)
I just read that as of the new Captain Marvel, S.W.O.R.D will no longer exist in the Marvelverse. No word yet whether they'll simply dissolve the situation or retcon it as never having existed at all.

This makes me profoundly unhappy and upset because of Abigail Brand, head of S.W.O.R.D.. Now I haven't been following the comics for a while (read: years), but ever after Joss Whedon's run of Astonishing X-Men had finished and the following comics also used Abigail Brand, whom he had invented (for a while, she even got her own series, which meant TPTB liked her, too), I took it for granted she would remain in the Marvelverse. I loved many things about Astonishing X-Men, but the abrasive, morally ambiguous Agent Brand was one of the elements I loved most. (Which is why I wrote some stories about her.) And it was one of the few times where I predicted and wanted a pairing and then it happened. (And kept happening in Brand's and Hank McCoy's post-Whedon appearances.) In conclusion: I love Abigail Brand.

If they retcon her out of existence I'll, I'll...

....do nothing at all, in all likelihood, except for shaking my first at the Marvellian sky and consider a career as a supervillain. With green hair. It'll be all your fault, Marvel. *starts to plot ridiculous plan to take over the world, just in case*
