Well, I tried to get the 4 comics that came out last week. The shop in town was a bust, no big surprise. The one I like to try in the next town over was closed for the holiday weekend. Well, can't argue with people taking time off. The other store in that town had one of the books, so we work with what we've got.
Moon Knight wakes up in a void, bound in chains. His soul is trapped within Carver's soul, after she impaled him with it. Well hush my mouth. So Moonie gets a rundown on Carver's backstory, as well as the swords. She was on a gig for Roxxon in Vanaheim, things were going bad, the sword made an offer, and she took it. Now she has to feed the sword souls, or it takes hers. Fairchild promised he could free her, but that's a lie.
Rosenberg uses a yellow-gold for the flashbacks to Carver's past, an unearthly color that makes a nice contrast to the stark black void Moon Knight's chained up in, but keeps the tone muddy enough that it's not shining fairy-tale world. For Carver, Vanaheim was an ugly, terrifying place of stuff she wasn't ready to deal with, least of all a sword forged by a mad dwarf who immediately killed a dragon with it.
The sword took the dragon's soul, and with it, its desire to hoard. Moon Knight calls on the dragon-sword to surrender, as we see he let Carver run him through. Because his soul is already claimed, and Khonshu's kind of a jealous bitch about this kind of thing. Pramanik had been using chains for panel borders as Moon Knight spoke with Ginnarr, but those are replaced with a wavy white border as Moon Knight breaks free and Khonshu forces his way into the conversation, the chains now appearing around Ginnarr instead.
