With Hine handling art, inks, and colors, the story unfolds with a grounded, mythic tone, setting up a mystery that stretches from wartime Europe to the lunar surface. The cover by Dougie Braithwaite captures the issue’s eerie, historical weight.
In "Case Nine: Spear Of Destiny," a mysterious artifact traces a bizarre path from the hands of Adolf Hitler to the lunar surface, where it briefly rests in the grip of a flagpole during the Moon landing. The story unfolds as a speculative sci-fi mystery, weaving historical figures and impossible timelines with quiet, eerie precision.
In "Lord of Misrule, Part 2," Sláine confronts Sheriff Gilbert, uncovering the truth that Niamh—now Sister Marian—holds the key to the Sword of the Blood God. As Marian resists revealing the secret, Sláine deciphers the God’s true name and calls forth the ancient entity to battle. Though the Blood God flees, cursing Marian to death by fire, the Goddess intervenes to save her—only for Broog to summon the God once more. With the fate of the realm hanging in the balance, Sláine stands ready to face the fury of the Blood God in a final, desperate clash.
