Just read them.
Liking the writing.
Right up until...
Jesus Holy Christ on a cracker barrel.
Bullseye sneaks up on Heimdall.
Heimdall!
The God of "hearing a leaf dropping in a bed of feathers in a sealed vault locked inside a black hole."
What the actual.... ?!

Jane Foster Valkyrie. #1-2 Discussion and Spoilers
If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

it's mentioned in the issue that the dragonfang is enchanted to hide its users from even the god-sight

Well, I think that's a loophole in the enchantment. The Death Sight isn't Valkyrie seeing Bullseye coming, but the fact of Heimdall's impending demise. Caused by Bullseye, sure, but not actually Bullseye himself.

Dragonfang is an indestructible sword wielded by the Asgardian goddess Brunnhilda, who is also known as Valkyrie. Legend states that the sword was created by an ancient oriental wizard named Kahji-da. Kahji-da is said to have forged the sword thousands of years ago out of the tusk of an un-named extradimensional dragon. At some point long ago, the sword came in to the hands of The Ancient One.
The Ancient one retained possession of the sword for many years until he passed it along to his disciple Doctor Strange. Doctor Strange kept the sword in his possession until he bestowed it upon the Asgardian goddess Valkyrie.
The sword was finally awarded to Valkyrie after she returned the Ebony Blade, a weapon she had borrowed, to its righful owner The Black Knight. Currently, Valkyrie is still in possession of Dragonfang.

Edit: I guess the indestructible warranty finally expired as well. Seems to be happening to a lot of magic weapons recently.Last edited by brettc1; 09-08-2019 at 04:33 AM.

Yes, I remember all of this info. Originally Posted by brettc1

I also read online that the sword has a blood curse on it that makes it sharper with each kill. This I do not believe, since it was never mentioned before in the 40+ yr hiistory of Dragoonfang. In addition, it sounds like some fan mixed up the Ebony Blade curse!

The All-Weapon seems a little too gimicky to me...can be anything at anytime for any need. I could see some sort of mace that the head can be launched off attached to a chain...but changing into anything at anytime is just a little too much to me.

I don't think its unreasonable to forget that the signature weapon of a Valkyrie was gifted to her in a random-ass Defenders story instead of just being, you know, the weapon of a Valkyrie.
