Oh no, that laughter. Not to mention this is an obvious blow to the other characters perception of Coal, though Aude looks like she finds some value in the change. Which still leaves me worried to be honest
Aud seems like the pragmatic sort. Perhaps she’s smiling because, as disturbing as this scene is, at least Agnar is not going to be a problem any more. Agnar was a serious threat to her, her people, and her child.
Her people are undoubtedly going to be extremely uncomfortable around Coal from now on, but that’s ok, because the plan has always been for Coal and his party to leave as soon as the boat is fixed.
This has got to be unfathomably difficult for Hedda to deal with emotionally. On the one hand, Coal is doing horrifying things that she would normally despise, but on the other hand, he just saved her life. (again!) In fact, it was specifically the threat to her life that pushed him over the edge. He was trying to be peaceful until then.
I figure that the leader of the warband intruding on the party wants to die in battle. He looks old, and he is hoping that he gets his wish. It would be funny if Coal kills all his henchmen (huscarls) but leaves their leader alone, to die in bed, denied forever Valhalla, with only the cold mists of Niflheim (or gloom of Helheim) as his afterlife.
I thought Loki would run towards the fight rather than away from it. If the fight is over in the last panel shouldn’t he be going to calm coal down?
If he plans on using magic maybe he wants to get out of the general view. But that doesn’t feel quite right either. It’s a mystery.
Loki is crafty. Unwise to predict the significance of actions when its purpose may be unclear.
He’s going for that Chest of Tricks he took off the ship…
Coal is just a little bit too slash happy….
Hack happy.
Poke peppy.
Jab jazzy.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
When it gives you antagonists, make antagonade.
This sounds more like it´s going to be mincemeat. Or maybe shish kebab.
Agnar Tartare.
Service a la Russe (in this case, all the bodies in one pile served up all at once)
Cant have a slaughter witout a little laughter!
hehehe John Henry!
I am so happy that someone actually got it, was wondering if it was just me being odd

I reckon she smiles when Agnar is killed. Cleans that mess up. Now who else has a weapon in their hand????
That smile is kinda disturbing

The last three swordy onomatopoeias sounded more squishy and les metally than the first one, wonder why
The laughing reminds me of The Bloody Nine from The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie.

If Hedda grips that cross any tighter she’ll give herself a case of stigmata..

I love the firelight, especially in the first and last panels.
