The Life Eaters #[nn]
In "Part One - The Night of Questions," writer David Brin and artist Scott Hampton launch a bold, mythic tale set during World War II, where Nazi forces summon the Norse gods in a desperate bid for victory. When Loki alone chooses to side with the Allies, his alliance with soldier Chris Turing leads to a desperate final stand—only for him to vanish at the moment of truth. As Chris and his men face capture, their defiance and the mysterious influence of a young servant named Lars set the stage for a story where belief itself becomes a weapon. The issue’s haunting, richly detailed art by Scott Hampton, from pencils to inks and colors, brings this alternate history to life with a quiet intensity.

During World War II, the Germans summon the Norse gods to help them achieve victory. Only Loki sides with the Allies and, in 1962, accompanies Chris Turing and his soldiers in a last ditch effort against Odin's forces. As they reach their goal, however, Loki disappears. With their most powerful ally gone, Chris and his soldiers are quickly captured by the gods and their Nazi lackeys. Even though their cause is lost and their lives forfeit, Chris defies Thor, breaks the Spear of Destiny and tells Odin he does not believe in him. This action has a deep impression on young servant, Lars.
