The Life Eaters

In The Life Eaters, writer David Brin and artist Scott Hampton present a chilling alternate history where ancient Norse gods return to Earth during World War II, offering their power to Nazi Germany in exchange for humanity's worship. This single-issue graphic novel from IDW (2015) explores a world reshaped by divine intervention, where the line between myth and reality blurs amid global conflict. Brin's speculative fiction pedigree and Hampton's haunting visuals combine to create a thought-provoking, standalone tale that questions the cost of salvation and the nature of belief.
