Based on the Hugo nominated novella, "Thor Meets Captain America," The Life Eaters is an incredibly imaginative tale that uses stunning artwork to explore Germany's embracement of necromancy to win World War II. In this enthralling historical fiction, Adolf Hitler devises an unholy plot that pits the ancient Norse gods against the Allied forces. But after quickly gaining advantage and ground against his enemies, the Fuhrer's mystical strategy suddenly backfires when the food of the gods runs short. Now with the enraged mythological icons on a desperate search for nourishment, Germany becomes involved in a secondary war of truly epic proportions as Norse and Hindu gods battle for survival and sustenance.
