The Life Eaters - classic or dud

this is some David Brin written comic in which THE NORSE GODS team up with ADOLF HITLER to conquer THE WORLD. It's got painted art and stuff.

Is it any good? I've not read it, but skimming it in the shops it looks like the kind of comic a prose writer would script - too many words, not enough action. Still, a nice picture of some Valkyries riding into battle with some helicopters.

NORSE GODS & NAZIS! I can't believe people aren't more interested by this.

I could've sworn this was a Superman thing, but I must be thinking of something else. Weird -- I was just thinking about David Brin last night! But I've never heard of the comic.

I haven't read the story proper (though it's on my Amazon wishlist). My big problem with it, however, is that it's neither a comicbook nor a novel, but some bastard format that will probably combine the worst aspects of both.

That said, the story seems compelling, based on a look at the pages I had some time ago.
