In a horrible supernatural turn of Alternate History WW2 events, the Norse Gods side with the Germans in a 1986 Hugo Award nominated short story by David Brin called Thor Meets Captain America . ( Go read it here .) This story later gets adapted & expanded into a great 2003 graphic novel from IDW titled The Life Eaters  illustrated by Scott Hampton. One only shudders to think ... but it makes for a terrific tale that turns our conceptions of the Gods on their ear. #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in  the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires'  Norse Gods and Giants  at age seven. Since t hen he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the  Map of Midgard  project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay.   If you have e mployment/ opportunities in  investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer,  do contact h
