Shouldn’t Odin be more impressively muscled? He is the leader of the Norse gods after all. The spear he’s holding is pretty wimpy as well. And the humans’ lack of amazement is pretty sloppy on the part of the artist. I guess he or she couldn’t do facial expressions.
@Tracy: it’s not the size of the spear with the runes, it’s the size of the runes in the spear.
Even if the spear is not very large for a Norse God, judging from the size of the sledding Nazi it’s still around as big as a telephone pole, which will make it a bit awkward if Hitler was planning to wield it.

Well, that’s official. Christmas is cancelled this year.

Something more amazing than a giant, half frozen Odin and a nazi on a dogsled has caught Gray Oldman’s attention and we’ll never know what it is.

Maybe he’s spotted his son and heir, Gary Numan, coming to join them?

Will Ferrell as Odin in a Welteislehre-themed sequel to both ‘Elf’ and the godawful Eurovision film he just dumped on us.

The illustrator really captured the deep feelings of Total Cringe felt by Odin when he realized he was a part of this cover.

@GSS, Ryan. I was wondering if that was supposed to be “smirk” or “cringe”, but you’ve convinced me of the second.
“You’ll pry my Runespear out of my dead, cold…oh, wait a minute…”
Odin doesn’t look very structurally sound.

“hey, remember that big icicle we saw on the ground back there?”

Whether smirk or cringe, it appears to be a look of total constipation, er, I mean consternation.

Odin has many reasons to cringe. Scrawny, missing junk, and apparently still needing to pee, which is going to be tough without said junk.
@fred: GSS! Sums it up very neatly.
Additional GSS to Francis, Tat, Ryan, and Bruce.
Milan also wrote a book titled simply “Western”. I can but refer you to:
