The Unworthy Thor Issue #5, Pgs 3-4 DPS - Olivier Coipel

A great Coipel example.  Congrats

Odins beard. I second Larry.  When you can get a Larry comment, you know it's a gem

A Return to Glory for Thor!  Coipel's art has always been glorious!

Pretty much the pinnacle example. Great addition.

Oooh, I'm jelly.  IMO one of Coipel's best images ever and that's of course saying something.  Lotsa Thor history here (including a personal favorite time with the Simonson armor!) and rendered as only Coipel can render.  I loved this miniseries for the art and this example is right at the top.  Whew.  Huge congrats, my friend!

hot damn that's one of the best modern Thor examples/DPS I've ever seen! He packs so much in there but everything is perfectly placed and rendered. congrats!

Epic DPS and stellar example.

Wow, this needs to be framed!!! amazing

An absolute steller DPS!

Beautifully rendered Coipel DPS, featuring some dynamic character work.  

Brilliant pickup!  Thor really has a presence here and love the Weeks style hulk too! Huge congrats. Can't imagine a better Coipel example.

Coipel firing on all cylinders here! Outrageously good! Congrats E!

This piece HAS TO be one of the, if not THE greatest Thor pieces Coipel has ever created. Kudos!

Coipel had a great run on Thor, and this DPS is a great example. Congrats! 

Coipel does a great Thor. Classic rendition.

Just an amazing, representative Thor piece by Coipel. Huge congrats! 

Zounds!

Hell yeah.

Baller.

I know you were excited for this one and it's amazing! Big congrats, Eranga!

Totally agree that Coipel is a modern great and this is a prime example of his immense talents! WOW!

At the risk of being accused of throwing that word around, this has to be a grail for many a collector. Congrats on this beauty.

I completely agree with your statements: his own influences, on others, his levelling up on that particular series.

(This is also where I find he decided that backgrounds were a thing of the past for him and inks could nicely fill the pages up where needed ^^)

100% about the backgrounds! Ink wash and dry brush became a huge part of his replacement arsenal. 

Superb artwork! Thor looks majestatic!

This is fantabulisctical! Wowsers. Congrats 

So much to love about this artwork.  Grail worthy!

It's just perfect!

Olivier is ssssoooooooo good!

Incredible page! Big Congrats! 

Prime Coipel Thor and one of hte best images in the run. This is a stunner! Congrats!

Odin's beard!!!  WOW, Eranga - this is next level's next level!  An absolute pinnacle Coipel piece that (you nailed it) positively sings, thanks to Olivier's inking and washes.  Love the original Avengers lineup (with Wasp popping out, way in front), and I love how Olivier illustrates the different belt buckles Thor has borne over the years. :)  And as much as this is (unquestionably) a museum-Worthy piece, let's not lose sight of the fact that there's some good storytelling here, too, as that last subtle panel (hidden in some lovely shadows in that bottom right corner) portends of something rumbling in the distance (and coming closer)...  Fantastic job locking this one down, E!  This magic lightning can't possibly strike twice!

Outstanding DPS by Olivier Coipel for the Unworthy Thor. This spread features a fully rendered Thor walking through his memories of the past which is shown in a masterful montage. Olivier's art is beautifully rendered in black and white linework, and enhanced with grey ink washes which give the figures more weight and depth. The result is a more finished look than you get when artists just do linework and don't take the time to add ink washes. Coipel is a rising superstar who gives his all to everything he undertakes. Fantastic pick-up, congrats.

Worthy of a second and third look
