Yes, I see the not so subtle not to Simonson.  But that Thor is all Frenz.  Fabulous commission.  So glad your turn finally came up.  Congratulations.

Exactly as Eric says (as usual :) )!  It's gotta hit you right in all the nostalgic feels, K, having a deep and authentic vein of Simonson -and- Frenz flavor running through the piece.  Wonderful!  It sure looks like Ron enjoyed the assignment, too - that serpent is a wonderfully detailed love letter to those fantastic couple issues!  A fantastic use of a commission spot, K!  Congrats!

Patience reward! Outstanding. 

Really interesting way that the scene is presented/composed! Almost as if the background elements and the tail of Jormungand are "matted" within the piece with that double outline creating a panel-like effect for their epic battle to pop out from the panel and spill outward and over onto the larger canvas - very cool stuff and classic depictions of both characters by Frenz! congrats on the great commission result. 

Yes, I felt the same when I saw it! It's almost as though Thor is going to travel through a portal into a mythical domain to fight the Serpent.

Yes, I see it.  Gettin' ready to bat him back through the panel :)

Thanks, Kavi, and all, for the comments!

The title is a mouthful, but the art is simply terrific!

The wait was definitely worth it! Congrats on the gorgeous piece, Ron crushed this one!!!

The Frenz take some time, but he still has the magic that's worth the wait. Excellent!

Oh this is well done!

It is extra important in Asgard to brush and floss. 

Definitely worth the wait, and then some! Congrats on a great piece - love the recent theme! 

Batter up!

The layout on this piece really works and glad your wait is over at long last.

This terrific illustration looks like a Ron Frenz Thor and a Walter Simonson Midgard Serpent joint effort! By keeping Thor completely outside the background panel, Frenz perfectly captured the illusion he was looking to create of the Serpent coming out of his realm to do battle in Thor's realm! Fabulous!

Brush my body armor
'Cause the inking makes me weak
Swinging of the hammer
I see no ceiling, when Thor looks at dragon teeth

How can we go back to being Frenz
When we just shared serpent?
How can you look at me Jormungand?
I'm someone you've never met?

It was last December
You were Wishin’ all my Best
I still love Walter
I was scared of dragon breath, didn't want you to lose your Frenz

Love it! Ron's take on this battle is awesome, as expected. His commissions are always fantastic!

Great rendition of the best Thor battle ever!

Thanks, D, and agreed!  When I think of Thor battles in all the Thor books I've read over the years, issue 380 still rises to the top!

My money is on Jormungand to win this battle!

Frenz' commissions are always great and you'd swear looking at this that Simonson actually drew Jormungand ;)

No matter the long wait if the result is like this! It is so cool! Huge congrats!

A good looking vs commission piece, cheers!

Wow! Love this rendition of Thor by Ron Frenz, all armored up and ready to rumble. And I love the way Frenz drew Thor attacking Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent! I don't know if you intended it or not, but it almost appears to me like the Dragon is climbing out of some kind of window or portal from another dimension. Very cool commission!

Frenz DELIVERS!!!  That Midgard Serpent is just incredible.  This could easily be a gate-fold splash page from that famous battle issue.  Easily one of the best commissions i've seen in a long time.
