Fear Itself (2011) Issue 5 pg. 2 (feat Hulk & Thing v Thor) - Stuart Immonen

It's not the size of the hammer...

Immonen and Von Grawbadger nail this page down with a fantastic action sequence and great design of the center panels that show Thor's power ebbing away with the slight dip on each panel position.  The concussive blasts of these powerful swings are fully shown in the stellar effects.

Earth-shaking page, T - wow!  Marcus hit the nail squarely on the head (with all these hammers flying around, it's little wonder that's the phrase that came out) about the middle tier of panels.  Not only do they dip slightly, but they also narrow while simultaneously displaying more dynamics (speed lines, etc.).  It's like increasing the pressure while limiting the space and the effect is masterful: the tension and stakes ratchet up dramatically from panel to panel.  As exciting as this potential scenario sounds to the 8-year old fanboy in me ("It's Thor vs. Asgardian Hulk and Asgardian Thing!"), the "reality" of it is brutal, scary, and unforgiving to the Thunder God.  Beautiful smasher of a page, T!  Sincere congrats!

Such a dynamic page!  I'm a big fan of Stuart Immonen, and his work here is really stunning.  

Immonen is unparalleled as an artist.  This page shows his extraordinary skills in rendering action!  Congratulations, my friend!

Thor getting a taste of his own medicine, that's the first! Great Action Page bud!!!
