A nice combination of Vince's scritchy-scratchy pen lines and very bold, fluid brush strokes. Colletta also did lots of inventive work with white out here. Loki's arms in panels 2 & 4 are inked in a slicker style than I'm used to seeing but, as usual, he show's Kirby's anatomical renderings to their greatest advantage. The muscles have depth and look real as does Sif's hair. I must give props for Jack's use of the word "canst," probably a hybrid of a Norse language and lower east side slang.
I agree with you Artistram3d1. If any comic was suited for Vinnie's style, it was Thor. Although he did take a few too many liberties with the pencils by erasing things and simplifying some stuff, such as buildings and taking out backgrounds here and there. No excuse for that.
Colletta pen and brush work excellent!

Colletta inks
I agree with you on Vinnie's artistry. IMHO only he gave a distinct 'flavor' to Thor and Asgard.
This is a beautiful page.
