  • Steveinthecity: I wonder why it's always readers that catch mistakes with art, powers, plots, continuity, uniforms, etc. and not the creators and editors?  I hope they're not secretly laughing at us. ;)

  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Biollante: ok so shouldn't Joe Quesada know that? lol  It made him look a bit stupid imo.
    May 21, 2012, 07:57:37 AM
  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)
    May 21, 2012, 07:23:13 AM
  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

  • Biollante: Joe Quesada was drawing Thor on some Disney promo, and he drew him flying with his hammer on his side, now I'm not a Thor junkie, but isn't that actualy inaccurate, doesn't he fly by being dragged by his hammer???

  • Biollante: I'm just glad he's giving back to his fans by revisiting Blade Runner and Alien with Prometheus, I'm sure he's going to deliver too, his legacy as a film maker is on the line since those are his more iconic films

  • Biollante: aesthetics*
    May 20, 2012, 10:58:08 AM
  • Biollante: gonna be hard for anyting to catch up, Ridley Scott is pretty much the top of dark visual design imo, and he drew a lot from Moebius for that film, most fillm makers are not really connected to aestheticas of good fantasy film making in the same way

Yup, those are JUST the sort of poses I can imagine an Archie artist needing. ;-)

But I like your site.

Well... that first pose could easily be Moose & Reggie, then someone holding Jug back from a buffet, another Moose & hapless victim pose... Perhaps a stylist of Veronica's wielding a hair dryer, and . . . okay, on the last one, I've got nothin'. :)

Well, that last one looks just like the Punisher's pose in the promo art for "Archie Meets The Punisher".  I never read that, though; it didn't seem very Archie-like.

The last one could be featured as a picture where Archie goes w/ Betty or Veronica to a fair and tries to win a prize...?

Or maybe Betty with a welding gun or riveting tool.  She can do anything, don't you know?

darkmark - Betty does seem similar to Rosie the Riveter sometimes!

Have paintball guns ever been shown in Archie comics? That might be a story where the last photo reference could be used.

Hmm I think I take a turn:

The first picture of the second set could be Veronica/Betty dragging Archie away from Betty/Veronica....or maybe Archie dragging Jughead from food cause they have something to do

They're great, ESAUL. I especially like trying to figure out scenarios they'd be workable with.

1. Moose & Reggie, or Jughead's dad pulling Jug, or Mr. Lodge/Smither's evicting Archie
2. Playing a really low game of pool/billiards or vacuuming under some furniture.
3. Starting a lawnmower, roller skating (race?), one of the girls shopping and elbowing other customers out of the way.
