  • 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 :)

  • 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???

ARCHIE COMICS AIMS FOR THE STARS WITH 2ND MAGAZINE

[img align=left]http://www.img.archiecomics.com/press/vbmag001_200x269.jpg[/img] New York, NY (November 22, 2010): Archie Comics—home to the world’s   hottest comic book magazine LIFE WITH ARCHIE—is about to get even hotter   as the company gets ready to launch its second magazine title, VERONICA & BETTY!   The creative forces at Archie Comics are pushing boundaries once again   as the new title launching next year will take Veronica and Betty far   away from Archie and the small town of Riverdale into worldwide   adventures!  “Veronica and Betty are on their own as they leave Riverdale to   take on the world as international exchange students. Plus, Archie and   Reggie are pretty excited about the two exchange students that come to   Riverdale in Veronica and Betty’s place. The new girls in Archie’s town   aren’t going to be hard on the eyes or the heart,” explained Archie Comics Editor-in-Chief Victor Gorelick.
The glamour and excitement of VERONICA & BETTY magazine   is set to be written by famed ARCHIE WEDDING and LIFE WITH ARCHIE   writer Michael Uslan. The venerable fan-favorite writer will once again   be tapping into the essential Archie questions and setting “VERONICA & BETTY” in an entirely new light.
Illustrated by Archie Comics superstar Dan Parent, the new ongoing   story will switch back and forth between Veronica and Betty’s travels   across the globe and Archie, Reggie, Jughead and the new girls turning   Riverdale upside-down in VERONICA & BETTY magazine.
“Everyone has been responding phenomenally to LIFE WITH ARCHIE   magazine. In answer to that demand we are pushing the envelope once   again and switching things around for Archie, Veronica and Betty. That’s   where VERONICA & BETTY magazine comes in,” stated Archie Comics Co-CEO Jon Goldwater.
Stay tuned to ArchieComics.com for updates about VERONICA & BETTY magazine, another phenomenal magazine line from Archie Comics, debuting Spring/Summer 2011.

I really am enjoying this magazine format.  The Life With Archie one is a huge hit, and I suspect Veronica & Betty will be too!  I'll be buying it!

It's actually the right format for "Betty and Veronica Spectacular version 2".  The comic was very "magazine-like" and I think this is the wisest way to re-schedule the title (yes - I do consider this B&V Spectacular's re-birth)

I don't have too many issues of B&V Spectactular (I think I own #70 and #90), but I do like they did with that title, and I'm hoping come May or June, or whenever it comes out, it'll still have the same impact.

Whoa, whoa, whoa there.  How did Veronica get top billing?  Betty's going to be sulking and pouting for weeks over this.

Or as Dan DeCarlo and Frank Doyle put it over 30 years ago:





Now finally there's a title that we can rhyme!

I love the "Watch it!" from Betty. Frank Doyle did so many great stories. Too bad we don't know more about him...

Wasn't there also a cover for Betty & Veronica where Veronica had the names in the title swapped so that she would get top billing?

I think I have that one!  Wasn't a crain involved in moving the names or something?  I'm foggy with the details (I haven't read it in a while).
