  • PTF: It's a magic hammer. It doesn't have to make sense. :)

  • 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.

  • 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???

  • 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

BETTY & VERONICA DIGEST #179
"Westward, Huh?": Yee-ha!  Mr. Lodge sends Betty and Veronica to visit famed western writer Charlie Chuck’s ranch in hopes that it will break him out of his writer’s block.  The girls soon learn of a series of strange accidents that have unnerved Charlie and his clan, but what’s more mysterious is the question of who is behind the mishaps… and more mysterious still is the answer to the question of who will save our heroes?  Saddle up your horse and don’t miss the bronco-busting fun!  SCRIPT AND ART: Pat Kennedy. 

Ah-ha! Gotcha, Archie Comics! I have found the original printing of this supposedly "new" story. It was originally titled "Way Out West" and appeared in Archie Giant Series Magazine #608 (8/90).

But, how many stories are recycled each year?  There are plenty of cover gags that have been reprinted over the years.  Even though Archie has been around for 65 years, I don't necessarily find it a bad thing for plots to be recycled...besides, we're only judging the story based on the first two pages...the rest of it could be radically different.

Guess we'll see in October, huh?
