  • 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 :)

  • 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???

Nepotism! But seriously, this must have been one wonderful germ of an idea if she gets writing credits with her mother.

Could it be that Samantha is now the world's youngest comic book writer? I think Jim Shooter is officially the youngest writer.  He was writing Legion of Super-Heroes at 16. Maybe Samantha will take that record. :)

We could even add her to the "Pros who got their start at Archie" thread... :)

Anyway, I wrote and illustrated a children' book about a wandering rooster named "Johnny" when I was 10 (that was wayyy back in 1981, BTW.)

I still have the book, BTW and I'll gladly scan its contents if you like.:) (It's pretty old, though.)

Edit: It was never published, though.

Ah, that's right. I didn't think 16 was right when I typed it, but I knew it was close. Thanks for the correction, Forsythe.

Awesome! I'd have loved to be able to participate in the creation of a published book when I was 10!
