  • Biollante: pollster*

  • Biollante: probalby, but 59 percent is considered a "blow out" in political terms, some people are on shaky ground right now, there was evne a conservative pollset that worked for Bush warning people that if Republicans are against things like gay marriage in the near future, they would endure catastrophic losses, I don't know if it's this political cycle, but the paradigm shift already happened a while ago

  • Steveinthecity: Would the survey results differ if "civil union" was used in place of "marriage"?

  • PTF: Thor's hammer has fan club? :)

  • Banshee: Because we fans take our favorite stuff seriously, that is why.

  • 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.
    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.

  • comicsrod: As You may know Tonight of some Sad News the Robin Gibb 1/3 members of the fame Disco Group The Bee Gees has Passed Away at the age of 62 our Hearts go out to the only Survivor Bee Gees member Barry Gibb & His Family and his Music and Hollywood Friends as we Remember the Music Superstar he will be miss very much   ROBIN GIBB 1949-2012

  • 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???

Bill Galvan at WonderCon this weekend!



Sunday, Feb. 24: 12:30-2:00 The Secret Origin of Good Readers —  Making its fourth annual appearance at WonderCon, this year’s Secret Origin of Good Readers panel features Dr. Robyn A. Hill (National University, San Diego), Mimi Cruz (Night Flight Comics, Salt Lake City), Bill Galvan (co-creator/artist of The Scrapyard Detectives, artist for Archie), and Bill Morrison (creative director of Bongo Comics). The panelists will discuss how teachers, librarians, retailers, and publishers can work together to bring comic books into the classroom for use as an innovative and motivating cross-curricular teaching tool and a vehicle for promoting reading and literacy. Through a multimedia presentation, personal remarks, and a question-and-answer session, the speakers will present an overview of the medium and highlight specific ways that comic books and graphic novels have been used to engage a variety of learners. The 70-page The Secret Origin of Good Readers companion resource book and other exciting materials are available for free download at www.night-flight.com/secretorigin, courtesy of XMission.com. Room 232/234

Hi all,
Sitting in the hotel room waiting to go to the Wondercon party at the Cartoon Art Museum! I love looking at original artwork! Saw some original Dan DeCarlo artwork at the 'Con, but the price was too rich for my blood. Did manage to pick up a Jughead statue/bust for a cool $20- it's going right in my studio so Jug can watch me draw! More updates to come!

Had a full day today, had a chance to talk with Archie inker Rich Koslowski- he's got some great artwork to show at his booth! Also, talked with Batton Lash about some "Freshman Year" character designs and future issues. A major storm came into the bay area this morning and drenched the town in rain and high winds. Also went to the Museum of Cartoon Art last night and saw some Dan DeCarlo originals along with some great Disney artwork and a Max Fleischer Superman animation cel. Cool stuff! More tomorrow!

Re: Bill Galvan at WonderCon this weekend! FINAL UPDATE!

Had a good time during the day checking out the booths on the floor. Talked about literacy and comics on our Secret Origins panel discussion, and then headed over to Mel's cafe for lunch. Arrived early for our flight out of SF, but our flight was delayed by two hours. Got home at 2 am, and took the next day off!

All in all, a great trip- lot's of fun, friends and of course, comics!

You got it! I'm working on it right now- page 8 of issue #1, and as usual, Archie's in trouble! But that's all I can say for now!
