  • 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: 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???

Thanks for the previews Rik :)

The only one I'll probably buy is Tales from Riverdale. I'm not a big Sonic fan, and am really disappointed with the current format of B&V Spectacular. I know it's been that way for some time now, but the original version was something everyone could enjoy - now it's something that will mostly be of interest to pre-teen and teenage girls.

im looking forward for TFR and B&VS dont care much about Sonic
anyway i see your point oldiesmann....but i actually applaud AC for doing this since it give AC a variety of looks instead of just one......and as for it targeted for preeteen girls....well i mean its the same B&V nothing really changed

Tales From Riverdale #20 is on my "must-get" list.

I like Sonic...but more in the actual "video game" format.

As for B&V Spectacular...although it looks a lot like SevenTeen magazine, the inside of the book still looks very Archie comicky...if that makes sense.

Does it really have fashion tips and such in it? That's the main thing that's turning me off - I don't want my comic book filled with fashion tips and recipes and such.

I don't think I've seen the new B&VS format, but I like the idea. Prior to the change, B&VS was just another B&V comic - with just stories that could easily fit in a B&V issue. There was nothing "spectacular" about it.

Now, though, there's actually something to distinguish it and justify its existence.

I agree. It's not for me, but I think it's good that Archie Comics is doing something for their target audience. I'm not getting it anymore because it's not geared towards me, but I don't mind.
