  • 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

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

  • 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???

PENGUIN YOUNG READERS GROUP AND ARCHIE COMICS PARTNER ON NEW SERIES OF MIDDLE GRADE NOVELS STARRING BETTY, VERONICA, ARCHIE AND JUGHEAD

New York, NY – October 8, 2010 – Popular comic book characters Betty, Veronica, Archie and Jughead will be featured in a new series of middle grade novels and humor books, Penguin Young Readers Group and Archie Comics announced today. The middle grade novels will feature all-new stories starring Betty and Veronica. The humor books will feature Archie and Jughead and will be aimed at kids aged 7-10. The series is slated to launch in early Summer 2011. The announcement was made today by Rob Valois at the New York Comic-Con during a panel discussion.

Francesco Sedita, Vice President and Publisher of Grosset & Dunlap, said “These classic Archie comics have developed a new life and relevance in the 21st century. Never did we think that Archie would get married or that a gay character would enter his world. To be a publisher of Archie is to be a publisher of smart, relevant and exciting material. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to create books that appeal to tweens and teens, as well as die-hards and collectors.”

“We at Archie Comics are very excited to be expanding Archie’s presence among young readers through new mediums with Grosset & Dunlap as a part of Penguin Young Readers Group,” said Jon Goldwater, Co-CEO of Archie Comics.

Archie Comics sells millions of comic books and graphic novels annually, distributed worldwide. The company has recently expanded with enormous success to include their “Archie Comics App,” one of the top comic reader apps available on iTunes today. In August 2010 Archie Comics also released “Life with Archie,” a brand new full-sized magazine following Archie’s married lives to Betty and Veronica, which has continued to receive overflowing praise and acclaim since its debut.
