  • 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: 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.

    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.

I seriously doubt Michael Uslan is sticking it to any "Shippers" whatsoever- he's pretty much just making his own ground. I mean, who saw Jughead/Midge coming? Jug/Betty was always the largest "Pairing" going around, and that got totally ignored, even when the set-up was PERFECT in the "Archie Marries Veronica" section. I'm a Jug/Betty shipper, but was I bitter? Not really- I was a bit disappointed maybe, but life goes on, y'know?

Trust me in that "Shipping" characters obsessively only leads one to ruin.

Yah I don't think Michel mean to hurt any ones feelings. But the anti-Beggie jokes were unesscary and even if you look at as somone who not into the pairng they were not really that funny. They did nothing for the story what so ever. I can deal with Betty/Reggie being ingroed it's the fact that it keeps  on getting treated as the weird and loser thing that Archie comics keeps on poking stick at for shock Value and thinking eryenone is happy when ASrchie comics kicks it around. I sitll feel toatlly mugged from Betty#178 I don't need to kicked around or Donkey on the sticked form LWA. I just wished he had't brought it up there was no point to it.

I'm pretty sure Marmaduke was mentioned in a comic somewhere (likely around when Moose was first introduced), but I'm not sure where the Merton name came from. Some sources are also saying that Moose's last name was Mcgee at one point, but I've never seen him referred to by that name.
I think I had heard Marmaduke before as well but don't recall when.  My problem is I've been reading Archie's too long.  The writers have ocassionally used a different name for the secondary characters but unless you've noted where, it can be really difficult locating the story.  Especially since the digests might correct the usage.

I finally remembered to check Jughead #1.  It is noted in the Overstreet price guide as the first appearance of Moose.  The very first panel, he is referred to as Moose McGee so that at least was his original last name.

It's great - third issuenthis week.

The only thing I dislike is that Mr. Lodge is mean - really mean.  I always saw the character as having a bit of a front, but a deeply generous heart.

I really want to know what the trigger was that made him this way.

Perhaps in the wake of the Wall Street meltdown and the recession, it seemed natural for Riverdale's most prominent businessman to become its most evil character?

I have to say - I really don't like it.  Making him evil seems an odd choice and it makes other characterizations of his character being frustrated by Archie less humourous.  The "back of the head" knowledge thatbhe is truly evil makes his outbursts in other titles seem meaner as well.

All the more reason why I would like to know what drives him over the edge.

I do have a theory though...and I'm gonna warn you this will have spoilers in my explanation for those who haven't read it...

But since the Married Life series is kind of like a soap operra format...I wonder if Mr. Lodge has some sort of brain tumour that's making him act uncharacteristically evil?

On the official site, they did previews for the Life With Archie series right up to issue #6, which comes out in early 2011, and in the Betty story, someone actually dies.

In all likelihood, the person who dies is Ms. Grundy, because of her illness...but wouldn't it be something if Mr. Lodge ended up with the toe tag?

...In #2 , Archie is continuing with these " extremely NON-prominent credits " I complained about before   ! :knuppel2:  :2funny:
  Uslan is no longer credited as the writer , but receives a " Created By " , or similar ???...
  Oh , BTW , I guess this " isn't really spoiling " ::) , since it's well-established that Mr. Lodge , um - " acts not very nice " in BOTH stories/continuities :'(...
  In the Veronica one , he's sort of acting sh*tt* , in trying to take ver Pop Tate's and much of Riverdale , but , frankly , that tends to be seen as " good business parctice " in most quarters nowadays :o...As for " leaving Archie out of the loop " , is that " going against proper business rules " or " if the boss wants it , it's okay " ? ( Sounds like Nixon/Cheney :( :knuppel2:...)
  Meanwhile , IIRC , he appears to be going over the line into literally illegal activities in the Betty continuity , as well as the " exteremely , morally , questionable " divorce-Betty offer he made to out red-headed boy :o...

Michael Uslan wrote the comic book content in Life With Archie 1, and subsequent issues are written by Paul Kupperberg.  The line in the credits that reads "Based on the Wedding Series originated by Michael Uslan" refers to the fact that the story is based on the whole "Archie Marries ..." arc that Uslan wrote.

Count me in as one who wants to know what the hell is up with Mr. Lodge. The way he's being portrayed as a jerkass villain in BOTH universes is disturbing and almost OOC. Something has to have happened to make him act this way. At first I thought Ms. Lodge may have passed away during the time skip, but then I remembered "Nah, she was there when the twins were born, that can't be it".

I'm starting to warm up to Jughead/Midge. The way it's slowly building up is fitting and well written. Good, because that was a serious WTF when it was revealed in the original trilogy out of nowhere.

Well, the preview for #3 in #2 says Archie will find out that Mr. Lodge has been keeping things from him in "Dear Dilton". Maybe Dilton has informed Mr. Lodge of his time/dimensional/whatever-travel, and Mr. Lodge is fully aware of the other reality in which Archie marries Veronica (and vice-versa).

You know, I don't know how, but my Dad seemed to agree with the way with Mr. Lodge acted. He doesn't act like him himself, though, but he likes this series for being a little more realistic. In my opinion, they should tone down Mr. Lodge a bit. He was never this ruthless.

And actually Jughead/Midge wasn't too big of a surprise to me. If you think about it, besides Betty, Midge seems to be the other girl Jughead can open up to with no problem as long as Moose isn't jealous about it...

Didn't they already do an Archie story in the 1970's where they built a robotic Mr. Lodge that replaced the real Mr. Lodge?
