  • 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

  • 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 :)

  • 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???

Article On ARCHIE Spire Comics
« on: August 26, 2009, 04:29:12 PM »
Here's a link to a blog entry on the Spire ARCHIE done by Al Hartley as well as other Christian comics published by the company.  Some nice scans of Al's work, tho the article is somewhat dismissive of the genre.

Just CAN'T believe it! :o

Drugs were ACTUALLY featured in an Archie comic and it's also a bit weird seeing the characters being so religious, too!

Thanks for the link to that very informative article.  (I totally never made the connection between Al Hartley and Taft-Hartley!)

I agree that there's a creepy quality to the Archie Spires, because of the way the characters' personalities seem hijacked or falsified in order to promote the Christian message.  But as I've said elsewhere, I appreciate the Spires for what they are.  It's just too easy to be cynical about them and make fun of them, as this commentator does yet again.

...I have noted that that" Firty Years Of Archie "/-type official history of Archie plays suprisingly little attention to the Spires , I wonder if later-years management at Archie doesn't really want to draw a lot of attention to them nowadays...
