  • 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 :)
    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???

Exactly.  It's his trademark.

Besides, you all have to admit that Dan Parent has the most unusual ideas for covers that always seem to work beautifully.  I don't know if I have it scanned yet, but I think he did the cover art for Archie's Story and Game #31, which had Betty and Veronica playing Tic-Tac-Toe on Archie's head (you know, the checkerboard pattern).  I know the joke's been done a couple of times since then, but unless I'm mistaken, Dan did it first with that cover.

Yes.  I was correct.  Here's the cover I talked about earlier.

Archie's Story and Game Digest #31, September 1994

I wouldn't consider that to be something positive.

Bleh. I've seen that cover. I don't like it, particularly since the checkerboard pattern itself is stupid.

I read them, but I agree that his art isn't very good.
