  • 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.

  • 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???

The Ages of Archie Comics History
« on: June 08, 2011, 08:25:26 PM »
As you know, the various Ages of Comics are dictated mostly by the superhero world. But, this doesn't line up well with Archie. So, I am attempting to define the Ages of Archie using various events in Archie history, roughly lining them up with the Ages of Superhero Comics, as follows:

Golden Age of Archie: When the company was known as MLJ
Atomic Age of Archie: When the company was known as Archie but the comics didn't have the Comics Code Authority seal
Silver Age of Archie: From the introduction of the Comics Code Authority seal to the last Archies album (for a long time) This Is Love
Bronze Age of Archie: When the company was public
Copper Age of Archie: From the introduction of the double digest format to the Love Showdown
Chrome Age of Archie: From Sonic the Hedgehog #1/4 to Archie #600
Modern Age of Archie: From the introduction of the Life With Archie magazine to today

Yes, there's quite a bit of overlap right now, and yes, I realize few collectors use "Copper Age" and fewer still use "Chrome Age", but Archie history demands it.
