  • 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???

It's interesting to see that the Archie titles held their own in sales against their superhero counterparts.

1969 was the year the the Archie show was big on Saturday morning tv and they also had the hit single "sugar sugar."  I thought that would be the explanation for higher Archie sales in 1969 vs 1970 but it appears that almost all comics showed a drop off into 1970.

That probably has been happening every year since then as well.

  Yes , I imagine the CBS series helped propel the Archie titles , especially the " main " one  :laugh:!
  Marvel and DC titles were both having their TV exposure go under then , incidentally - check out the collapse in BATMAN , specifically , 's sales ! :( :crazy2: Yowwtch !!! The Adam West series went off prime time TV in 1968 and didn't go into syndication for a couple of years , IIRC .
( SUPERBOY does even proportionately worse , and , all of DC's hero titles , in fact :o...)
