  • 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: 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???

I'm a newb
« on: August 09, 2008, 09:43:45 PM »
Hey guys, new here  :)

I found this board looking for Fernando Ruiz info. I wanted to send him an email to let him know how much I enjoyed his work and after searching and not finding anything, I see that he posts on this board!

As for me, well, I'm a webcomic artist with a few projects under my belt (http://www.giselelagace.com.) My style is often compared to the Archie style but with a touch of manga/anime. I guess that's fair to say since I've grabbed elements from both ;)

I see there are threads in this forum that match the artists' name to the art. Looking forward to checking that out since the old stories aren't credited in the digests (which is what I normally look at) and I'd love to know the name of some of them.

So again, hello!

Thanks, archiecomicsfan27! Yes, I did draw my avatar :)
BTW, under yours, it should say "Je suis très fin!" or even better "Je suis très gentil!" which is more accurate if what you meant to say was "I am real nice." Right now, it says "I am the hungry!". If it was Jughead, he could say "J'ai très faim!" (I am hungry). Figured I'd mention it since I'm French/Canadian ;)

Hi Gigi!  Welcome to the forums.

As for my French skills...I'd probably know enough to get by if ever I was abandoned in Montreal...but I am by no means fluent. ;)

Okay, after having checked out your site, back when there was talk about the "new look" of Betty and Veronica, someone (I wish I could remember who and were) linked to your page and your comic featuring Josie & the Pussycats! You really did a wonderful job with the characters. :)

Thank you for the kind words, Jeff1555, AyaBlue and archiecomicsfan27 :)
And yes, AyaBlue, I did do samples 2 years ago for Josie. With 2 more years now under my belt, I think they would look different if done today :)

Regardless of how long ago they were done, I still think they look great and would be an interesting addition to Archie comics.
