  • 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???

New from Chicago

Just starting reading Archie after a 25 year break, yes that would be 1983.

My son asked to go to the comic book store.  While he browsed the DC section, I looked at the kids comics and rediscovered Archie.  Now I have a pull list at the comic book store and have all the comics (not digests) waiting for me.  And the addiction begins...........

Welcome indeed!  That is how it starts.

You're going to find that things have changed since 1983 - quite a lot.  Personally, I'm very fond of the new generation of titles.

The artists will "mostly" be new to you.  The stories are different.  I wouldn't count out the Digests either.  However, we'll see how your addiction to the regular titles go :)

Welcome to the forums - it's fuel for the fire!

(and if you saved all your old Archie's from the early 1980's - look for Betty and Veronica #320 and Jughead #325 - they are the first appearance of Cheryl Blossom and worth far more than the Price Guide lists them at)

haha!  Yes indeedy - these are very hard to find comics.  The B&V 320 is the one everyone is looking for, but the Jughead 325 is the very same month, has a great story, and is one to get as well!
Fixed. :)

Very nice to meet you!

I'm actually from Ontario, Canada, which is quite far from Chicago!  But, Chicago is a place I do want to visit if for no other reason than having deep dish pizza!

Nice to see you found your way back to Archie!  I've been a non-stop fan since 1987. :)
