  • 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: Would the survey results differ if "civil union" was used in place of "marriage"?

  • 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???

I'm new to ARCHIE and...
« on: July 24, 2009, 12:03:14 AM »
ARCHIE COMICS ROCK!!!

I'm 46 years old. I started reading Batman before I was 10. I became a "Marvel Zombie" during the early seventies. Turned to original comic book art in the 90's and...

In 2009, I read my first Archie comic book.

WOW! Have I been missing out or what????

Needless to say, I'm very impressed. Much like my favorite TV show "Leave It To Beaver", I find there is a wholesomeness to the Archie Universe that is very refreshing.

I only wish I had visited Riverdale years ago.

Welcome!

The best thing about Archie is, now that you've found it, you've got nearly 70 years' worth of stories to read!  You'll basically never run out of it!  :)

Welcome! :)
Archie comics can be addictive, but fun! I'm big on 60s & 70s Archie stuff myself. Have fun digging through the history. :)

...I will be a little bit of the serpent/tempter/doubter here and point out that , though its always been a wholesome land , Archie up through , oohh , maybe the late 60s had rather more " spice " by to-day's standards...And , I am sure that other " oldsters " will back you up on that !

Welcome!  There are all types of fans here (including a few "zombies" and "nation" folks).

Archie is a fantastic place to be and you'll get great pleasure out of discovering this world.  If you like digital comics - try the new digital comic shop and read some old issues.  Also, check out the Archie webpage for back-issues and digital DVD sets!

Sekots, I got here just about the same way you did.  (Although even in my most Marvel Zombieish phase, I'd still pick up anything with Joise and the Pussycats on the cover.)

It's hard to exactly define the appeal of Archie, but it's there for young and old.

I second what Frank said.  The digital comic shop may be a good fit for you, if just want to read lots of Archie and don't care about physically owning the issues.  The DVD archives are a real treasury.  I'd highly recommend them.
