  • 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 :)

  • 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???

My Ebay Archie Story
« on: August 11, 2010, 06:11:36 PM »
My first memory of Archie comics comes from when a cartoonist visited my sister's class and handed out comic books to her class and my sister received a Jughead "Joust For Fun" Digest and a Sabrina digest. I read one and loved it.  :smitten:
  This year I was asked what I would like for my birthday. That was when the memory of that digest flashed in to my mind. Thus began my Archie comic collecting career. :)
   Four months and countless searches of Ebay later, I now have a rather large collection of 114 vintage digests and double digests and have hooked my sister. Me and my sister are the third generation of Archie Comics lovers in our family.  My grandparents read them as did my parents and aunt.
     Thus concludes my Archie story.  :)

Welcome to the site!

eBay is a great place to get older comics, especially the digests. I've gotten some great deals there (the best being a huge lot of 100+ Archie comics and digests for around $20 plus shipping).

Thanks! :) First I got a lot of 21 for $19 for my birthday, then a lot of 8 for $1.75, then a lot of 25 for $32, and then a lot of 53 for $50. But I split the cost for the lot of 53 w/ my sister.
