Just reviewed a Stormwatch spin-off on my 90's comic review blog, and while I liked Brett Booth's art in the issue, this image really cracked me up: (From Backlash #1 by Brett Booth) Don't even try to hide your sources, 90's Image! Full review is here: http://thepouchfiles.blogspot.com/2014/07/review-backlash-1.html

That reminds me of Patton Oswalt's bit about how drug and alcohol addictions are cool and scary and dangerous, and overeating is just incredibly lame, despite being pretty harmful.

Well until we get a bunch of cool rock stars and leading actors biting it because of gluttony that's probably always gonna be the case. The closest we have is Mama Cass choking on a ham sandwich and even that is just a misconception.

His expression of anguish/pain certainly doesn't hurt with that interpretation but I prefer to think it's because someone in the previous panel just annihilated a bunch of donuts and this is Tony's distraught revenge line.

Kwyndig posted:Part of that is because they never break character in public, as far as the puppeteer is concerned, the puppet character is who they are when they're on the job. I read an interesting account of an interview once where they had to explain to the Count (in language a Sesame Street character would respond to) that the interview was going to start late because of technical problems. This is my favorite little bit on it, I think: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqoxzj_quentin-talks-muppets_news Dick Trauma posted:My mind can't parse this image.

There's a couple others but the overeaters tend to be alcoholics and drug abusers too so it's kind of a race to see what kills them first.

Everyone in comics who can fly just loves zig-zagging around instead of taking the direct path. I'd be grumpy too.

I think that's the formal explanation but given how stupid that idea is (why would only she be picked up by wind, even localized wind?) almost everyone just writes/draws it as generic flight.

That's just the Marvel Science explanation of why she can fly. Like how Thor flies by not letting go when he throws Mjolnir.

Has anyone ever followed that line of thinking in a fight? Like, Thor swings his hammer at a guy, misses, then goes flying off into the horizon because of the momentum?

Pretty sure he can just straight up fly as long as he's holding the hammer.

Believe that's a distinction between 616/Ultimate. One he can fly, one he holds Mjolnir.

There was one story where the Avengers fight the Squadron Supreme; Thor throws his hammer at Hyperion, and Dr Spectrum traps it in one of his solid light constructs, so Thor can't fly and Hyperion immediately has the advantage.

The explanation from WAY back in Ye Olden Days (the '60s) is that he throws the hammer, but immediately grabs the strap at the end and rides it through the air. He can control its direction while he does so because Mjolnir is of course  enchanted.

Okay, so about 20 years ago there was a Simpsons comics crossover where everyone in Springfield except Bart gets superpowers when the nuclear plant explodes (I especially liked Troy McClure as the Sequelizer, who can create an infinite number of copies of himself, but each is only half as powerful as the one before it) and Bartman has to team up with Radioactive Man to stop them. Unfortunately I don't have a scan, but there's this great scene where Smithers has become "the Mighty Smiter" ("By the buns of Burns! I am surrounded by the renegade Fission Division!"), who wields "Kjolnir! Key to the Executive Washroom!" and says stuff like, "There is only one thing I can do, even though it breaks all the laws of physics! I must hurl Kjolnir skyward, neglecting to let go, thus achieving flight!"

Jessica Drew can pretty much just straight up fly now right? And she used to only be able to "glide".

I remember the story about how she could now fly being a plot point of New Avengers, but was that really her? Content: Thor is foiled by orbits after throwing his hammer through a force field. He then heroically hides under a tarp.  Source: Avengers #122
