	Balder - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Balder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		He was one of the Aesir (principal gods), but was killed unwittingly with a twig of mistletoe shot by Hodur, his blind brother; the tragedy was engineered by the god-giant Loki.
		However, it was believed that after Ragnarök, the final battle between the gods and forces of evil, Balder would return as part of a renewed order, along with Hoenir another of the Aesir.
		Mistelteinn, a magic sword, may have caused Balder's death in original versions of the Norse sagas; the mistletoe plant is unknown in Iceland.

	Comics
		The comic strip medium was over 100 years old when PartiallyClips began, and most of the humor had long been mined out of it.
		After a brief stint at DC Comics he landed his big break with what would probably be the title he is most identified with, Iron Man. As part of their Heroes Return relaunch, Sean, along with writer Kurt Busiek began a memorable 3 year run beginning with issue #1 Vol.
		Comic book writing career spanning fifteen years, having produced hundreds of issues of various titles...including a run of over one hundred issues on Marvel's The Incredible Hulk.

		Also, Rob Balder will be sharing a booth with Tarol Hunt in the Exhibitor Hall, where they will have a variety of merchandise from their respective comics as well as a nice pile of OOTS books that I've sent along.
		Removing the official schedule probably won’t affect the comic’s frequency much, but it will remove the additional stress when I’m unable to meet the three-times-a-week deadline (and removing stress is a good thing, according to my doctor).
		Well, Phil is now posting some of those comics at philanddixie.com, so if you have any interest in gazing back to yesteryear to see one of the influences that helped shape OOTS, you can do so now for free.

		Balder pulls his hand from the android's torso, and with a swift, well practiced swing, cleanly severs the android's head from its body.
		Balder smiles at the feeble attempt, but the smile fades as a hex spell turns the wood into mistletoe, and it embeds itself into his chest.
		Balder feels the air ripple a moment before a blast of energy hits him in the back, pushing him forward a few steps.

	Norse Mythology in Comic Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		True to his mythological foundation, the comic book Thor was not what one might consider a "quick study." The Son of Odin, though overflowing with bravery and determination, lacked the intelligence and wit to save himself from dastardly plans in both the myths and in the comics.
		Throughout the history of this comic character, Odin has had a reputation as being a hard deity to please; the dual nature of his personality (his opportunities to be both fatherly and a harsh disciplinarian) is as prominent in modern appearances as it was in the Norse myths.
		Balder's role is supported by Marvel's adaptation of the actual myth; Balder the Brave is very much unafraid of combat, because his mother Frigga has already acquired the promise of all things not to harm her son, save for the mistletoe.

	Cinescape - Home - Editorial
		The young Thor and his friends Sif and Balder have been given a mission by Odin himself to collect the materials needed for a new enchanted weapon.
		One would expect a teenaged Thunder God to have more of a temper, not less, but Thor is more disappointed than outraged at his inability to lift Mjolnir, and his attitude towards Loki, both before and after the spider attack, is almost ridiculously calm.
		Balder comes off far worse - he's more a cipher than a character - and Sif is just the latest in a long line of feminist female warriors with sharp tongues, with nothing else to truly distinguish her.

		Creators of comics with mass appeal take a lot of unfair flack for the collective behavior (or misbehavior) of their readers.
		Until and unless your comic reaches a level at which mass appeal is a factor, then appeal is going to be the driving force of your readership growth.
		But it is the appeal of your comic which will ultimately form the curve of your readership growth.

		Now Thor, Balder the Brave, Skurge, and an army of mounted Asgardian warriors armed with swords and M-16s have to bust out of Hel - but it's not going to be easy.
		That FF issue is one of the strongest comics Byrne ever produced; the final page revelation- the way it's just a single panel surrounded by a fl border, is incredible.

	Printer Friendly: Thor #45 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		The book opens with a Balder the Brave led expedition, that is making their way across a body of water that is filled with sea monsters that are all too eager to drag their boat under.
		While the crew does battle with a creature, we see one member of the group begins to question the logic behind this mission, and even goes as far to suggest that Thor is recklessly endangering his subjects.
		A rather odd issue in that it does have numerous elements that I rather enjoyed, from the fairly exciting quest that Balder & his men are sent on, to the scenes where we see Thor playing the role of leader, and the doubts that we hear voiced by some of his subjects.

		She starts off the comic with orange hair and a daring "Rio style" barbarian bikini, but soon she has dark red hair and grey men's underwear.
		I'll grant you that this comic is easily bad enough for two posts, but try not to get too caught up in the whole 'decompression' fad.
		On the other hand, this comic should be admired by those who think comics adhere too slavishly to continutity.

		Loki tricked Balder's blind twin brother, Hod, into shooting a mistletoe fig (guided by Loki's aim), and Balder fell dead, pierced through the heart.

	The Squinted Truth
		This can take the form of a comic's position on a voting list, for example, or the size of the payments it receives within the Keenspot/Keenspace caste system (see "Keenspot/Keenspace, Cyber-feudalism, Cyber-caste or Cyber-fraternity?" [R. Balder 2004]), or simply how many high-status group members its creator is associated with.
		Due to strokes of good fortune and many fifths of Bombay Sapphire, I was able to gain the good graces of such leading Webcomics lights as Jon Rosenberg of the celebratory hedo-centric romp "Goats," and Pete Abrams of the exhausting nega-topian epic "Sluggy Freelance." The visibility and status of PartiallyClips within the community therefore rose.
		The problem with such leaps to aggrandize an unknown figure is, of course, the inevitable disappointment when the inadequacies of the worshipped individual reveal themselves.

		Does it really matter that these Vikings were targeting innocent victims, as if not for the gods of Asgard praising their fighting prowess & encouraging their barbaric behavior one would think that these Vikings wouldn't have been out on their rampage in the first place.
