Each week we take a look at the other Best Stuff you might have missed in comics...this week.
There may be some teeny tiny spoilers below.
MIGHTY THOR #2
Best Juxtaposition of Fathers
In the panel below, Jane Foster is talking about the sacrifices her father made. At the same time, Loki's very different conversation with his father serves as a stark juxtaposition to Jane's narrative.
JUSTICE LEAGUE #46
Best Kiss
Since DC Comics rebooted their comic universe back in 2011, some characters haven't been seen too much. Mister Miracle and Big Barda are two of the New Gods that readers have wanted to see more of. Their few appearances have left readers hungry for more. Their reunion during the Darkseid War arc was pretty glorious.
Best Reason Not to Make a Move On Superman’s Girlfriend
Superman and Wonder Woman have been dating for a little while now. Steve Trevor is still in love with her. While it looked like they were alone, Trevor confesses his feelings to Wonder Woman just as Superman, recently transformed into a New God, comes up along behind them.
ILLUMINATI #2
Most Comfortable Way to Work
Some villains have been gathered to form a new team. As Titania is shown around, they check out Mad Thinker's lab. Unfortunately he prefers to work in just his underwear.
Best Reason to be Aware of What You’re Drinking
While at a private club (where villains can hang out), the Hood arranged it so their target drank Black Ant. If he doesn't give them the information they want, Black Ant will make a rather messy exit out of his body. Spoiler: he exits that way even after they get the information.
BATMAN AND ROBIN ETERNAL #11
Best Reason Not to Have a Distinct Hairstyle if You’re a Superhero
Harper Row has a rather unique hairstyle. When dressed as Bluebird, she basically just has a little mask covering her face. She really shouldn't be surprised when someone figured out who she was. After the introduction, we see a pretty fascinating mind meld take place.
WEIRDWORLD #1
Best Transportation for a Wizardslayer
High schooler Becca Rodriguez has found herself in Weirdworld. She comes across a wizard-slaying giantess, Goleta, and discovers her sweet set of wheels.
SECRET SIX #9
Best Revelation About Aquaman We All Suspected
Aquaman has long been the butt of many jokes. He has become cooler in recent years but there's still one thing many have wondered--what does Aquaman smell like? It turns out what we suspected was true.
DARTH VADER ANNUAL #1
Best Reason Not to Ask Darth Vader to Dance
Darth Vader is on a mission on another world. When he arrives, one of the traditions proclaimed by the king is that everyone dances during the big ceremony. He insists Vader does as well. How do you think it's going to go?
ALL-NEW X-MEN #2
Best Thing Scarier Than Wolverine
Since Wolverine died, X-23, his female clone, took on his mantle to become the new Wolverine. While trying to get some answers from some mutant terrorist, she's set on fire. This is fine for her but her boyfriend, Angel, decided to grab her and drop her in a fountain. She wasn't too pleased with this.
I HATE FAIRYLAND #3
Best Reason You Shouldn't Sing Around Others
Gertrude is a little girl that ventured to Fairyland. She's searching for a key to return home. She's been looking for almost thirty years. That means she's an adult in a child's body and not too happy about it. She just finished killing a town full of zombies and decided it was the perfect time to sing.
SQUADRON SUPREME #1
Best Insult to Injury Moment
As we saw, Namor has been killed by the Squadron Supreme for his recent actions. Even after he's decapitated, that's not enough of a punishment as his head gets kicked around like a ball.
SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN #2
Best Reason Not to Use X-ray Vision on Others
Everyone figures if they had x-ray vision, there'd be a big temptation to check out others with it. The fact that Superman doesn't use it must be because he's such a goody-goody. In this story set in his younger days, we discover the real reason he doesn't check everyone out.
ULTIMATE END #5
Best Gathering of Heroes From Two Different Realities
During the events of Secret Wars, all the different realities except for the main Marvel Universe and the Ultimate Universe were left. We see the heroes from these two realities go off together to try to save the day one last time.
PINOCCHIO, VAMPIRE SLAYER VERSUS THE VAMPIRE ZOO #1
Best Reason to Tell a Lie
Imagine if Pinocchio's father, Gepetto, was killed by vampires. When this happened, Pinocchio was crushed and vowed to kill vampires as a vampire slayer. All he has to do is tell a lie and he has an instant stake to use on them.
DEADPOOL #3.1
Best Homemade Costume
In this all-Spanish issue, we see the vigilante in Mexico that was inspired by Deadpool. He even made his own costume and calls himself Massacre.
Most Unexpected Thing to Hear During a Fight
When Deadpool's in a fight, you can expect all sorts of wacky things to come out of his mouth. When we see someone else fighting, even if they're inspired by Deadpool, it's still unexpected to see this said, especially in comic written in Spanish.
WE ARE ROBIN #7
Best Trait Needed to Be a Robin
Why would anyone want to be Robin? It's probably cool to be able to hang out with Batman but the fact you're wearing a brightly colored costume might make you question things. Unless you're a little crazy.
UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL #3
Best Way For a Supervillain to Avoid Getting Killed by a Deadly Vigilante
I've often wondered why supervillains wear costumes. It's like putting a target on your back for superheroes or vigilantes to come after you. The best way to avoid this is to simply claim you're a Cosplayer.
Best Wikipedia Advice for the Fantastic Four
We won't go into the specifics but this issue dealt with some time travel and being able to access an offline version of Wikipedia that still managed to update after changes were made to the timeline. What's worth noting is the advice about keeping the Fantastic Four out of cinemas.
