The Best Stuff In Comics: 3-9-15

This is where we present to you, the other best stuff besides the best covers, best story arcs, and best bag of peanuts.

This used to be a VIDEO FEATURE for over one hundred episodes. We've changed the format to a text version as most seem to prefer it this way. And don't forget to take the poll at the end.

Each week we take a look at the other Best Stuff you might have missed...this week.

GUARDIANS TEAM-UP #1

Best Reason for Spider-Woman to Change her Costume

We know in this week's SPIDER-WOMAN #5, Jessica Drew finally got a new costume. While many haven't fully made a decision on the change and may even resist the change out of nostalgia, there's one aspect of the design of her old costume that makes a good argument for the change.

BATMAN ETERNAL #48

Best I.O.U.

Batman's had it rough lately. He's lost a bunch of his weapons and gadgets. It seems the few he had left kept getting trashed throughout this series. Needing to get to a certain location, he borrows some transportation. Because Batman is a pretty honest fellow, he does leave a pretty obvious I.O.U. promising to pay back what he's taken.

Best Reason Not to Wear a Cape

Anyone that's seen The Incredibles already knows this. Stephanie Brown should have known this. Yes, capes are cool looking but this has to be embarrassing when her evil dad, Cluemaster, grabs her out of a building by the cape with a grappling hook.

ANGELA: ASGARDS ASSASSIN #4

Best Description of Rocket Raccoon

We often see little descriptions of characters under their names when they're first seen in a comic. When Rocket Raccoon appears, we get a humorous bit acknowledging the success Skottie Young is currently having in the ROCKET RACCOON series.

Worst Pun of the Week

This was just bad. Really bad. But at least Kieron Gillen admitted he knew how bad it was on his Twitter.

GRAYSON #8

Best Nicknames This Week

With Dick Grayson part of Spyral and spending time at St. Hadrian's Finishing School For Girls, which is a school for training young women to become assassins, the young ladies can't help but admire certain qualities of Grayson.

Best Summary of How to Take Down the Justice League

How do you fight someone or something that has the skills of the Justice League programmed into it? If you're Dick Grayson, you rely on your training with Batman and experience fighting alongside the team to point out the weaknesses.

OPERATION S.I.N. #3

Best Indiana Jones Hat Rescue

There's nothing like finding the right hat. Once you've broken it in, the last thing you'd want to do is try to replace it. Howard Stark knows this. Despite having a bunch of money, he goes back after his hat in a way that would make Indiana Jones proud.

HARLEY QUINN #15

Best Reason Not to Drink Too Much Wine

We all know Harley and Poison Ivy are close friends. Harley's had a rough day and even saved a bunch of people in a burning building. With her full schedule and various jobs, she recently blew a date with a guy she really liked. After a little too much wine, Harley starts getting a little silly.

RETURN OF THE LIVING DEADPOOL #2

Best Things For Deadpool to Collect

What goes on in Deadpool's mind? Actually, we probably don't really want to know it all. But because he's constantly chattering on about something, he names off an interesting list of things to collect.

IMPERIUM #2

Best Way to Describe a Deal and Offer a Pretty Big Insult at the Same Time

Not only can you accomplish these two things, you also can take care of having to relieve yourself at the same time.

SPIDER-WOMAN #5

Best Sonic the Hedgehog Reference

Spider-Woman was chasing after Porcupine and makes a remark about his speed as he tried to get away. I suppose she does know the difference between a porcupine and a hedgehog. She was likely just giving the guy a hard time.

PRINCESS LEIA #1

Best Moment of Silence

Picking up right after the events of Episode IV, we see while there is a big celebration going on, time is still taken to honor those on Alderaan who lost their lives.

Best “I know” Moment

It's likely everyone is familiar with the "I know" moment in The Empire Strikes Back between Han and Leia. According to this issue, Han wasn't the first to say it.

Best “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” Moment

If you've seen the Star Wars movies, you might have seen their language appear from time to time. While it obviously looks alien to us, there is a way to translate it, doing a simple search online will show you how to translate it. You can type in Aurebesh to see how Basic can be translated (or just click HERE). Using that translator, you can see what Artoo's response was to Leia's question.
