Every week, we take a look at some of the most bizarre, exciting, and downright unique things to happen in comics. Check out our choices of the strange and wacky things that shouldn't be overlooked from this week's releases.

There may be some tiny spoilers ahead.

The Dark and Bloody #4

Best Nightmare-Inducing Imagery

No Caption Provided

When someone you know turns into a giant, murderous crow, with the intentions of tearing you apart, you're going to have nightmares for the rest of your life.

The Dark and Bloody #4

Most Intense Scene

No Caption Provided

Following that frightening moment, readers are treated to two pages of some intense moments as the human-crow beast attacks. Apparently, a shotgun is still the easiest way to deal with crow people.

Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #6

Best Scene We Acted Out With Our Toys as Kids

No Caption Provided

As a child, you probably played with all of your toys, no matter what company the licenses came from. This week, Batman and Shredder had one epic battle, which was a moment stripped right from when we were kids.

Starfire #12

Best Time to Quit Drinking

No Caption Provided

If you're ever wondering when you should call it a night after drinking, just look into the sky. If you see an orange woman riding a flying dolphin, it's time to go to bed.

Vision #7

Best Joke

No Caption Provided

The Vision tries to connect with his ex-wife, Scarlet Witch, in bed by telling a joke, with an incredibly dry delivery. It's still a solid joke though.

Gwenpool #2

Best Way to Get a Hero's Attention

No Caption Provided

If you see Thor in the sky, lots of people are going to be yelling "Thor" to get her attention. However, if you want to make sure she'll turn around, call her by her birth-name.

Earth 2: Society #12

Best Surprise Return

No Caption Provided

There was a huge surprise at the end of Earth 2 this week. One of the oldest supervillains at DC comics, Ultra-Humanite, made his return.

Web Warriors #7

Best Mixture of a '90s Character and an Animal

No Caption Provided

Doctor Doom is pretty cool. Doom 2099 is pretty cool as well. What if you took the concept of Doom 2099 and made him a duck? Well, you'd get Ducktor Doom 2099. It's ridiculous and wonderful all at the same time.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #3

Best Power Rangers Replacement

No Caption Provided

If there's a Putty loose in town, and the Power Rangers aren't available, who are you going to call? Well, Bulk and Skull got all dressed up to try and help some people that needed to be saved from a Putty.

Kennel Block Blues #4

Best Song and Dance Number During a Prison Escape

No Caption Provided

Trying to escape from prison can be intense and nerve-wracking. The easiest way to get back on all that stress is to turn it into a giant musical number.

All-New, All-Different Avengers #9

Best Stern Talking To

No Caption Provided

After a new Wasp meets the Avengers, Jarvis gets pretty upset and gives her a quick history lesson about who Janet Van Dyne was.

Deadpool #11

Best and Weirdest Getaway

No Caption Provided

Deadpool has always been a weird character, but the end of last week's issue was super-weird, as Deadpool found himself on a horse, running from Mounties.

Silk #8

Best Almost Escape

No Caption Provided

Spider-Gwen may have an amazing amount of agility, but she's not perfect. She almost makes an escape in issue #8 of Silk, but gets shocked at the end.
