The Best Stuff In Comics: 10-19-15

This is where we present to you, the other best stuff besides the best covers, best story arcs, and best waffle iron.

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

There may be some teeny tiny spoilers below.

DEADPOOL VS THANOS #3

Best Description of the Air in Hell

Deadpool and Thanos take a little trip south. They need to talk to Mephisto and take a journey to his hell realm. What's it like down there?

No Caption Provided

Best Reason You Might Not Want to go to Hell, Especially if You Killed A Lot of Enemies

There's probably a few people that don't like Deadpool or Thanos. Imagine all the people they've killed and sentenced to endless torment now getting the chance to face them again.

No Caption Provided

BATMAN #45

Best Use of Surroundings During a Fight

Jim Gordon got in a little over his head during his latest mission as Batman. Luckily the robo-batsuit can be operated via remote control and offers some assistance including using some sharks that were just busted out of a big tank.

Best Use of Scary Batman Trophies Left Nearby a Children's Center

During Endgame, Joker got a hold of Batman's trophies from the Batcave. With the way things ended, they were sort of just left lying around. Bruce Wayne decides to do something they don't serve as a reminder to the children of how horrific life can be in Gotham.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: SAM WILSON #1

Best Reason for a Superhero Not to Fly Coach

Sometimes being a superhero can be tough. Even as an Avenger, Sam Wilson may not always have access to a quinjet or other fancy plane. Sometimes a hero just has to fly coach in order to get to where they're needed to help the innocent. But when you have big things to carry on, such as Captain America's shield, flying coach may be a little difficult.

BATMAN AND ROBIN ETERNAL #2

Best Description of Dick Grayson

Stephanie Brown gets her first glimpse of Dick Grayson. She probably says what most people are thinking, right?

No Caption Provided

Best Idea for a Cereal Box Giveaway

You can imagine becoming a superhero can't be easy. One of the big obstacles would be getting a cool costume. Dick Grayson has an idea but it might be a little difficult to actually make happen.

No Caption Provided

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #1

Best Question About the Infinity Gauntlet

As the Guardians are trying to figure out what might be hidden in an object they just liberated, Ben Grimm comes up with a good question about the Infinity Gauntlet.

No Caption Provided

Best Reason Being the Ruler of a Planet Might Not be a Good Thing

Meanwhile, Star-Lord Peter Quill has to rule over Spartax after his father was revealed to be kind of evil. You would think it'd have it's perks but sometimes things can get a little awkward and uncomfortable.

No Caption Provided

BATMAN/SUPERMAN #25

Best Reason Not to Incinerate a Henchman

For a guy that's lived for centuries, Vandal Savage isn't the most patient person around. Besides the fact that it's just not nice to incinerate a henchman, Savage learns another reason why he might want to rethink doing it again.

No Caption Provided

CHEWBACCA #1

Best Look at a Relaxed Wookie

What do you do if you have a bit of a rough landing in an old spaceship? If you're Chewbacca, you take some time to relax in a field of flowers. Check out how cozy he looks.

No Caption Provided

RED HOOD/ARSENAL #5

Best Thing to do if No One Cheers For You

It seems Roy Harper has one of the best attitudes around, even though he went through some rough times before. He realizes that if no one around is going to cheer for you, you do it yourself.

No Caption Provided

A-FORCE #5

Best Trio That Would Be Great in a Comic

We got to see a lot of great female Marvel characters in A-FORCE. But imagine how cool it would be to read a series or story featuring Black Widow, Mockingbird, and Sharon Carter.

No Caption Provided

NINJAK #8

Best Reason to Talk Before a Fight

What often happens when two characters meet? They fight. After hearing this guy's long story, Ninjak makes a good point about using your words rather than dive into action.

No Caption Provided

MS MARVEL #19

Best Question to Ask a Close Friend Who’s Upset With You

Life hasn't been easy for Kamala since she discovered she was an Inhuman and gained powers. She's been a little distant with friends because of her responsibilities. She does pose a good question to her friend when they finally discuss the situation and Kamala discovers her friend's not too happy.

No Caption Provided

STARFIRE #5

Best Look to Avoid for a Job Interview/Best Release the Hounds/Best Commentary on the Power of Certain Body Parts

Starfire is going for a job interview. She still doesn't get how exactly things work on Earth. She does learn a bit in these few panels.

No Caption Provided

CIVIL WAR #5

Best Fastball Special

Who doesn't love a good Fastball Special? In this alternate timeline, we see Cap order the current Hulk there to do a Fastball Special and throw him at Iron Man.

No Caption Provided

You can see what happens next in this week's Best Battles.

WHAT IF? INFINITY - X-MEN #1

Best Comment About Emma Frost That Likely Holds True for Most Teammates

If you haven't seen your friends and teammates for a while after you've been missing out in space and they're not too sure if you're Skrulls or not, this might not be the best question.

No Caption Provided

SUPERMAN: LOIS AND CLARK #1

Best Message to Classic Superman/Lois Lane Fans

Could this be a message to Lois and Clark fans? Do we deserve better?

No Caption Provided

SPIDER-MAN 2099 #1

Best Show for a Superhero to Appear On

Miguel is basically talked into going on the Ninja USA show (which seems a bit like American Ninja Warrior). You can imagine how easy the course will be for him.

No Caption Provided

I HATE FAIRYLAND #1

Best Cursing in Fairyland

Gertrude has been stuck in Fairyland in a kid's body for almost thirty years. She has some anger issues. She also has a colorful way of talking at times.

No Caption Provided

UNCANNY AVENGERS #1

Best Commentary on Deadpool/Best Use of Popularity

Is this another message of what some people are thinking of Deadpool? At least he's using his popularity, in the Marvel Universe, for good.

No Caption Provided

That's it this week. Let us know in the comments below what other Best Stuff you dug this past week. Thanks to @JnSPEC and @Fiaficoo_ for their suggestions!

@kgb725: Probably because the character is nothing more than sex appeal.

The Fastball Special is all the more epic considering who this Hulk is!

Oh Starfire... will you ever again become the warrior princess that you were supposed to be? It's painful to watch that the writers try to bring the same humor of Harley Quinn. They seemingly fail to understand that Kory is a completely different character.

At least Dick got it right with the amount of costumes running around, hopefully we'll get a good reaction of his regarding the new Robins. He'll have a mental break down.

I'll have to check out I Hate Fairyland. Looks fun.

I will always prefer the animated Starfire from Teen Titans to the comic book version. She at least had the wisdom to study human customs, though she didn't always understand them. At the very least, I feel she was treated with a lot more respect.

@rabumalal: You've never read the series if you think Starfire's personality is just of a sex doll and writers are exploiting her sex appeal to sell the book.

After all these years, Starfire still can't adapt. That look on Staph says she has seen a ghost not really "kiss me".

On that, I agree with the Joker. "Too many spin-offs."

@deathfalcon182: I read all of her current series and it's basically a Harley Quinn book (which I dropped not so long ago) as mentioned above. Her personality may not be a sex doll but DC is definitely exploiting this aspect same as they do with Harley.

Man, Vandal Savage--you may be brilliant, but you are also an idiot.

For Chewie there, man, talk about "Scent of a Wookiee".

One final touch I would have suggested to Starfire--ponytail. (Also, for her not to cross her legs Sharon Stone-style while sitting.)

@allstarsuperman: Why do you hate her ?

Because she used to a badass, strong, warrior princess. She travelled the universe saving slaves, she lead her own space craft in wars, she fought along side the teen titans and the Outlaws for years, but now, she cant understand sarcasm, she tries to drink baking soda, throws off her clothes infront of men and pretends not to know what she's doing.

It's blasphemous.

I agree but you have to admit it was hilarious when she said "release the hounds"

Also TSA strikes again!
