The Best Stuff In Comics: 9-7-15

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

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 #1

Best Mustache

After Deadpool is killed, he finds himself in between life and death...and has a pretty sweet mustache...on his mask.

Maybe this should be a permanent look? Probably not.

BAT-MITE #4

Best Superhero Endorsement We'd Like to See

Bat-Mite runs into Booster Gold, he doesn't really know who he is (since he only cares about Batman). Eventually he does recognize him from an ad.

"Hero Britches"? I really want to see that commercial.

STAR-LORD AND KITTY PRYDE #3

Best Spider-Man (Movie) Reference

Gambit has Kitty tied up. He gets inspired to find a Spider-Man mask to recreate that famous kissing scene with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. Don't worry, he doesn't get a chance to actually do it.

Best Days of Future Past Cover Homage

We've seen the cover to UNCANNY X-MEN #141 recreated so many times. I still enjoy seeing it done. This time, instead of Kitty being in the background, she's in the front, protecting Star-Lord. The Doom banner even sort of recreates the wanted posters in the background of the original cover.

BATMAN '66 Chapter 68

Best Interesting Nightmare/Fear

Batman and Robin face Scarecrow in the TV version continuity. We see Batman's fear and it's kind of weird seeing it this way.

MOCKINGBIRD: S.H.I.E.L.D. 50TH ANNIVERSARY #1

Best Comparison Between Boyfriends

It might upset some people but yeah, Bobbi is allowed to move on, just as Clint clearly has. It turns out she has a type as she compares Clint to Hunter.

Best Place to Keep Your Ammo if You're a Spy

If you're going to keep some bullets lying around, why not the cookie jar? But not just any regular cookie jar, you keep them in a TARDIS cookie jar.

DAREDEVIL #18

Best Dramatic Entrance

Daredevil has to pose as Ikari and pretend Daredevil's been killed. He walks in and makes a declaration.

Best Way to Tell if Kingpin's Upset

When Kingpin gets the news that his enemy is dead, he's not too happy even though it's what he ordered. Of course Matt can tell when he's upset.

INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US: YEAR FOUR Chapter 18

Best Low Blow

As you can imagine, there's a lot of fighting going on. Poseidon delivers a low blow to Aquaman in the Atlantean royal jewels.

GROOT #4

Best Reason to Make Sure Your Navigator Knows Where You're Going

Some Skrulls are planning on attacking Earth. Unfortunately the print was really small on their map and the navigator got the location wrong.

Best Visual Translation of "I Am Groot"

Groot is talking to Numinus, the universal guiding spirit. She questions her actions and mistakes and whether or not the universe is worth it. Groot responds in the way only he can.

That pretty much says it all for this week. There was also a really great X-Men/Wolverine homage but it was the very last panel and I just can't post it. It's pretty fantastic though.

That's it this week. Let us know in the comments below what other Best Stuff you dug this past week. Thanks to @djfanco for his suggestions. If you want to participate or felt we missed some other Best Stuff, don't complain, especially if you didn't offer any suggestions. Each week you can @reply me on Twitter at @GManFromHeck by Saturdays using the hashtag #BestStuffInComics.We'll give you a shout out and I'll think you're pretty groovy.

Be sure to always look for the best stuff and always be sure to remember if you're ever feeling down, "I am Groot." That says it all.
