Best Stuff in Comics This Week: 9-12-16

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.

Aquaman #6

Best Reason Aquaman Isn't Lame

We recently looked at some of the reasons people assume Aquaman is a lame character. You can check out our video evidence here. In this week's issue, Aquaman and Mera are fighting the military over a misunderstanding. Superman arrives to calm things down and witnesses Aquaman's might first hand.

Deadpool & The Mercs For Money #3

Worst Nickname

Deadpool doesn't always think before he speaks. He jokingly mentions a nickname that could give others the wrong idea. Then again, perhaps the nickname does give the right idea about how quickly Wade does some things.

Batman #6

Best Reason Why You Don't See Batman Hiding in Trees

Gotham Girl is having a slight breakdown over the loss of her brother. She's still speaking to him and brings up a great point about why you don't see Batman in trees. After all, he is good at pretty much everything.

Best Hug

As cold and distant as Batman appears, he can show emotions at time. This isn't the first time he's won the Best Hug category. Here, he's giving Gotham Girl some much needed comfort.

All-New, All-Different Avengers #14

Best Flying Takedown

The all-new Wasp shows Janet Van Dyne the advantage of being raised in an assassin school. Janet refers to the move as Shrink Fu.

Daredevil #11

Best Creepy New Villain

Daredevil is hunting down a new serial killer. He comes across this creepy-looking guy on a rooftop. He doesn't say or do much here but makes an interesting first impression.

Superman #6

Best Return

Superman and his son, Jon, have been fighting the Eradicator. The Kryptonian artifact designed to protect the purity of their home planet decided Jon needs to be purged since his mother is an Earthling. Towards the end of the battle, we the return of Krypto, the Superdog.

Best Introduction

Superman decides it's time to introduce his super-powered son to Batman and Wonder Woman. Jon's powers are still developing, but he's shown great promise. This is Superman's way of accepting the role his son will play in the world and superhero community.

Spidey #10

Best Team-Up

Set during the beginning of Spider-Man's crime-fighting career, Spider-Man is still trying to accept the lack of respect he gets from J. Jonah Jameson and most of the public. Running into Captain America, the two team-up and take down M.O.D.O.K. in a great action sequence.

Nightwing #4

Best Pac-Man Reference

Nightwing and his partner, Raptor, are helping some captives escape. Working their way through a maze, Raptor mentions knowing how Pac-Man must feel.

Marvel Tsum Tsum #2

Best Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reference

What the heck is a Tsum Tsum? In the Marvel Universe, they're actually aliens that take on the form of what they witness. A bunch watched an Avengers battle on TV and took on their forms. When a crook managed to steal one, he decides placing it in front of the TV would help it to learn the language. Sadly, the Tsum Tsum does not take on the form of Will Smith after watching his sitcom.

The Flintstones #3

Worst School Bus

There are some surprising advances in technology during the Flintstones' prehistoric era. The fact that they have televisions among other things is impressive. What is not impressive is how the school bus operates. We've all seen Fred "driving around with bald feet," and it appears the school children have to do the same thing. It would seem missing the bus wouldn't be too big of a deal.

Invincible Iron Man #13

Best Look of Despair

Tony Stark has suffered a lot lately. He's lost his best friend, his company and personal life have been attacked, and he even had his girlfriend break things off with him. When Mary Jane tries talking to Stark, he looks at her with so much despair and sadness on his face.

Justice League #4

Worst Thing to Hear a Member of the Justice League Say

The Justice League are fighting a major attack that could destroy Earth. When Cyborg gets some answers about what's going on, what he says isn't very reassuring.

That's it this week. Let us know in the comments below what other Best Stuff you dug this past week. Thanks to @thevinomonster for his suggestions. If you want to participate or felt we missed some other Best Stuff, don't complain, contribute, 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 look around carefully when walking by trees. You never know if Batman is hiding in one since he's so good at it.

Tony... damn dude. He doesnt look sad as much as he looks like hes just given up in general.

I cant wait for the new Superman trades man. By far my favorite Rebirth title. So freeeeeaking goooood.

I enjoyed Batman and Green Arrow this week. Great character development in both. The Time Master reminds me of a drug dealer with a twist to make him more then the common thug. Gotham Girl is extremely interesting.

Yay, Krypto!!!

Haha! That school bus is amazing!

Good stuff this week. Especially Aquaman, Batman and Superman.

That sideview of Wonder Woman looks weird.

Real talk: The Superman rebirth comics are amazing. Both of them. Action comics and Superman. I haven't been this interested and invested in superman in YEARS. Bringing back the old superman was the best decision regarding superman DC has done in years. The family dynamic is amazing and makes me wish Marvel had the balls to do it with Spider-man.

i have not even read the aquaman rebirth comic. the reason is the issue 1 art threw me off. didn't like the art. am gonna have to read it.

Yeah, the perspective on that shield looks way off

I feel like I'm going to be the only one who dislikes them changing Krypto back, I really liked the wolf look, he always looked too much like an earth dog for something that came from krypton...also how come krypto is now listening to him, if he's a different superman?

Agreed, the shield should be sideways.

It's so nice to see that somebody(Patrick Gleason) can draw a Superman that doesn't look like he's been constipated for two months.

Superman #6 was pretty great. I don't throw great around lightly.

Superman #6 and Batman #6 were fun reads . Superman had awesome, much needed classic superman moments! While batman had that emotional and soft side of Bruce that we rarely see.

That pose makes aquaman look so weird, I cant even take him serious. Can already say I don't like Jon of the trinity Batman is the only that should have a kid.

Really like the way they show Tony. It looks like he really needs a break.

Excluding some portions of the art Aquaman #6 was pretty damn good. Still, I felt that situation could've been handled a tiny bit better.

Daredevil #11's "Best Creepy New Villain" has a creepy look that is wasted on Daredevil.

Poor Tony. I feel like he's gonna have a terrible send-off.

This...is true lol.

Well, they're at least trying to make it seem like they have the balls to do it, given that the Renew Your Vows story is getting a sequel with Peter, MJ, and their daughter fighting crime together. True it's a parallel universe with no impact on the main universe but I suppose that's Marvel trying to have their cake and eat it too. I still really hope that Peter and MJ get back together in the main universe (if it's by beating Mephisto and undoing the deal, that's even better).

On a related note, someone who has read Invincible Iron Man #13, please tell me that Tony and MJ do not end up sleeping with each other after the panel shown. I only ask because that feels like how a lot of these stories go, where someone has lost everything and ends up sleeping with someone close to them to get some kind of comfort. If they have Tony and MJ developing a close and trusting friendship, that's great because it'd be a cool dynamic and something we don't usually see a lot in comics. But having the two sleep together would make it seem like that's the only reason that MJ was put into the series, so that she could have sex with Tony.

Janet wasn't calling Nadia's move Shrink Fu - that's what Janet does next to another thug. She shrinks, and then grows landing a nasty hit to the neck, scoring a KO. Nadia's move was plain old martial arts.

Wtf is going on with Author in that first picture?

Mary Jane would never sleep with Tony Stark, she knows he and Peter knew each other and that would go against her character...........then again this is Bendis we´re talking about, so who knows.

Ha, Daredevil's new enemy is Bloodshot.

@warlockmage: He looks like someone who'd grace the cover of a 70's soft-rock album. (A Gordon Lightfoot one, maybe?)

Yeah, that's kind of why I was worried.

@aros001: I have already read it, thankfully, they did not sleep together.

Dang...for a first time team-up (I'm assuming it's the first), Cap and Spidey are working together really well.

wait. if Jon Kent is going to be Superboy then what about Superboy Connor Kent ?

i tried to google raptor and it said nightwing villain. who is raptor?

"Krypto. Sit Boy."
