The Best Stuff In Comics: 5-11-15

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

HULK #16

Best Comment about Social Networks

We know that Doc Green is pretty smart right now. Some bad things are coming and gets a little bit of an insult.

Best Kiss

We often see a lot of romance and kissing around here in installments of Best Stuff. This week we have one that's been a little overdue between Betty and Bruce.

CONVERGENCE NIGHTWING/ORACLE #2

Best Wedding

Speaking of romance, here's a wedding we've all been waiting for and will likely never see in the current continuity. Perhaps someday Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson can find a place together. At least this is one good thing about the Convergence tie ins.

INHUMAN ANNUAL #1

Best Entrance

Where to begin to describe what's been going on for those that haven't been reading? Karnak died some time ago. He has a way of figuring out how to get out of certain situations and places. He's able to find the weakness in things. Let's just say he figured out a way to escape death. His return was a pretty glorious site.

CONVERGENCE SUPERMAN #2

Best Birth

While there was a birth in INHUMAN ANNUAL #1, the birth we see in this Convergence issue is one readers have been waiting for for a longer period of time. Again, it's something we won't be able to see in the "normal" comics. Yes, Lois Lane being pregnant by the Kryptonian Superman was properly explained and handled. It's nice to see comic characters get a happy moment once in a while.

You'll have to read the issue to find out what they name him.

ANT-MAN #5

Best Zoolander Reference

Scott Lang is a pretty goofy guy at times. Sometimes he can't even help but make himself laugh. While fighting Darren Cross, a guy that's been dead for a bit, he realizes there's some references the guy won't understand since he's been out of the loop.

Here's the reference from Zoolander.

Best Video Game Reference

We saw this mention in this week's Best Battles. Scott makes a reference to Battletoads.

What is this third level he speaks of? Watch this video to see what the level is about.

CONVERGENCE BATMAN AND ROBIN #2

Best Reason Not to Let Jason Todd Serve you Breakfast

In this Convergence timeline, it's not too different from what we're used to. Damian Wayne and Jason Todd don't get along too well. What Jason says might make you think twice if he ever offers to make or bring you breakfast.

SPIDER-GWEN #4

Best Reason to Wear a Mask

We know the heroes wear masks to protect their secret identities and all but there's another good use for them. When Gwen was trying to put a stop to a couple kids with cans of spray paint, she gets a bit in the face.

Despite this, she still does the heroic thing when their movement puts their lives at risk and they start to fall to their deaths.

KANAN: THE LAST PADAWAN #2

Best ‘Losing His Head’ Moment

We saw in Episode III when Order 66 was given and the Clone Troopers turned on the Jedi. For Kanan, the young padawan, we see when that moment happens and the troops he's come to think of as friends turn on him and his master.

JUPITER’S CIRCLE #2

Best Use of Glasses with a Secret Identity

Many people have complained or joked about the idea of glasses as part of a secret identity. In this issue, we see there is a use for them and how they can change your appearance into a mild mannered average citizen.

SECRET WARS #1

Best Staring into the Abyss Moment

Doctor Doom stares into the Beyond. It's a pretty glorious sight.

Best Fastball Special

This one was also seen in this week's Best Battles but it was too good not to highlight here as well. Usually Colossus and Wolverine are the ones doing the Fastball Special. Wolverine's not really around and Hulk can do a bit more damage so...

GUARDIANS TEAM-UP #5

Best Game of Poker

I'm sure you've seen the Dogs Playing Poker paintings before. Rocket experiences a live version with a slight twist.

MIDNIGHTER Preview

Best Dodging of a Bullet

The preview for next month's MIDNIGHTER issue appeared in CONVERGENCE: NIGHTWING/ORACLE #2 but you can read it digitally on the DC app and online at DC's site. What we see is an example how easily Midnighter can dodge a bullet--even if it's a weird demon bullet.

SPIDER-WOMAN #7

Best Escape

Spider-Woman had to sort of go undercover. She was hiding out in a villains's supersuit. When she's captured (it's part of the plan), we see how she escapes her situation.

Best Use of a Superhero Costume Top

Later, Jessica has to continue trying to go about in a discreet fashion. Looks like she can twist, tie, and fold her top into a purse.

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 suggestion (sorry for not using it, it involved too many pages from the comic). If you want to participate or felt we missed some other Best Stuff, 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 know exactly where your oatmeal is coming from.

Spider Woman has been so awesome.

Can't wait for the Midnighter comic.

ANtman finally made THAT reference!!! I knew it was inevitable.

~MiB

I can't believe I finally have an Ant-Man comic that's /THIS/ good! It's been one of the best reads this year by far.

I don't necessarily love Spider-Woman's new outfit, but it is highly practical. I love that it turns into a handbag for covert civilian carry.

No villain bar?

I see the Nightwing/Oracle wedding is distinctly in the bat-offices' taste: not a single Titan in sight, but lets crowbar Superman and Lois in for good measure.

Gwen's spraytan reminded me of why Huntress re-designed the Batgirl suit Cassandra would eventually wear:

@cometomlette: it was mentioned in Best Battles already.

@transformers1024: And yet it misses Scott's character.

Like I've said before though, I've moved on (I'm an Atom guy now)

A lot of great stuff this week!

@g_man: Woops

Wait...Banner's a red head now?

Hobie? As in Hobie Brown, the Anarchic Spider-Man in another universe?

That Secret Wars page is fantastic.

And the Pet Avengers are cute!

YES! Had to pause the CV Podcast to watch the Zoolander clip. Loved that part!

BATTLE TOADS WAS SOOOOO HARD

They don't make games like they used to.

Also: That page from Secret Wars is absolutely beautiful

The fact that Ant-Man mentions House of Cards (which stars Corey Stoll) during a fight with Darren Cross (who in the MCU film will be played by... Corey Stoll) can't possibly be a coincidence.

Does that left foot on Inhumans Annual #1 look weird to anyone else? It looks severely broken.

I know they are not in the main DC universe, but it is nice to see characters actually allowed to be married and have kids.

...They're going to die, aren't they?

I feel like Hulk could jump further than Colossus could throw him.

Yeahhhhh... That was dumb.

Changing subjects: Is it me or are Convergence and Secret Wars the same exact thing?

And the name of Clark and Lois' son is???

It'll cost you $3.99. :)

Zoolander reference is the best one

@edblank: @cmaprice: Do not ever insult Team Building Flip! It's the best thing ever.

Pockets are empty. :(

I really want a clone wars comic. That order 66 scene really made me cringe. Poor clones forced to kill their best friends and leaders.

how was that the best reason to wear a mask? she still seemed like it got to her

I like flip-flops. Havaianas are my favorite.

Also, She-Hulk!

yay

yay

yay

that'sd how bruce looks with a mowhawk? lame, then again, no hair cut is lamer

and I love!!!!!!! Jessica's back

Midnighter is so awesome.

That Spider-Woman purse is clever. Better than wearing your costume under your suit (Superman), or stuffing it in the backpack (Spider-Man), or even better than folding it into a ring (Flash).

About that Guardians Team-Up page:

Antman is so awesome. Glad his series is fantastic.

@sora_thekey: Except the big honkin spider logo is sitting right there.
