Best Battles in New Comics: 5/1/15

This week, we're featuring fights from BATMAN #40, AVENGERS #44, and FANTASTIC FOUR #645.

It's that time of the week. Time to look at the latest edition of Best Battles in New Comics. Comics often feature big battles with superheroes fighting supervillains. Sometimes we even have superheroes fighting other superheroes. Get ready to cheer and possibly cringe at the brutal punches being thrown.

BATMAN #40

This is the fight many have been waiting for. It was also the most suggested one on Twitter. Reading the issue, there's no way it could not be included this week.

Batman is trying to find a cure for Gotham beneath the city when he's attacked from behind.

The Joker hasn't been holding back. He is a little amped up so he has that to his advantage. He's almost playing around with Batman, jumping about and stabbing and slashing. The stabbing is just the beginning. Things get pretty brutal.

During the fight, it looks like Batman's face is also getting pretty messed up. Bruce is going to have some explaining to do, if he survives. But he's Batman, he has to survive, right? Joker responds with some deadly throwing cards but Batman continues charging at him.

Believe it or not, they keep going. And as Batman says, "It's...not over yet." Things continue to escalate from here. You don't want to miss this one.

AVENGERS #44

The end is near. With SECRET WARS on the horizon (on sale next week) and the planetary incursion about to happen (which will wipe out the entire world), Cap needs to hear the truth from Iron Man. He knows this is his last chance to find out.

Cap may be "old" but he's wearing a War Machine suit. Is that the best idea?

Cap points out that the suit is just a tool. What really matters is the "quality of the man inside." Smashing their way outside, you would think Tony has the upper hand. It is his tech they're using. But Cap is determined.

Cap just wants to hear that Tony lied. He wants to hear that he knew what was coming.

That's going to leave a mark too. It's sad when friends can't get along. The world's about to end and this is how they spend their final moments. You'll have to read the issue to see what happens after this.

FANTASTIC FOUR #645

Things have gotten a little messy here as well. We've seen the Fantastic Four go through some rough times recently. A lot of that was because of the Quiet Man. In trying to get revenge against Reed Richards, mainly out of jealousy, he unleashed some pretty evil things upon Earth. As they prepare to make their final move against Psycho-Man and the horde of evil outside, Reed makes sure to take care of one thing first.

Outside, pretty much everyone else is busy fighting. Even the Frightful Four have joined the heroes. Everyone is getting a chance to join in on the fight.

Of course there is that scummy Psycho-Man to deal with. Besides being a villain, he's also messed around with Sue's head. That's not cool.

Impressive, right? Things are about to get worse as a portal is about to close. Will the team make it? Who's gets sacrificed? This is the end of the series after all. You'll want to see the rest of this historic issue.

We'd tell you what happens next but we're out of time. That's it for this week.
