The Best Stuff In Comics: 10-5-15

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

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.

THE CAVALRY: S.H.I.E.L.D. 50th ANNIVERSARY #1

Best Ironic Training Music Montage

Agent Melinda May has taken some new S.H.I.E.L.D. trainees to a training facility to get them into shape. While one is playing the hostage, some trouble erupts but we see him singing a familiar song.

It's familiar if you've seen Mulan, who is voiced by Ming-Na Wen who plays Melinda May on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Here's the song.

GHOSTBUSTERS GET REAL #4

Best Defense Without Really Thinking it Through

Sometimes when a big threat comes about, you act without thinking--especially if your friends are in danger.

GRAYSON ANNUAL #2

Best Team Up of the Week

Dick Grayson and Superman have always had a special bond. It was great to see it still in place and fun to see the two catch up with all the crazy changes they've been through recently.

S.H.I.E.L.D. #10

Best “Short List” of Characters That Have Died More Than Once

Howard the Duck is working with S.H.I.E.L.D. and tries naming people that have died more than once. He doesn't realize he's in a Marvel Comic and that list is pretty long.

GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL #4

Best Stomping During a Fight

We often hear about someone stomping during a fight. Hal Jordan takes it to a new level when he creates a giant construct version of himself.

You can read up more about this fight in this week's Best Battles.

INFERNO #5

Best Meal to Eat in a Demon Infested Environment

Even demon-possessed individuals need to eat. What do they eat? Hot dogs, of course. Yum?

BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT ANNUAL #1

Best Sign Working with Batman Might Be Taking a Toll

How many spoilers are out there for the game? It has been a while and we did warn you about spoilers. Let's just say someone has a fear-induced nightmare and there's a whole bunch of Batmans.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: WHITE #2

Strangest Cameo Entrance

We all love the cameos. In this Captain America tale, set in the past, he, Bucky, and the Howling Commandos are in a bit of a sticky situation. Out of nowhere...or out of the ocean at least, Namor jumps out, yells his famous line, and that's about it. He does do one specific thing and then must have returned to the sea. He must have had other plans and couldn't stick around.

BATMAN ’66 Chapter 70

Best Type of Music During a Jailbreak

What would be the best kind of music to have during a jailbreak? Banjo music, of course.

M.O.D.O.K. ASSASSIN #5

Most Awkward Attempt at a Kiss

Trying to figure out when the moment is right for that first kiss can be tricky at times. While it might be hard to be 100% certain the time is right, you really really need to do your best to have a clue as to what the situation really is. MODOK clearly has no clue.

GHOST RACERS #4

Strangest (or Most Awesome) Sight This Week

We've seen a lot of Ghost Racers in this series. Nothing can prepare you for this.

A flaming t-rex on top of a jet fighter. Clearly it's time to end this segment. What could top that?

That's it this week. Let us know in the comments below what other Best Stuff you dug this past week. Thanks to @RyanYoushockMe and @djfanco for their 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 a @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 completely know with 100% certainty when the time is right for that first kiss. Don't be a creep like MODOK.
