The Best Stuff In Comics: 2-16-15

This is where we present to you, the other best stuff besides the best covers, best story arcs, and best glass of refreshing orange juice.

This used to be a VIDEO FEATURE for over one hundred episodes. We've changed the format to a text version as most seem to prefer it this way. And don't forget to take the poll at the end.

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

ALL-NEW GHOST RIDER #11

Best Bedside Lamp

I always find it odd when you see superhero merchandise in comics. You know they have to be bootlegs. The heroes, especially ones with secret identities, aren't getting any royalties off them. (I did bring this up back in 2011 HERE).

In the latest ALL-NEW GHOST RIDER, we see a pretty cool Spider-Man lamp I would've loved as a kid.

BATMAN ETERNAL #45

Best Clue it's Time to Find a New Apartment

Luke Fox hasn't had it too easy in BATMAN ETERNAL. Now he's finding his place has undergone a little change. This is like clue #1 to GET OUT!!!

Best "Which Came First--The Chicken or the Egg?" Argument

Do superheroes in a town prevent crime or do they inspire costumed maniacs to appear? That's a question often asked by readers and not usually touched upon in comics.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #24

Best Reason the X-Men Think They Invented the Phoenix Force

The X-Men have been through a lot. Sometimes they act like they're the only ones to have ever gone through big epic catastrophes.

GREEN LANTERN CORPS #39

Best Power Construct

Yes, John Stewart creates some pretty cool guns in this issue, but his pile driver design was pretty cool and had impressive results.

DIVINITY #1

Best Reason to Stay in School

If you study hard, you could be given the best. It says so in this comic.

ALL-NEW X-MEN #36

Best Reason Not to Read Tony Stark’s Mind

The X-Men got stuck doing some dimension hopping. They weren't sure if they had returned to the right place. Jean sees Iron Man and reads his mind to see if they're on the right Earth. I think everyone would expect the reaction would be a big "Eeeew."

JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000 #14

Best Reason Not to Crave Meat Products

Some people love eating meat. Others are strict vegetarians. When traveling, you have to be careful what you eat, especially with meat products. There are alternatives but sometimes even the sound of them could be questionable.

STAR WARS: DARTH VADER #1

Best “The Gangs All Here” Cameo Scene

In the first issue of the new Darth Vader comic, Vader pays a visit to Jabba's palace. We know a lot of questionable folk hang out there. It seems pretty much every single bounty hunter in the galaxy hands out there. Perhaps that's where all the money and opportunities lie. Either way, it was cool to see all the familiar faces.

X-MEN #24

Best Description of a Tuesday for the X-Men

Yes, life is tough for the X-Men. We've sort of already touched on that up above. Here's a description of what a typical day is like.

HARLEY QUINN VALENTINE’S DAY SPECIAL

Best Titanic Reference

No Caption Provided

"How original" indeed. We've heard this said before. It makes sense that Harley would take this line on.

Best Reason Not to Park the Batmobile in the Batcave

This is another obvious one. Of course it must be what keeps Alfred busy when Batman's asleep.

THOR #5

Best Scene Depicting Haters Online

Despite the sales of the book and the fact that things will likely return to the status quo eventually, some people are still complaining even though it's been months now.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #14

Best Reason to Keep Your Costume on

Sometimes there comes a time you have to completely take off your costume in order to trick the bad guys. Some things are better left unseen though.

I'm not sure if I'll ever see Spider-Ham the same way again.

Best Poll of the Week

Last week the poll dealt with choosing your favorite Best Stuff of the week. You can check out the rest of the results HERE.

Would you rather vote on which Best Stuff was your favorite or one focusing on a particular item? This week, we thought we'd let you, think about the Chicken or the Bat argument.

(Note: if you get a "session expired" notice, refresh the page).

That's all I came up with this week. Let us know in the comments below what other Best Stuff you dug this past week. This week we only had one suggest from @djfanco and one from Gregg Katzman. Tsk, tsk. If you want to participate or felt we missed some other Best Stuff, you can @reply me on Twitter at @GManFromHeck by Fridays using the hashtag #BestStuffInComics and I'll think you're pretty groovy.

Let us know what you think of this format. Answer the poll question. Be sure to always look for the best stuff and try to not think about what must be going on in Tony Stark's mind. It's probably something that would put anyone in shock.
