The Best Stuff In Comics: 3-30-15

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

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.

SECRET AVENGERS #14

Best Fight Sequence

Ales Kot sets them up and Michael Walsh knocks them out of the park. I can't get enough of the change in perspective and storytelling in this series. This sequences shows Hawkeye taking down "seventeen hired guns without killing a single one of them while avoiding a monster and still totally following the plan..."

BATMAN AND ROBIN #40

Best ‘Brave and the Bold’ Team-Up

It's actually been kind of fun seeing Damian Wayne with superpowers. The team-up between him and Shazam has been a blast as well. Could this be the start of a new Brave and the Bold?

Best Attempt at Using Heat Vision

Imagine having heat vision. Imagine trying to turn it on for the first time or even wondering if you can turn it on. Either way, it makes a pretty great panel when Damian makes the attempt.

UNCANNY X-MEN #32

Best Goldballs to the Face

Not many people would want to get smacked in the face with a ball. Cyclops gets several balls to the face. When the team is outraged over his decision to turn them over to the Jean Gray School, Goldballs couldn't control himself.

R.I.P. Cyclops?

Coldest Remark This Week

We also see a flashback to a conversation between Scott and Emma. Emma suggests maybe they should just start over with everything. Scott's reply was a little chilly.

Best Future Plans for the Summers Brothers

Cyclops and his brother (Havok) have reunited. They've been on separate teams for sometime and Alex has been going through some things. What does the future hold for these two brothers? A suggestion is made.

Would you read a SUMMERS BROTHERS PIZZA PARLOR comic series?

GOTHAM ACADEMY #6

Best Reason Not to Talk

Speaking of pizza, sometimes, there's a reason to look forward to lunch in the cafeteria. Pizza Day was always a highlight for the lunch menu. And when someone is trying to have a conversation with you, they might as well wait until the pizza is gone.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #25

Best Indiana Jones Reference

Sam Alexander is such a little rascal. Who else would think about the Indiana Jones theme song while trying to run off with one of the most dangerous space artifacts in the galaxy while an army of evil aliens are hot on your trail?

DEATHSTROKE #6

Best Hamlet Reference

Deathstroke (and Harley Quinn) came face to face with Possum, one of Deathstroke's new villains. It turns out there is a tiny bit of culture within Slade. Then again, hasn't everyone read Hamlet in high school?

Best Butt Shot

Here we get a butt shot involving Lady Shiva.

It's a literal butt shot. Harley shoots her in the butt. Get your mind out of the gutter.

PAST AWAYS #1

Best Way to Deal with a Deadly Creature

Speaking of butts, here we have a strange creature that can secret some sort of acid out of its butt. Earlier in the issue a dude thinks it's funny to get his pic taken with one. Everyone soon witnesses the results of this mistake. Seems there's one safe way to deal with them.

DAREDEVIL #14

Best Costume Change

Now "best costume change" can bet taken two different ways. Daredevil's decision to change his outfit does make sense. What's the point of wearing a mask if he's embraced having everyone know his true identity? This new look may take some getting used to and who's to say how permanent it will be. It is a little snazzy though.

"Oh good lord" indeed.

THE FLASH #40

Best Creator Cameos

Sometimes we get to see comic book creators in the actual comics. With this week's THE FLASH, we see co-writers Van Jensen and Robert Venditti busy working on their laptops.

DARTH VADER #3

Best Day in the Life of a Sith Lord

What does Darth Vader do in a typical day? When he's searching for someone, it's probably a little something like this.

BATMAN ETERNAL #51

Best Family Reunion

This next one...well, we can't really say anymore or who it involves. It's a great moment. You'll just have to read it yourself.
