The Best Stuff In Comics: 4-27-15

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

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.

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

Apologies for the slightly briefer edition (again). I'm at the hotel after C2E2 fighting with the hotel internet and trying to edit our video features (be sure to check out all our posts).

ALL-NEW X-MEN #40

Best Earth Day Celebration

Last Wednesday was Earth Day. Last Wednesday was also the release of ALL-NEW X-MEN #40. After their crazy adventure out in space during the Black Vortex arc, the X-Men finally returned to Earth. Let's just say they were pretty happy.

HULK #14

Best Blood Mustache

You probably saw this week's edition of Best Battles in Comics. HULK #14 was one of the issues featured with some pretty hardcore fighting action. We always wonder what happens to General Ross' mustache when he turns into Red Hulk. During the fight, he ends up with a bit of a mustache from his blood.

Best Alternative to Going to the Dentist

Going to the dentist can be a pain. You have to hope you can get an appointment that works for you. There's also the insurance you have to deal with. Hulk decided to give Red Hulk a hand (or fist) to help him with some of his teeth.

INHUMAN SPECIAL #1

Best Vulture Reference

Spider-Man is sort of hanging out with some of the Inhumans (or NuHumans). They're dealing with a flying dude. Spider-Man makes a reference that describes Vulture pretty accurately.

CHEW #48

Best Movie to Watch on an Airplane

What better movie is there to watch while on an airplane than the classic movie Airplane? I'm sure there are some others that come to mind but let's just go with this one.

Best Question about a Robotic Horse Body

This next one kind of speaks for itself. I guess the real question is, is there any other question you could ask?

STAR WARS #4

Best "Who Shot First?" Moment

In this issue we see a new character talking to some Rodians. There's no questioning who shot first with her.

THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL #4

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY & X-MEN: THE BLACK VORTEX OMEGA #1
