The Best Stuff In Comics: 6-15-15

This is where we present to you, the other best stuff besides the best covers, best story arcs, and best reusable grocery bag.

This used to be a video series. It's not anymore. 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.

BATMAN #41

Best Awkward Moment Between Friends

I actually witnessed something similar to this before and it didn't go too well. With the changes in the New 52, Jim Gordon's age has decreased slightly. Besides the change in the color of his hair, it wasn't clear exactly how much younger he became. Not even Harvey Bullock knew. But now we all do.

Best Visual History Via Paint Jobs

What this is all about is explained HERE. It was a nice little homage even if it's something that won't actually be used for the suit in the comics.

SECRET WARS JOURNAL #2

Best Car Chase

What I really liked about this car chase (yeah, it's between a car and a motorcycle), is all the lights and the colors. The chase doesn't end well.

CATWOMAN #41

Best Reaction to Batman’s Death

What? Batman's dead? Is he really? It has been months since anyone's seen him. Selina finally gets the news. Like a punch in the gut.

SPIDER-GWEN #5

Best Description of a Rival’s Singing Voice

In Spider-Gwen's world, she's the drummer in a band. Felicia Hardy is also in another band. The way she sings is described with some interesting detail.

SILK #5

Best Description of Black Cat’s Current Persona

It's not Felicia's week. In the regular Marvel Universe, she's kind of gone through some changes. She's a bit more...evil now. A little kid gives her thoughts on her.

Best Star Wars Reference

Silk is teaming up with her "sidekick," Spidey. When it's pointed out that their current plan could be a trap, Spidey says what has to be said.

CHRONONAUTS #4

Best Reason Not to Time Travel to Jurassic Days

Seems like everyone and their friend went and saw Jurassic World this weekend. If you found yourself having access to a time travel device, you might be tempted to travel back to see actual dinosaurs. It's probably not a good idea.

Best Two-Page Battle Spread

I can't get enough of these two pages.

STARFIRE #1

Best Question No One’s Ever Asked Starfire

We all know Starfire comes from another world. Clothing is something she still hasn't gotten used to. As she heads to a new location in the DCU (Florida), someone asks her a question I don't think anyone's ever asked her about her clothes.

(But the actual answer is, yes, she has sort of worn them before).

MRS. DEADPOOL AND THE HOWLING COMMANDOES #1

Best Way to Finally Kill Deadpool

Can Deadpool be killed? He's been through quite a bit and always manages to regenerate. Even chopping his head off won't do the trick. But it looks like a solution may have been found.

INJECTION #2

Best Reason to Use Your Peephole With Caution

You can never be too cautious when you hear a strange knock on your door. Even using the peephole isn't safe. Hopefully this won't frighten you so much you'll never answer the door again.

You can see more of this in this week's Best Battles.

WEIRDWORLD #1

Best Map

If you're headed out to a weird place, a map could be helpful. When it's hand-drawn, you might want to reconsider. It is pretty amazing, though.

ALL-STAR SECTION 8 #1

Weirdest Batman Guest Appearance

There really isn't a way to describe what happens in this issue. You really just need to read it for yourself. Once Batman finally shows up, we see him getting a parking ticket, change styles, and...really, it just all can't be described.

HARLEY QUINN #17

Best Movie Lines

Harley has a new "Gang of Harleys" and they're trying to clean up the neighborhood in a heroes-for-hire kind of way. While they're solving an important case of missing garbage cans, some familiar movie lines are said.

And just for fun, here's a little clip to go along with the last image.
