That's it this week. Let us know in the comments below what other Best Stuff you dug this past week. Thanks to @Mrnoital for his suggestion on Twitter. 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 at @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 time your...business transactions for the most opportune moment.
