The Best Stuff In Comics: 1-19-15

This used to be a VIDEO FEATUREfor over one hundred episodes. We've changed the format to a text version as most seem to prefer it this way. Let me know in the comments below.

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

DEADPOOL #40

Best Cameos

Every once in a while you'll see actual cameos of real people in comics. When they're specifically mentioned by name, it can date the comic or make it feel a little too contrived. When it comes to Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn's DEADPOOL series, the normal rules are thrown out the window.

Best Place for Jason Aaron to Hide Weapons

One of the cameos in the issue was writer Jason Aaron. We find out the true reason he sports a big beard. When the action kicks in, we see several items retreived from his beard.

GRAYSON #6

Best Way to Recognize Dick Grayson in Disguise

Midnighter has had some run ins with Dick Grayson. The problem is, with Spyral's tech, you can't quite make out their agent's faces. It turns out thanks to Midnighter's keen eyes, he doesn't need to have seen Dick's face to recognize him.

ALL-NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA #3

Best Description of Sin's Voice

The Red Skull's daughter, Sin, is a real piece of work. We often read these different characters and maybe don't really think about how they must sound. Rick Remender gives us a good description for Sin.

Best Busting Out of Chains Moment

How sucky must it be to be chained up and have to listen to a villains long-winded speech? Falcon Captain America has to listen to Sin. But eventually he gets to bust out of his chains in a move that would make Superman proud.

DEEP STATE #3

Best Reason Why it’s Not Always Necessary to Tell Someone to Run

How many times have see seen moments where characters are in a really bad situation and one has to tell the other to "Run"? In DEEP STATE, we see a moment it's not necessary to say it.

S.H.I.E.L.D. #2

Best Old School Comic Book Ad Reference

If you're an older reader or if you've happened to read some older back issue comics, you're likely familiar with GRIT. I remember the ads but I've never actually seen one of their papers.

INJUSTICE: YEAR THREE Chapter 16

Best Facial Expression While Getting Punch by an Amazon

Poor Sinestro. It doesn't matter how much power you may have, you just don't want to get on Wonder Woman's bad side.

WOLVERINES #2

Best Negotiator

Can all agree that Mystique is a bad-ass? When going up against the Wrecking Crew, there's a couple ways it could go. She takes the smart road and gives them a pretty good offer.

GHOSTED #16

Best/Worst Wedding Ceremony

Weddings can be highly unpredictable. All sorts of things could happen. In Joshua Williamson's GHOSTED, we see a wedding you'll be thankful you weren't invited to.

AMAZING X-MEN #15

Best 'After Hours' Nickname for Juggernaut

It might not be entirely an "after hours" name but it might conjure some strange thoughts about Juggernaut.

ALL-NEW GHOST RIDER #10

Best Spider-Man Bridge Scene Moment

Remember that time Green Goblin took Gwen Stacy to the George Washington Bridge? It didn't go too well for Gwen. Robbie Reyes unknowingly sort of relives that moment.

STAR WARS #1

Best Attempt at the Jedi Mind Trick

With this comic taking place pretty much right after Episode IV, Luke isn't exactly the most skilled Jedi just yet. Having seen Obi-Wan use the Jedi Mind Trick on Stormtroopers, he decides to give it a try. He's not quite ready for it yet.

SPIDER-VERSE #2

Best Punk Rock Moment

Punk Rock Spidey. No other words are necessary.

Best Poll of the Week

Last week the poll dealt with choosing your favorite Best Stuff of the week (you guys really liked Star-Lord and Kitty's hug). You can check out the rest of the results HERE.

This week, we want to know if you've ever tried using the Jedi Mind Trick.

(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. Thanks to Gregg Katzman, @djfanco, @chynamanonfire, @simonsezstuff, and @Claw_Fist. 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 be aware of what sort of things you keep in your beard if you decide to grow one.

If this segment were a contest, this would win

I've actually been successful with the Jedi Mind Trick.

No. I'm too "cool" to do silly things like that.

~MiB

Haha, Midnighter looks so awesome while delivering that line.

Midnighter...

I'm always happy to help with the Best Stuff in Comics segment, but I have to add this one I just thought was awesome and kind of funny out of All-New Ghost Rider #10

Best Reason to drink more milk

Midnighter should have an ongoing, I could see Justin Jordan doing it.

PUNK ROCK SPIDEY!!!!

Great picks, but one thing's bothering me....How is Sam Wilson strong enough to break free?

Best part is that from the way the panel is cropped, anyone unfamiliar with Midnighter would just assume that's Batman from what we can see of the mask

XD

It tickles me that 80% of the poll voted "Yes. I'll continue trying until I achieve success."

Does Falcon have superpowers now?

At comic con I cosplayed a Jedi and I used a Jedi mind trick to get a discount on some old Justice League comics. The best part was that it totally worked... or the guy just liked the reference and was in a good mood.

OH GOD YOU'RE RIGHT

well, I will continue trying until I achieve success.....

"I'd know that ass anywhere".

Best moment of the week. And it's funny cause it's true.

Those Aaron panels cracked me up.

I'm always successful with the Jedi Mind Trick. In fact, I made Tony ask that question.

Nightwing is a sexy beast. How have Grayson and Ghost Rider been anyway? I'm cautious about picking them up.

As someone totally unfamiliar with Midnighter, I totally thought that was Batman lol.

It still wins, regardless. So, so hard.

Lol. I actually thought that was Batman.

This.

These are the comics I am looking for.

Yeah I like it in article format

@captainmarvel4ever said:

Definitely

@theamazingimmortalman:

So say we all :)

I loved Midnighter's. "I'd know that ass anywhere." Lol

@farkam: not reading Ghost Rider but I've been enjoying Grayson. It sucks he's not in the Nightwing role but Dick still acts like Dick so it's a good ride. Not sure where this particular arc is headed cuz it hasn't seemed like he's making headway on Batman's original mission.

Love this new format. Text articles give my data usage a break.

I know Midnighter is gay but it isn't made clear in that panel. I could just as easily say he's talkingaabout Helena's ass.

Nice

@jonny_anonymous: Besides being able to talk to birds, no

Of course I've tried the Jedi mind trick

No, Batman! It's not true that your into guys. What's wrong with you, dude? That's your s-- Oh Wait XD.

Thanks.

and yet i still can't like "captain falcon"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Midnighter WTF

@nerd_of_a_hero: I thought it was Crazy Hobo Steve.
