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

There may be some teeny tiny spoilers below.

STAR WARS #13

Best Reminder Why You Should Always Let the Wookie Win

I'm sure you remember that one line in the original Star Wars movie about why you should let a Wookie win. They tend to pull out people's arms. Chewbacca gives us a nice reminder about how it would go.

BATMAN BEYOND #7

Best Batman Beyond Animated Series Intro Reference

How many times have you watched the intro to Batman Beyond. It was something different for its time. There's some themes that flash on the screen and we see them mentioned this week.

No Caption Provided

And here's the intro if you need a reminder.

GUARDIANS OF INFINITY #1

Strangest Ancient Language Discovered in a Marvel Comic

Drax and Rocket come across a hidden message.

No Caption Provided

The language looks like one used a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. It seems to have been flipped. The message isn't much. It's a matter of giving credit where credit is due. I'll let you figure out what the message is dealing with.

No Caption Provided

BATMAN AND ROBIN ETERNAL #9

Best Bat-Shark Repellent Reference

We all know that Batman always carries shark repellent in his utility belt. He's not the only one.

No Caption Provided

Best Reminder that Sometimes Dick Grayson can be a...Jerk

Dick Grayson and Harper Row have been trying to work together. He finds out she hasn't had the best life growing up and apologizes for being so tough on her.

No Caption Provided

DAREDEVIL #1

Strangest Place for an Office

Matt Murdock is back in New York City. He's now working for the District Attorney's office. They gave him his own office but, as he mentions, it's not like he needs a view.

No Caption Provided

TOTALLY AWESOME HULK #1

Best Reason to Make Sure Your Costume is Fireproof

Amadeus Cho is a Hulk now. After fighting a big turtle monster that could breath fire, he tries hitting on a lady at the beach. Guess he couldn't feel the draft that suddenly appeared.

No Caption Provided

Best Unnecessary Finishing Move

Later there's another monster to deal with. Looks like Cho and She-Hulk have it under control. Miles Morales wants to make sure the monster is truly out.

No Caption Provided

TEEN TITANS #14

Best Disappearing Act That Editorial Didn't Catch

The Teen Titans just finished a big fight. They're hanging out at Red Robin's place. You can see he's standing right there but suddenly the rest of the team has no idea where he went.

No Caption Provided

VISION #2

Best Reason Certainty is an Illusion

Can you ever really be certain about anything? Vision and his wife have a brief discussion on the idea.

No Caption Provided

ROBIN WAR #1

Best Descriptions of the Past Robins

Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne were all Robins and are kind of like brothers. They have a great way of describing each other.

No Caption Provided

ALL-NEW X-MEN #1

Best RV For Superheroes

If you're on a team of heroes and one of the members is super-smart, what better way to travel than a RV that's impossibly larger on the inside and has a slushie machine?

No Caption Provided

SAVAGE DRAGON #209

Best Reminder Why Having a Baby with a Superhero May Not Be the Best Idea

We've heard about the possibilities of what could happen if Lois Lane and Superman tried having a kid. We get a good example of how dangerous that could be if not properly monitored.

No Caption Provided

CYBORG #5

Best Rowdy Roddy Piper Reference

Roddy Piper said a lot of things but it's great to see Cyborg quote him.

No Caption Provided

Best Thing We Always Want to see Cyborg Say

It's just something Cyborg has to say and always should.

No Caption Provided

ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS #2

Best Instance of Calling Someone a Jerk

There's been different times characters have been called out by others and called a jerk. Kamala Khan really emphasizes the point with Sam Alexander.

No Caption Provided

PAPER GIRLS #3

Strangest Vision After a Serious Injury

Something pretty bad happens to Erin. She then has a strange vision/dream that's pretty interesting.

No Caption Provided

HOWARD THE DUCK #2

Best Observation on the Silver Surfer

Without getting into the full details, there's strange female versions of Howard and Rocket Raccoon. They see Silver Surfer for the first time and say what we probably all think.

No Caption Provided

HARLEY'S LITTLE BLACK BOOK #1

Best Secret About Harley

There's one thing from this week's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer that got people excited--Wonder Woman. It turns out Harley Quinn's a big Wonder Woman fan as well.

No Caption Provided

Strangest Team-Up

It's pretty weird how Harley goes about making this happen and why she felt the need to knock out Wonder Woman and take her outfit off so she could wear it. You don't often see team-ups resulting in an exchange of costumes.

No Caption Provided

SPIDEY #1

Best (or Worst) Time to Take a Selfie

Spider-Man found himself fighting White Rabbit. After defeating her, he decides to take a pic and post it online as a lesson to other crooks. #busted

No Caption Provided

Best Observation on Doc Ock's Speech

Have you ever wondered why Doc Ock says some of the things he does? During a fight, Spidey asks him about some of the words he uses.

No Caption Provided

PREZ #6

Best Use of E-mail from a Cat

What if cats could use e-mail? What would they use it for? To send cat jokes, of course.

No Caption Provided

That's it this week. Let us know in the comments below what other Best Stuff you dug this past week. Big thanks to @Jawshco and @AlexLaVelle2005 for their suggestions! If you want to participate or felt we missed some other Best Stuff, don't complain, contribute! Especially if you didn't offer any suggestions. Each week you can @reply me on Twitter a @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 have the proper amount of clothing on when trying to talk to someone of the opposite sex.

Harley's grenade-boots scare me on so many levels!

I'm really sick of Daredevil being stuck in places "because it's wasting a view" aside from the legalities (which you think a law-talking guy would know about) doesn't he ever get visitors? Do they like the elevator shaft's view? Also sticking a guy with hypersensitive ears in the bottom of an elevator shaft is definitely not the most comfortable idea either...

That TT scan with the repulsive art... I think there is actually a mishap in it. Tim is ofc in top part of the image, but the speech pattern implies he was never there in the first place and he parted ways with the Titans before they got to 'the Nest' if we really are going to call it that. Also it seems kinda odd that he'd manage to ask Raven to send him elsewhere while everyone is standing around him and no one, not even Raven, appears to know where that is now. (dissappearing acts like that are fine when it's a solo move... but this is kinda like Batman dissapearing on Gordon while Bullock is hold the door he slips out of.)

Cyborg finally said BOOYAH! All is well.

Also, that Harley issue was hilarious.

Also, that "no pants" Hulk thing was pretty tasteless, especially with a child so close.

Cyborg saying "Booyah" made me surprisingly happy.

By the way, for those who are curious about what is written on the wall in the guardians comic, it's a list of who worked on the comic.

@gamejutsu: because here she is a strong woman who is constantly abused by Mr. J who she forgives over and over, not out loud obviously. Then theres wonderwoman who for all intents and purposes is a bonafide badass who cant even be held down/back by Superman himself. it just makes sense to me that she would find that admirable and worthy of being a fan.

Ok, I have a question about the New 52 timeline:

Harley says she's been a fan of Wonder Woman's since she was a kid, so when did Wonder Woman first appear in the world for that to be at all possible?

@mechhead42: Oh, you meant all of that "strong-independent-woman-who-don't-listen-to-no-man" kind of admiration. That's.. Well... That, I guess, just that I was expecting another reason for her being a fan.

I'm pretty sure that Superman can subdue WW if he wanted to, like how he can solo anyone he wants.

WW is okay I guess, but she is pretty overestimated. And I don't really like her that much.

Same question here. Far as I know, WW didn't show up until the JL's first meeting, and at time Batman had been active for 5 years already. Big mistake on the part of the writer / editor here. Unless Harley's like 15. But even then, again, WW hasn't been active for that long

It's a funny moment in a loosely tied to canon series. As her boyfriend said

It's a comedy series, the continuity isn't meant to be taken seriously

going by Damian's logic

Jason = easy to kill robin

Tim = easy to forget robin

Damian = easy to kill robin & easy to hate robin
