The Best Stuff In Comics: 7-20-15

This is where we present to you, the other best stuff besides the best covers, best story arcs, and best set of decorative coasters.

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

This may be a slightly shorter edition since I took a little time off this weekend. There may be some teeny tiny spoilers below.

HAWKEYE #22

Best Advice from a Bro

We know the Tracksuit Mafia are a bunch of jerks. It doesn't seem like they care about anyone or anything. It turns out they do show some concern towards each other.

BLACK CANARY #2

Best New Form of Kung-Fu

Dinah Lance is a great fighter and knows multiple forms of martial arts. Now that she's in a band and on the road, we discover another type of kung-fu she's good at.

Don't try hair-dye kung-fu on your own unless you're a trained professional.

SILVER SURFER #13

Best Translations

The Silver Surfer soars through cosmos. With the Power Cosmic, he is also able to translate the vast number of different languages. Luckily for us readers, that translation is shown to help us understand what's going on. In this issue, we see a couple different translations.

Best Homage to "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper

You're probably familiar with the famous painting. We get a glimpse of some people hanging out in a diner at night. Here we see Silver Surfer and Dawn Greenwood hanging out in an interstellar diner.

GUARDIANS OF KNOWHERE #1

Best Name for a Bar

Not only we do we get to see a space diner this week, in GUARDIANS OF KNOWHERE #1, we also get to see a space bar.

In case you weren't aware, C.B. Cebulski is the talent scout for Marvel. He's also an expert on food and drink so it's fitting that a space bar would be named after him.

HARLEY QUINN #18

Best (or Maybe Worst) Kiss

Harley and Joker. I can't decide if seeing them share a passionate moment is touching or just weird. Harley was in a fight and ended up taking some mutated seaweed to gain some strength to be on the same level as her opponent (yeah, you need to read the issue). You can see from the pirate-theme that she has a bit of a dream/hallucination going on after.

YEARS OF FUTURE PAST #3

Best Star Wars Reference

In this timeline, new mutants can't be born. The last two mutants were Kitty and Colossus' daughter, Christina, and Wolverine's son, Cameron Howlett. Readers would assume that these two have to get together at some point for the future of mutantkind, right? Well [spoiler] we discover that Cameron is actually Kitty and Colossus' son as well. He was kept separated to keep him out of the mutant camps and so forth. You can imagine what it must be like for the two youngsters to discover the truth.

SECRET WARS BATTLEWORLD #3

Best Depiction of How Many See Wolverine

Or in other words, too many Wolverines. Wolverine, before he "died," had a tendency to show up pretty much everywhere. In a way that sort of drives this point home, we see a domain that becomes overrun with Wolverines. It's a Wolverine-fan's dream or nightmare.

CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND THE MIGHTY DEFENDERS #1

Best Hammers of Thor

We've seen Thor hammers in all sorts of sizes and shapes. When it comes to the Jennifer Walters in this domain, she has a gavel.

Why does she have a gavel instead of a hammer? Is that fair? Of course it is. This is She-Hulk we're talking about.

That's it this week. Let us know in the comments below what other Best Stuff you dug this past week. Thanks to @DJFanco for his suggestions. If you want to participate or felt we missed some other Best Stuff, 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 know for certain if there's any possibility that you might have a long lost sibling before forming any romantic interest in someone.
