Best Stuff in Comics This Week

Every week, we take a look at some of the most bizarre, exciting, and downright unique things to happen in comics. Check out our choices below of the strange and wacky things that shouldn’t be overlooked from this week’s releases.

There may be some tiny spoilers ahead.

Amazing Spider-Man #12

Best Crossing the Streams

Referencing the classic film, Ghostbusters, both Spider-Man and Iron Man have to work together in order to take down a bad guy. How do they do it? They “cross streams” with Spider-Man’s webs and Iron Man’s pulse blasts.

Gwenpool #0

Best Way to Make an Entrance

Making a great entrance can make a great impression. Gwenpool does so this week by blasting her motorcycle through a door, smashing it into thousands of pieces.

Gwenpool #0

Best Hiding Spot

In order to keep a low profile, Gwenpool finds the perfect hiding place: right under Howard the Duck’s desk. Obviously, Howard isn’t too keen on where Gwen is hanging out.

Midnighter #12

Best Headshot

Midnighter isn’t a guy you want to mess with. He’s one tough cookie with incredible aim. He proves it by shooting a guy’s head off in this week’s issue.

Punisher #1

Best Reason to Avoid the Punisher

It should be pretty obvious that Punisher isn’t a guy you want to mess with. That should be common knowledge. However, one guy thinks he can kill the Punisher. That’s not a smart idea, since Punisher decides to thumb his eyes out.

Rocket Raccoon & Groot #5

Best Afternoon Reading

Who doesn’t like sitting on the beach and reading a good book? Groot sure does. What’s his book of choice? He likes a series called Tweenlight, which is exactly like it sounds. Rocket isn’t too happy about his choice.

Howard the Duck #7

Best Deflection During a Conversation

Howard the Duck was trying to inform Captain America what it means to be American. The Captain deflects the whole conversation by informing Howard that his name is just “Steve” now.

Howard the Duck #7

Best Jurassic Park Reference

While in the Savage Land, Howard the Duck and company stumble upon Savage Park, which has a font that suspiciously looks like something from a ’90s movie.

Uncanny X-Men #7

Best Way to Put on Your Helmet

Putting on a helmet is easy, but Magneto does it in a unique way. He liquifies the metal and wraps it into its shape, then solidifies it.

Bloodlines #2

Best Birthday Party (If You’re a Sociopath)

If you love birthday parties where everyone dies, you’re probably pretty messed up, and you’d love the party from Bloodlines this week.

Batman Superman #32

Best Way to Get Someone’s Attention (If you want to come off like a creep)

Looking to get someone’s attention? Try flying up to their apartment window and tapping on the glass. Apparently, that’s how Superman likes to do it, like a moderate stalker.

Wicked + Divine #19

Best Way to Get Away for a While

You ever want to disappear? This past week’s issue of Wicked + Divine shows you how. All you need to do is fall into the darkness, on the floor, and enter a whole world of pitch black.

Weavers #1

Best Nightmare Come to Life

While Weavers deals with mysticism and some pretty grotesque moments, what really stood out is when the main character swallowed a live spider. Delicious!
