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 of the strange and wacky things that shouldn’t be overlooked from this week’s releases.
There may be some tiny spoilers ahead.
The Dark and Bloody #4
Best Nightmare-Inducing Imagery
When someone you know turns into a giant, murderous crow, with the intentions of tearing you apart, you’re going to have nightmares for the rest of your life.
The Dark and Bloody #4
Most Intense Scene
Following that frightening moment, readers are treated to two pages of some intense moments as the human-crow beast attacks. Apparently, a shotgun is still the easiest way to deal with crow people.
Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #6
Best Scene We Acted Out With Our Toys as Kids
As a child, you probably played with all of your toys, no matter what company the licenses came from. This week, Batman and Shredder had one epic battle, which was a moment stripped right from when we were kids.
Starfire #12
Best Time to Quit Drinking
If you’re ever wondering when you should call it a night after drinking, just look into the sky. If you see an orange woman riding a flying dolphin, it’s time to go to bed.
Vision #7
Best Joke
The Vision tries to connect with his ex-wife, Scarlet Witch, in bed by telling a joke, with an incredibly dry delivery. It’s still a solid joke though.
Gwenpool #2
Best Way to Get a Hero’s Attention
If you see Thor in the sky, lots of people are going to be yelling “Thor” to get her attention. However, if you want to make sure she’ll turn around, call her by her birth-name.
Earth 2: Society #12
Best Surprise Return
There was a huge surprise at the end of Earth 2 this week. One of the oldest supervillains at DC comics, Ultra-Humanite, made his return.
Web Warriors #7
Best Mixture of a ’90s Character and an Animal
Doctor Doom is pretty cool. Doom 2099 is pretty cool as well. What if you took the concept of Doom 2099 and made him a duck? Well, you’d get Ducktor Doom 2099. It’s ridiculous and wonderful all at the same time.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #3
Best Power Rangers Replacement
If there’s a Putty loose in town, and the Power Rangers aren’t available, who are you going to call? Well, Bulk and Skull got all dressed up to try and help some people that needed to be saved from a Putty.
Kennel Block Blues #4
Best Song and Dance Number During a Prison Escape
Trying to escape from prison can be intense and nerve-wracking. The easiest way to get back on all that stress is to turn it into a giant musical number.
All-New, All-Different Avengers #9
Best Stern Talking To
After a new Wasp meets the Avengers, Jarvis gets pretty upset and gives her a quick history lesson about who Janet Van Dyne was.
Deadpool #11
Best and Weirdest Getaway
Deadpool has always been a weird character, but the end of last week’s issue was super-weird, as Deadpool found himself on a horse, running from Mounties.
Silk #8
Best Almost Escape
Spider-Gwen may have an amazing amount of agility, but she’s not perfect. She almost makes an escape in issue #8 of Silk, but gets shocked at the end.
