Deadpool & The Mercs For Money #4
Best Pie Shot
There's nothing more classic in the world of comedy than a good pie shot to the face. It's a great way to get belly-laughs and maybe a good way to get someone's attention.
Deadpool & The Mercs For Money #4
Best Way to Deal with Orb
Orb is a pretty disgusting character. He's a guy whose whole head is his eye. His reaction to being shot in the eye is pretty priceless.
Harley Quinn #28
Worst Way to Give Someone Your Phone Number
Normally, when you want to give someone your phone number you're interested in, you write it down on a piece of paper for them. Sometimes, you may have to write it on their hand. One thing you don't want to do is tattoo it on their butt.
Deadpool: Last Days of Magic #1
Best Place to Retreat to
Most bad guys have a pretty sweet secret lair in a swamp or a mountain. The baddies taking on Deadpool and company have a promenade to fall back to. That's a paved, public walkway by a waterfront. Pretty interesting place to fall back to.
Deadpool: Last Days of Magic #1
Best Reaction to What's Under a Scot's Kilt
What do people wear under their kilt? Some wear underwear, but many people like to go "commando." You can guess by the look on this guy's face that this Scot went "commando."
Red Thorn #7
Most Brutal Moment of the Week
Red Thorn isn't pulling any punches this week as Lauren who was looking into the Red Thorn prophecy got a spear right through her head. Pretty brutal stuff.
All-New Wolverine #8
Best Way to Take Down a Helicarrier
S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarriers are technological triumph in the Marvel Universe. While they look a lot like just a really big carrier ship, they can fly as well. How do you take one of these down? It's easy. Just summon Fin Fang Foom to pop up and bash it.
Sinestro #23
Best Way to Deal with Your Enemies
While the members of the Red Lantern Corps have rings that can protect them and make constructs, they also have the ability to puke blood onto people, which can burn them alive. It's deadly and disgusting.
The Astonishing Ant-Man #8
Best Way to Use Your Evil Powers
When fighting good guys and stealing stuff doesn't work out for you, a villain might go get a job at a high-end retail store at a mall. The Voice does this and uses his powers of command to sell an extra foot massager.
Future Quest #1
Most Exciting Appearance
Although Space Ghost is on the cover of the first issue of Future Quest, it was still an unbelievably exciting moment to see him pop up on the last page, even if he's planning on destroying Johnny Quest.
Spider-Man #4
Best Way to Make Your Best Friend Hate You
When you have a secret, sometimes you entrust it to your best friend. Sometimes that friend blurts it out to the new kid. That happened between Miles and Ganke this week, and Miles was not pleased.
Citizen Jack #6
Best Reaction to Winning an Election
Jack Northworthy won the Presidential election, with a little bit of help from a demon named Marlinspike. To celebrate, Jack, while on television dropped an "F bomb."
Old Man Logan #6
Best Part of Having Tank Treads for Legs
Bonebreaker made a surprising appearance in Old Man Logan this week. He was that Toy Biz action figure that you somehow owned had tank treads for legs. He lets Logan know why... well, Bonebreaker explains it better.
Old Man Logan #7
Best Thing About Having Knives in Your Fists
Apparently, Old Man Logan wants to make it easy for us this week. After Bonebreaker treads all over Wolverine. Logan gets up and lets him know about his claws.
Clean Room #8
Best Nightmare-Inducing Imagery
Last week, another Vertigo book, The Dark and Bloody, received this same category because Vertigo does disturbing very well. This week, Clean Room gave us all nightmares with whatever was happening on the final page.
Clean Room #8
Most Shocking Moment
Another red headed woman met her end this week in a Vertigo book. While the moments prior to Astrid talking to the gunman was incredibly tense, we didn't see her getting shot in the future, let alone actually dying.
Power Man & Iron Fist #4
Best Reboot of a Famous X-Men Move
Every time Colossus threw Wolverine, in the comics, it was called the "Fastball Special," and it happened quite often. Power Man and Iron Fist developed their own move this week called the "Fistball Special."
Superman American Alien #7
Best Way to Get Rid of a Villain
Superman had quite a battle with Lobo in this week's issue. This is the toughest character Superman has come across in this series. How does Superman defeat him? By throwing him into space.
