Best Explanation For Uncle Ben’s Words Of Wisdom

Best Hug This Week
Kraven the Hunter may be a bit of a jerk. How many times has he hunted Spider-Man? He even tranquilized him, buried him alive, and dressed up in a Spider-Man costume. Regardless, he’s always been perfectly behaved within the pages of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. He may be turning over a new leaf in this issue. Be sure to read the after credits/after letters page scene.

Best Reason To Use Caution When Selecting Superhero Gadgets
A big part of being a vigilante is having really cool gadgets, especially if you don’t have superpowers. When Selina is picking out some new gear, she realizes that not everything is as cool as it may appear.
Death Or Glory #4
Craziest Getaway
What do you do if you’re about to jump into a stolen getaway car and the bad guys start shooting? It seems you dive under the car and hold on for dear life. This car scene is pretty nuts, which makes sense since it from the minds of Rick Remender and Bengal.

Daredevil #606
Best Example That Bad Guys Are Dumb-Dumbs
Daredevil is a super-tough and skilled hero. Even he knows there are other ways to deal with a crowd of fighting super-villains. He easily clears the area by mentioning he texted the Hulk. Imagine Hulk trying to text on a phone with his giant fingers.
Farmhand #2
Best Appearance By…The Batman?
