It’s a very special week. No, not that week. It’s David Shiffman defends his PhD thesis week! In honor of this auspicious event, here are the 8 most ridiculous shark moments in comic books.

Aquaman talks to fish.

Justice League #4

Reason 652 that “can talk to fish” is still the best super power ever. 

Batman batmans a shark.

Batman #251

This is basically the plot of Knightfall, but Batman is Bane and the shark is Batman.

Hulk Hulks out for Hulked out sharks.

Incredible Hulk #2

Note: Marvel really missed the chance to make a Greenland Shark pun.

King Shark, know thyself.

Secret Six #35

He’s a shark.

Whatever this is.

Flare #33

I have no idea what’s happening here, but we could all be so lucky as to make our final stand swinging a shark at a gorilla in a space suit while standing in the open jaws of a T-rex as smiling robots look on. Also UFO’s, rockets, and a mushroom cloud. What is this?

Everything Shark-Girl.

Street Sharks.

Vin Diesel approved.

…and finally…

Archie vs. Sharknado.

This actually happened.

Bonus: Orca Sub.

Sea Shepherd really did try to paint a submarine to look like a killer whale. It was not particularly effective.
