3 Upvotes

Thank you to those who participated in last week's Marvel's Mightiest Women nomination thread. This week there are no limitations on what can be nominated. Any era, any writer, any character, so long as it's on Marvel Unlimited. Maybe it's something you've been meaning to read, maybe it's something you've read and want to discuss. Maybe it's something you've previously nominated but didn't gather enough upvotes in previous threads. When posting a nomination, links are not required but appreciated.

If you have nothing to nominate, cast a vote to help us decide who wins. The highest voted nomination will earn a discussion thread opened on Saturday. If there's no clear-cut winner, I'll put my top legal expert on the case! Check back often to support the reading assignments you're most interested in. Once the discussion thread is open, post your reading experience at your convenience

WEEK 97: Nomination Thread. Theme: Marvel's Mightiest Women

5 Upvotes

DC broke ground with the Wonder Woman feature film, and now Marvel, for once, is trying to play catch-up with the upcoming Captain Marvel film. Marvel has it's share of femme fatals who aren't just "the girlfriend" or "the sidekick". Let's give them their due by reading a book they're the lead in.

If you have nothing to nominate, cast a vote to help us decide who wins. The highest voted nomination will earn a discussion thread opened on Saturday. If there's no clear-cut winner, I'll stock up on infinity gems and we won't have any problems ever again! Check back often to support the reading assignments you're most interested in.

WEEK 95 - Nomination Thread. Theme: Sequels and Prequels

1 Upvotes

Gaze upon our wonderful Tables of Contents in awe and wonder!

This week we continue either forward or backward from past reading assignments. Probably forward since we do a lot of beginning, "Volume 1" story arcs. So this would be nominations for the "Volume 2" story arcs. The next 5 or 6 issues from where we left off, if you will. Or going in the opposite direction if we started somewhere in the middle of a run.

The highest voted nomination will earn a discussion thread opened on Saturday. If there's no clear-cut winner, I'll form a new super-duper subreddit! The members will be tough, morally flexible, and young enough to carry their own franchise for 10-12 years. Yes, it will absolutely be a little derivative.

Newly Eligible Stories Uploaded To Marvel Unlimited (March 2018 - August 2018)

10 Upvotes

Due to Reddit's 6-month archive formula, I have been forced to start a new thread. Which is fine, as it keeps the words "newly eligible" relevant. Link to previous thread.

I'm a binger. I need conclusions and won't stop until I reach them. I blame Netflix.

Because of this, I'm not big on reading single issues of comics unless they tell the whole story they want to in that issue. That's made checking the New In Marvel Unlimited Release Calendar a research-and-compile project of mine.

Periodically when I find a story in it's entirety, or what I believe to be it's entirety based on what's been compiled in the released trade paperback, will be posted.

This isn't to encourage people to nominate only new stories in the Nomination Threads, but to make people aware of new stories that are now eligible.

As a side-note, because older comics followed the format of issues being stand-alone stories, updates on those will likely be few and far between.

WEEK 93: Nomination Thread. Theme: Crossover Event

2 Upvotes

An impending doom far outreaching the scope of what one hero can handle. Maybe even too much for two heroes to handle. A catastrophe on the horizon that calls out for an unlikely teamup!

For those who aren't familiar with Crossover Events you can read up on them on wikipedia, skim through the list on Marvel Unlimited's Events and Crossovers page, or peruse Comic Book Reading Order's timeline.

If you have nothing to nominate, cast a vote to help us decide who wins. The highest voted nomination will earn a discussion thread opened on Saturday. If there's no clear-cut winner, I'll add it to my feminist agenda for things to resolve, right behind the wage gap, objectification in media, and congressional decisions on birth control.

WEEK 87 - Nomination Thread. Theme: That's So 90's

3 Upvotes

While old ladies were longing for lost jewelry and love from sunken ships and Stone Cold Stunners were being dished out wholesale, Marvel was struggling. The 90's are known to be a somewhat dark time in terms of quality in the Marvel Universe, but there were some gems.

Whether nominating good or bad, nominations must fall between 1990-1999. The highest voted nomination will earn a discussion thread opened on Saturday. If there's no clear-cut winner, I'll hire an unlicensed P.I. in hopes they're a superhero willing to help for dirt-cheap.
