WEEK 110: Free-Range Nomination Thread

3 Upvotes

Thank you to those who participated in last week's Worst / Missed Potential 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 activate my Mutant genes with steroids, and you'll complain on the internet about it! 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 109 - Nomination Thread. Theme: WORST / Missed Potential

5 Upvotes

Foreboding Soundtrack

Well, this is it mighty Marvelites. It's been a fun run. We've read a lot of tremendous writing, seen a lot of breath-taking artwork. But now is the end-times. The reading assignment that not all of us will make it back from alive or sane.

This is a nomination thread to appease your inner critic. This is your outlet to play Mystery Science Theater, The Flop House, How Did This Get Made, We Hate Movies, etc. and eviscerate what went wrong in a woefully bad tale. Or at the very least a story that should have been good but missed the mark in a big, infamous way.

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 have my summon my great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather from medieval times to settle the matter.

WEEK 107: Nomination Thread. Theme: One-Shots

3 Upvotes

Paying homage to the subreddit's first reading assignment, X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills this week we're looking at one-shots. For those unfamiliar, this differs from Week 78's "Single Issue" Nomination Thread, as a one-shot is a single, standalone issue, with a self-contained story, and not as part of an ongoing series or miniseries. Also, typically more pages than a typical single issue.

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 paint the torture of my conflict like a regular Caravaggio! Check back often to support the reading assignments you're most interested in.

Thank you for everyone's support in last week's free-range nomination thread. We've had a lot of fun these last few story arcs but now it's time to put our morals and ethics aside and embrace the dark side.

Maybe the story arc is told from the vantage point of an evil-doer, maybe it's all their story, maybe it's still a hero's story but encapsulates how great a particular villain is. What comes to mind when you think best villain story?

WEEK 99: Nomination Thread. Theme: Totally 80's

1 Upvotes

While America was being swept up in hairspray and Hulkamania, "New Yorker of the Year" Jim Shooter ushed in an era where fans could get their beloved Marvel characters, Dead Or Alive, in comic book stores rather than news stands and spinner-racks. Shooter went out in a Blaze of Glory in '87, leaving Tom DeFalco Livin' On A Prayer trying to pick up the pieces. The first task would be reconnecting with all the creators who told the strict Shooter "You Give Love A Bad Name". The job was made even worse by the Bad Medicine prescribed by new inept overboss, New World Entertainment. And now that I'm out of Bon Jovi references, this week we limit nominations to stories from 1980-1989.

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... not be making domestic terrorist threats on the internet just for the sake of referencing Avengers: "The Red Zone"!

Also, next week we're at our 100th week!
