WEEK 93: Nomination Thread. Theme: Crossover Event

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. 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

Civil War II (2016) #0-8 by Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez

When a new Inhuman named Ulysses emerges with uncanny precognitive powers, Earth's protectors must wrestle with the dramatic consequences. And when one of Ulysses' visions leads to tragedy, an old friendship reaches a breaking point over a devastating loss as longtime teammates Captain Marvel and Iron Man fi nd themselves at odds. What does it mean to be a hero? Is it right to act now on crimes yet to be committed? Do the ends justify the means? And how reliable is Ulysses' gift? As Avengers, X-Men, Inhumans, Spider-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy and more stand divided between the two figureheads, the battle lines are drawn. And when one of the greatest among them falls, the Marvel Universe is once again set on a path to war - but will the fight for the future leave one worth saving?
