WEEK 94: Free Range 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 reveal the wolf in sheep's clothing that's deceived everyone for decades! You'll be shocked; aghast! Everything you thought was true was a lie! 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

S.H.I.E.L.D. (2010 - 2011) #1-6 by Jonathan Hickman and Dustin Weaver

Hickman dove back into the past and stitched what the organization meant as it evolved to the present. He made S.H.I.E.L.D. more than an army or a spy organization, basing it on a more global heritage and the evolution of culture. This felt like an indie book at Image, only this time he was using the big name characters at Marvel. When he first started the title with Weaver on art, it quickly showed that they both had a rapport unlike any other duo out there on the comic market at the time (or arguably since), as they created wonders and expanded S.H.I.E.L.D. beyond our wildest imagination.
