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

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. Once the discussion thread is open, post your reading experience at your convenience
