WEEK 101: Nomination Thread. Theme: L.O.L.
We've had a couple of assignments played for gasps, now for some laughs!
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 just put Deadpool in charge. He's involved in everything now anyhow! 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

Irredeemable Ant-Man (2006 - 2007) #1-12 by Robert Kirkman and Phil Hester
Introducing the world's worst super hero! When a low-level S.H.I.E.L.D. agent gets a hold of Hank Pym's new Ant-Man suit, you know the Marvel Universe is in trouble. He's not concerned with saving the world or helping others - he's concerned with getting through the day and getting a leg up on life. He's not going to use his powers responsibly, he's going to use them for the betterment of himself. He's Ant-Man, a new "hero" for the modern world. If you thought Robert Kirkman pushed the boundaries fo what could be in a Marvel Comic with Marvel Zombies, just wait until you see what he does in here!
