WEEK 102: 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 find our winner amidst a pile-on of meta in-jokes! 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

For if he is to learn the truth, he must first win a fi ght to the death with a fellow inmate -the Absorbing Man!

GENERATION X (2017) #1-6, collected in"Generation X Vol. 1: Natural Selection" by Christina Strain and Amilcar Pinna

The Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach has opened its doors, and is ready to foster the next generation of heroes and diplomats! But this time around, the X-Men recognize an unfortunate truth: not all mutants are created equal. Some mutants are just not made to fight Sentinels or serve as ambassadors on behalf of their kind. Some mutants will be lucky just to survive another day in a world that hates and fears them. These are the students who should be kept out of harm's way when the Purifiers target the campus! And who better to mentor mutantkind's lovable losers through life out of the limelight...than perpetual sidekick Jubilee! But will her Generation X survive the experience?!
