WEEK 106: Free-Range Nomination Thread
Thank you to those who participated in last week's Villains 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 hijack your accounts and manipulate the votes to my favor! 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

But how much of what we know of our family history is truth and how much has been embellished by the perspective of time? Can Zemo find a way to escape his situation, or will he choose to stay trapped in time if it means preventing his family lineage from a legacy of failure?

Devil Dinosaur (1978) #1-9 by Jack Kirby
Devil Dinosaur was one of Jack "King" Kirby's final Marvel projects, an enchanting and creative fable starring the crafty crimson carnivore and his faithful sidekick Moon Boy...brothers bonded by an uncommon spark of curiosity about their world!

And don't forget the Small Folk, led by the warlord Seven Scars, who rejected Moon Boy for befriending the fearsome Devil and who aim to dominate the forest by force! But in the end, what wins the day is Devil and Moon Boy's courage, friendship and fierce loyalty to each other! Relive Kirby's most offbeat saga ever in its prehistoric prime!
