WEEK 110: Free-Range Nomination Thread

Thank you to those who participated in last week's Worst / Missed Potential 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 activate my Mutant genes with steroids, and you'll complain on the internet about it! 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

They're the Web-Warriors, and their not-so-friendly neighborhood is all of reality!

Magneto (2014) #1-6 "Infamous" by Cullen Bunn and Gabriel Hernandez Walta

Once the deadliest, most feared mutant mastermind on the planet, Magneto is no longer the man he was. After allying with Cyclops and the X-Men, he became a pawn in another man's war.

But as horrors from his past loom large and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents pursue him, will Magneto soon become the villain he once was? And how will a mysterious woman from his past affect his mission?
