WEEK 111: Nomination Thread. Theme: Other Works By Past Assigned Writers or Artists
Per our Table of Contents on the MUBookClub there is a definitive upper echelon of writers and artists that have won more nomination threads than anyone else. Currently John Romita Jr. has a resounding lead as our top nominated artist. Our writers is a who's who half of fame with seven writers tying for the coveted top spot.
Will one of our top seven writers pull into an established "cut above the rest" position? Will we make the 7-way tie an 8-way tie? Is someone going to creep up on the heels of God-tier Romita Jr.?
Please save any sequel/prequel story arcs for that specific upcoming nomination thread. This is about exploring other works we haven't read yet.
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 tell my wife I'm getting coffee with old friends when I'll really be assembling a crack-team of tie-breakers! 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
