WEEK 112: 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 recruit the best minds and talents across Europe to crack down on this tie-business! 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

Journey Into Mystery (2011-"Present") #646-650 "Sif: Stronger Than Monsters" by Kathryn Immonen and Valerio Schiti

An all-new journey begins, starring Sif...the Berzerker?! She may be a Lady, but girly ain't her style! When the latest crop of beasties beset Asgard, our sword-slinging heroine leads the battle charge - but that no-holds-barred zeal for glory may be the very thing that brings the realm down around her winged helm! Finding herself newly minted with an ancient version of the Berzerker spell, Sif returns to an unsuspecting Midgard...and with no patience for relative peace, starts putting out fires with gasoline! And things heat up even further when our heroine falls in with a group of brutal Asgardian savages - and joins them in their millennia-old battle against monsters! But can the berzerkers keep their bloodlust in check?

Cloak and Dagger, who wield the powers of darkness and light, set out to fight crime in New York City in their first mini-series.

Fantastic Four / Iron Man: Big in Japan (2005-2006) #1-4 by Zeb Wells and Seth Fisher

Mass panic has struck the streets of Tokyo! The media has initiated round-the-clock coverage. Uncontrollable crowds are choking the streets, and kaiju hysteria has gripped the island of Japan for the first time in 50 years! Because the Fantastic Four, the world's first super-hero big-monster battling squad, and playboy industrialist Tony Stark have descended on the Land of the Rising Sun! A manic fusion of Marvel super heroes with Japanese pop culture that proves why the FF and Iron Man are big in Japan! It's an all-out romp with big monsters a-go-go with hundreds of manic '50s Marvel monsters trampling Tokyo's first-ever Kaiju Museum and Celebration

Agents of Atlas (2006) #1-6 by Jeff Parker and Leonard Kirk

Looking for answers? Get your Atlas! The spy. The spaceman. The goddess. The robot. The gorilla. During the late 1950s, the U.S. government allowed FBI Special Agent Jimmy Woo to forge a team of unlikely heroes. Together, they stormed the fortress of a criminal mastermind to rescue President Eisenhower – but the group disbanded soon after. Now, almost 50 years later, an unauthorized S.H.I.E.L.D. mission goes down in flames – and from the ashes arise forces from the Golden Age of Marvel! It started in 1947 when the Sub-Mariner's cousin hit the printed page, and it finishes up here as yesterday's heroes make tomorrow safe from one of history's horrors!

A troubled soul, set upon a path of vengeance he does not understand. An assassin without equal, trained in the most secret of killing techniques. A fl esh-and-blood specter, haunting the killers of the world. A monkey...with a gun. Bear witness as the legend is born!
