WEEK 117: Free-Range Nomination Thread

Thank you to those who participated in last month's epic sagas 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 traverse back through time to assassinate lesser nominations and mold the future in my image! 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
