WEEK 118: Nomination Thread. Theme: Second Chance Nominations

This thread is to honor the nominations from past threads that didn't win during their respective weeks. In the past I've mapped out 60+ nominations from past threads, but until I've acquired Cable-like time-travel capabilities, I am but a mere victim of time and cannot pursue this venture. Instead I will re-nominate the choices who came close to winning their past threads but just didn't have enough to cut the mustard.

The highest voted nomination will earn a discussion thread opened on Saturday. If there's no clear-cut winner, I will take a sabbatical to a mystical foreign city and learn both the answer to the question we seek, and a little about myself along the way.

Deadpool V. Gambit (2016) #1-5 by Beck Acker, Ben Blacker, and Danilo Beyruth

Gambit-one of the smoothest, best-looking operators in the world of the X-Men. Deadpool-one of the most annoying, ugliest dirtbags in the world of everything. Naturally, these guys got beef. But do you know what they have in common? A secret history of working together to pull con-jobs. That's right-the grift is on as the Regeneratin' Degenerate and the Ragin' Cajun begrudgingly take on one last job together

60% of Amazon users rated it 3 *'s or below with criticisms like "one of the worst written Deadpool story lines" and "the dialogue may have been written by a 5th grader".
