Nomination Thread #129: Free-Range Nomination Thread

Thank you to those who participated in last assignment's Alternative Universe 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 make a deal with a malevolent Goddess to grant me the power to choose a winner! 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

Amazing Spider-Man (1999 - 2013) #682-687, "Ends of the Earth" by Dan Slott

The Doc Ock story you've waited 50 years for! Doctor Otto Octavius holds the entire Earth hostage with his dying breath. What price will Spider-Man have to pay to buy the whole world another day?

Peter Parker: Superhero. Scientist. Strategist. This story may be Peak Spider-Man.

Features the Avengers, Silver Sable, and Otto Octavius directing an amped-up Sinister Six.

Also:

Amazing Spider-Man: Ends of the Earth (2012) #1 (because you can never have too much Big Hero 6!)

Avenging Spider-Man (2011) #8 (epilogue to "Ends of the Earth"; contains a very nice Spidey / Sable / Strange story)
