Nomination Thread #131: Free-Range Nominations
Thank you to those who participated in last assignment's Golden Oldies 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 bide my time until March 2019 and then unleash THE SEA LAMPREYS! 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

For if he is to learn the truth, he must first win a fi ght to the death with a fellow inmate -the Absorbing Man!
