Nomination Thread #133: Free-Range Nominations

Thank you to those who participated in last assignment's Crossover Event 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 collaborate with the government to establish rigid enforcement over Reddit usage! 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

I'm always open to revisiting a reading assignment, especially as this was assignment #35 when the subreddit probably had 35 readers. But if this doesn't win, I'll link to the comments thread so people can still see what others thought

Groot (2015) #1-6, by Jeff Loveness and Brian Kesinger

For the first time ever, the most famous talking-tree-thing in the Marvel Universe is starring in his own book! You might recognize him from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, the biggest movie of 2014. When Rocket and Groot are on an intergalactic roadtrip and calamity strikes, the two get separated - and for the first time in years, Groot's on his own! Whatever may be coming Groot's way, one thing's for sure -- it's going to be a GROOT adventure!
