1. 393 Winslade. I refer you to my previous remarks about simian creatures on covers.
2. 400 A Weston wowzer

1. 398
2. 402
3. 397
1) JUDGE DREDD MEGAZINE 399: Dredd taking on unseen MC1 Perps – I'm a sucker for painted art, and Brown's cover is awesome! I like that Dredd is defending some "innocent" citizens (no one is innocent...) and I like the dirty city details.
2) JUDGE DREDD MEGAZINE 396: Jack vs Dredd – A Nice creepy cover, the painted Higgin's art looks great.
3) JUDGE DREDD MEGAZINE 402: Lawson facing the innumerable horde - I love all the detail in the background.
1st - 395 - McCarthy - nuff said
2nd - 397 - ballsy
3rd - 402 - great 'you want to see action? Read THIS' cover.
I'm going all first name for this, Grazia style...
1st: Tiernon on 398 - excellent work!
2nd: Cliff on 397. I say!
3rd: Jake on 392. Nice re-imagining there.
Thanks for running this Pete! Gold star, that man!
1st. 399 Brown
2nd. 398 Trevallion
3rd. 392 Lynch
1st: 392 - fantastic, dynamic, 'movie' shot.
2nd: 402 - encapsulates Lawless in one image.
3rd: 397 - if you didn't know who Devlin was, you do now.
I will be voting but isn't there one more Megazine due this weekend coming (subs)/next Wednesday?

Of the two superb Winslades, I prefer the rampaging Jaru on 393 - youjust can't beat big purple ape wild-west SF wraparound action. Adam Brown's full-figure Dredd cover for 399 is so fully realised that it injects life into an over-familiar generic Dredd-under-fire subject. I'm no fan of the general style of comic art that Percival excels at, preferring lines and clarity over murkily swirling paints, but even I can't deny how brilliantly unsettling this re-design of 401 is. As with the Brown, this is a captivating take on an old staple.
As an irregular reader, I bought way more Megazines than usual this year, and the hook of excellent covers had a lot to do with that.
1st (3 points, if we're doing that)- 402
2nd (2 points)- 400
3rd (1 point)- 401

Quite a lot of dark covers this year but plenty of solid images that draw the fans. Maybe too few iconic images to draw the masses at the train stations and the like?
Three Points : 399 - Corking bit of action there
Two Points : 400 - Fitting anniversary cover with a nice contemplative Dredd
One Point : 395 - Possibly the year's most eye catching cover. Wasn't mad about the story but this cover encourages me to have another look.
1st Place (3 pts): 397 Devlin Waugh by Dylan Teague
2nd Place (2 pts): 399 Judge Dredd by Adam Brown
3rd Place (1 pt): 395 Chopper by Brendan McCarthy

Some pretty good covers this year:
1st Place (3 pts): 400 - Dredd - by the fabulous Chris Weston
2nd Place (2 pts): 403 - Robo Santa - by the timeless Cliff Robinson
3rd Place (1 pt): 395 - Chopper - by the mercurial Brendan McCarthy
Again I'm done with the flim flambin'
3rd = Meg 394 - why does the green and pink work? Don't know but it does.
2nd = Meg 393 - APE!
1st = Meg 395 - Psychedelic McCarthey monster - it doesn't get better than that!
Let's stick to the strips that redeem the Meg IMO...
1st. 492 - Lawless
2nd. 393 - Lawless
3rd. 397 - Devlin Waugh
1-401
2- 402
