3rd- 416

[Funt Solo]

First place is M423: you can't argue with Cliff Robinson (& Dylan Teague), serving up a Weston-ish cityscape to get lost in behind the towering figure of the grumpy chin himself.



Second place is M424: Greg Staples does a close-up of Dredd's sweaty, grimacing fizzog - check out the chipped paint detailing on the helmet.



Third place is M417: a great action shot from Karl Richardson, and the perfect matching cover line pun: "smash and crab".

1. 427 - festive menace from Nick Percival. who brings a great and atmospheric take to the Dark Judges.
2. 424 - brilliantly iconic image by Greg Staples.
3. 423 - the latest in a countless series of fantastic covers by the great Cliff Robinson.

A double-dip of Robinson/Teague for me:

3rd 419 Devil in Devlin Waugh, it's just so vicious!
2nd 425 God of Death, chilling work from Nick Percival
1st 423 Can't argue with Funt's reasoning - top Dredd pose in the front, epic and super-detailed cityscape in the background.

For me, it's always about the power of the cover rather than just the art, and this was a strong year for the Meg, with nothing that was poor. However, I have to choose, so:

1: 423 — striking pose; great clarity; great drafting
2: 421 — visually arresting, even if I didn't care much for the story itself
3: 422 — wonderfully dynamic

HMs: 420; 419

For a while I wasnt going to vote in the Meg covers poll- largely because covers should attract readers and thanks to those plastic bags, no reader is ever attracted by a Meg cover. Plus, I very much hate the current Meg logo and design.

However, today I am unexpectedly filled with the Joy's of xmas and so here are the votes of the Small Blue Jury:

3rd place: 421- because its dynamic and exciting and a hell of an image that really should have appeared on the front of it's own magazine, not the Meg.

In 2nd place: 418. Because Lawless.

In 1st place: 426, because it was a striking Dredd image by a freshly-minted droid.

I just wish the covers had a chance to stand out on the racks.
