Was a good three months.
1st - 342 - Colin MacNeil
2nd - 343 - Cliff Robinson & Dylan Teague
3rd - 333 - Henry Flint
3rd - Fay Dalton's m335 : Not at all a Reaper fan and what makes the series even more excruciating is how good Fay Dalton's art is. I kept imagining what the endless wasted pages of Langley's friend's faces would look like through Dalton's hands. The Reaper Files in this issue was a heartbreaking eye-opener and this cover is fantastically good.
2nd - Henry Flint's m333: Again a forgettable story but a superb and striking nightmarish samurai vision from the psychedelic maestro. Barnstormin'
1st - Alex Ronald's m341: A long overdue return from the glorious Mr Ronald - and if the rumour mill is on target this won't be the last cover we see from him - I adore that unique Ronald Dredd look and to see it rendered in his more recent lush digi-painted style is astonishin' MORE MORE MORE MORE
Top and number one: Alex Ronald, Meg 341.
Second: Colin MacNeil, Meg 342.
Third: Henry Flint, Meg 340.

IIIIN one - 341 - Alex Ronald - Sexy nun and Dredd's big swede. Bootiful.
IIIIN two - 343 - Cliff Robinson/Dylan Teague - Dredd nuts a santa-scrote. BAM! You're hooked.
IIIIN three - 332 - Jon Davis Hunt - Dredd and Anderson - Not only is it a lovely picture but seeing the two of them together again gave me a warm glow.

1st - 336 What to say, a stunning and standout cover.
2nd - 335 A close second here. I love Daltons stuff it has a real Seinkewicz feel to it.
3rd - 341 Mr Ronald with an amazing cover. He could give the other Alex, Mr. Ross a run for his money!!

Tough choice.
1st: 340. Powerful. Recognisable. Dredd.
2nd: 333. Great composition. Eye-catching.
3rd: 337. I can't stand the series, but it's a cover likely to grab people, albeit one that might make mum say to little Timmy PUT THAT BACK.

Difficult choice, Fay Dalton's and Flint's movie Dredd were also contenders for me.
1 - 340
2 - 332
3 - 336
3rd place - 338 Robinson / Teague Dredd bursting a perp with his Lawmaster puts a big dumb smile on my face!
2nd place - 340 Henry Flint. Iconic Dredd image that looks even better with the shattered glass foreground (and brings back happy memories of a Bolland cover for what I seem to remember was a holiday special)
1st place - 337 Clint Langley. This is just stunning looking, and best of all it reminds me of my favourite Bad Company character, Thrax! I could look at this for hours!
It has to be said that all covers were of a very high standard and all artists can be very proud of their work.

Three points - 335 (Dalton)
Two points - 341 (Ronald)
One point - 340 (Flint)
If it was just about composition and visual impact, the peerless Henry Flint would have walked away with it. The man's on fire at the moment.
Dalton's style is like crack as far as my aesthetic is concerned, though. She must be the House of Tharg's most exciting discovery in years, and it's rare to encounter an artist whose style and technical ability are so perfectly honed at the time of their first published comics work. Dalton gets my vote as the talent most likely to be annoyingly poached by American publishers, so more please, while she's still in TMO's price range.
Painted (or digitally painted) interior art doesn't seem to be viable on a weekly basis anymore, but if Greg Staples's forthcoming Dark Judges special proves a profitable model for further prestigious one-offs, Alex Ronald and his sumptuous palette get my vote for the job. There must be a twelve part script about sex-bots sitting in a drawer somewhere.
(1) 335. First Meg I ever bought and that Dalton cover is delicious...
(2) 338. I think it was Pete who said this should be on a T-Shirt. He's bloody right you know...
(3) 339. It's Paul Marshall! Huzzah for Paul Marshall! Oh, and I own the pens for this as well ;)
1st place - 340 - iconic!
2nd place - 335 - love that Fay Dalton image - like an old school movie poster :)
3rd place - 334 - cool pose

#1, 336, Mr Garbett -- very simple, very striking, very memorable
#2, 332, Mr Hunt Davis -- Dredd 'n' Anderson on a cover? Need I say more; need I say more.

1st 340 Of course.
2nd 335 Hated the series, but that's still a great cover.
3rd 338 Cause it's harking back to the classic early days for me.
