HM - ZenArcade, Supersurfer, allied72, Skullmo, Albion
Well done all!
1. James Newell --Genius. And a fantastic drawing
2. Alistermac - Just a great image
3. Ant O'Donnell- Nice drawing
HM. Martintds- Looks like a genuine 70s era cover
Toughie, but I'm going with.....
1: SKD Awesome drawing, as ever.
2: Stephen Eyre. Nice work and very topical!
3: Bhuna. Could be straight from the prog.
H.Ms Allistermac and Ant O'Donnell Both gorgeously drawn. Top skills, sirs, top skills.
Deciding on this comp is the hardest yet. Some of the concepts are so brilliant, and some of the art is so brilliant, and deciding what weight to give each factor is almost impossible... I'll have to think some more.
1. Allied 72 - Fantastic concept, brilliantly sustained in a McMahon gel. Love the mapped designs of the Warriors.
2. James Newell - What if '70s Barry Windsor Smith had done covers for Misty? Incredible.
3. SKD - would have been No. 1 if Ukko had had a VCs helmet... just think how well his ears would go with those antennae!
HM-1: Fungus - So, so good, but maybe the layout dropped it out of the Top 3.
HM-2: ZenArcade - a lovely concept, and colourfully rendered.
HM-3: Ant O'Donnell - extraordinary art stylings, but I just wasn't feeling the concept enough.
To be honest, I could have voted for everyone: I love Skullmo's Johnny Kreelman, Johnnstress' Durham Red, Albion's Skimmaster, Alastair's Joe Lardd, Archie's atmospheric CJ Krysler, Leigh and RaggedMan's strips, Toothsoup's debut, Pete's gag, Supersurfer's line-up, hell I'm just listing them all now.... Because.
Best comp in a while.

Great idea

HM's: Leigh S, garyodart, antodonnell, johnnystress
Excellent comp, thanks all.
1. SKD - ...Slaine Had Been Created for Tornado and "Futured Up" for 2000ad? - This is awesome! Brilliant rendering, very much like a mash-up of McMahon and Pugh to my eyes, which can only mean maximum thrill-power!
2. James Newell - ...Nemesis Was Pitched to Misty? - Brilliant design, and a top idea.
3. Martintds - ...Rico Killed Dredd? - Fairly certain we actually got this story in a special some years back? This should have been the cover, brilliant stuff.
HM - Stephen Eyre - ...Torquemada joined the debate on the Uk's EU membership? - I'd recommend sending this to Farrage, but he'd probably use it as an election poster! Great image, with an even greater tagline under the signiature :)
Thanks, as allways, to the InsanePoochAutomaton for making these competitions happen. You rock, sir!
1st - SKD - ...Slaine Had Been Created for Tornado and "Futured Up" for 2000ad? - Lovely exiting drawing

Honourable mention - Everyone else
Some top entries :-)
1. James Newell - ...Nemesis Was Pitched to Misty?
Great, wacky idea and like the art
2. Allistermac - ...Dredd Had an Underactive Thyroid?
Smashing art
3 Grayodart - Dredd Was Piloted by a Tiny Disgruntled Alien?
Daft MIB homage but the kind of eye-catching imagery that 2000AD is famous for IMHO
This has to be one of my favorite comps so far, some ingenious ideas from my fellow Squaxx.
Very, very hard to choose, but it's;
1) James Newell- (absolutely genius gender-swap for the Warlock Witch, excellent cover design too).
2) Archie (accomplished as always. I really want Dredd to visit this alternate time-line in the comic).
3) Martinds (amazing artwork, hints of Simon Fraser. I want to see more!).
HM) Ragged Man (I like my meta with an extra side of meta).
What a fantastic month of entries :P. Well done to everyone who entered.
1. SKD - ...Slaine Had Been Created for Tornado and "Futured Up" for 2000ad?

2. Archie – Chief Judge Krysler. Now there's a story I'd like to see.
3. DoomBot – Dredd Smiles? Possibly the most sinister and disturbing image I've seen in many a year.
