44. Miami Connection
Nominated by: Mega Mana (0/5 remaining)
http://drafthousefilms.com/_uploads/films/29251/miamiconnection_poster-final__large.jpg

If I learned anything from watching RedLetterMedia over the years, its that movie covers and posters more often than not are complete liars. Low-budget schlock titles and rip-off B-movies want your eyeballs and they want your dollars, so they're not above putting awesome shit on their covers to get said eyeballs and dollars. Sitting down to actually watch the flick is another story, as the films either fail to live up to the cover or lack what's on the cover completely. Miami Connection is a different beast however. For once, what you see IS what you get! What a novel concept. So yeah, you're in for motorcycle ninjas, cheesy rock and roll, and yes, you asked for it, someone even gets to open up a letter they got in the mail! And every part of it is beautiful. The artwork here is just shoddy enough to be charming and just good enough to accurately show what's going to be happening. Sure, everyone has potatoes for faces and there's plently of awkward kung-fu and gun-holding but that warm Miami sunset will make sure everything is all right in the end.

45. Jungle Shooting
Nominated by: Zyxyz0 (3/6 remaining)
https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic1184807.jpg

Bloody hell this cover is some brutal shit. It's "definitely" the type of cover I envision when I see the title "Jungle Shooting". The detail in this scene is really impressive, especially the tiger, with each aspect of its fur coming to life with realistic coloring and the way it lays, falls and sits. The way the goat(?, honestly not sure what animal this is) is held in the air by the tiger's mighty jaws feels grounded and wickedly savage in a way unbecoming of a simple board game. That's honestly my favorite thing about this cover. You're not just going to sit down and play some Jungle Shooting. No, you're going to go to that jungle yourself, you're going to encounter that tiger, and you're going to be its next meal!

46. Generation X (Vol. 2) #5
Nominated by: Mega Mana (1/5 remaining)
https://tinyurl.com/ycc45kw2

This cover is pretty straight-forward but still I enjoy the concept of this cover quite a bit. It really portrays the visceral horror and shock of suddenly having a bunch of eyes grow all your body quite well,as Eye-Boy aka Trevor Hawkins screams out in panic and has disheveled look. Anyone with ommetaphobia will instantly be triggered by this, and if you don't, it's sure enough to develop ommetaphobia for you! One thing I find strange is that Eye-Boy looks really feminine on this cover, I don't remember him looking this woman-like in the actual pages of the comic. Some other minor points I like is the way the X in the title separates the cover and how they squeeze the other members of Gen-X into the little space to the right.

47. Ys Origin (PS4)
Nominated by: NBIceman (5/6 remaining)
http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/433155-ys-origin-playstation-4-front-cover.jpg

I think I really enjoy huge towers looming in the background. They are overwhelming with their presence, demanding attention, serving as a constant reminder for difficulty and dread. Usually a scene like this would be cast in darkness, but Ys Origin keeps hope alive with blue skies and green tides as two characters boldly look on towards challenges ahead. Despite this monolithic spire being ever-present in view, this cover is one that gives me optimism and the strength to carry on.

48. A Gathering of Shadows
Nominated by: Gatarix (2/6 remaining)
9G9t2hn

First thing I love is the bold use of the color red. I think it's funny Gatarix nominated 2 covers that have arms rising up; I like how it's used here especially, with the use of many arms reminding me of the hallway scene in Repulsion. It feels grabby, almost a little claustrophobic, overwhelming. I absolutely adore how the arms have white lines on them representing city streets, illustrating that these arms have control over the area through a larger conspiracy. I like the assassin lady's design, minimalistic and another great use of color, almost using the red of the arms in defiance. Overall, the composition is excellent and centered well, and this cover would attract anyone to this book.

I appreciate scarletspeed7 for getting me more into comics than I'd ever been and introducing me to great stories and characters.

I appreciate Wicklebee for attempting to get me out of my comfort zones and telling me to play Planetarian :3 and giving me animes to watch that I swear I will one day.

I appreciate vcharon for putting up with my obscure survival horror and other VGC noms every month.

I appreciate Johnbobb for helping me out immensely with the Video Game Locations gauntlet and for just being a general fun dude to chat with.

Nominated by: Mega Mana (2/5 remaining)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/catch_22.jpg

It's a bit hard for me to explain why exactly I like this cover so much. I just do. It doesn't do anything fancy, it's few elements of design are sparse, yet it's so striking and appealing in its simplicity. I really think the huge eye catching logo and author's name go a long way to making this work as well as it does too. It just makes you want to pick it up and check it out!

50. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/uncharted/images/7/7b/Uncharted_2_box_artwork.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150626173257

Naughty Dog pretty much knocked it out of the park with this cover. Whereas the rest of the series instead relishes in generic covers that do little to relay the adventure the player is about to embark, Uncharted 2 has several elements to it that better clue in the player about what they're about to experience. Drake here is comparatively much more in danger, hanging precariously from a derailed train as cargo and another train car rain down below. Rushing snow and water creates an atmosphere that's cold and unpleasant. The ancient totem and parchment go a long way to making this feel like a true historical, archaeological adventure. With all the elements here, it's really hard to deny this being a great cover to describe the game perfectly.
