65. Foreground Eclipse - Each And Every Word Leaves Me Here Alone
Nominated by: Shonen_Bat (5/6 remaining)
http://www.fg-eclipse.net/image/material/each_jacket.jpg

I enjoy covers that show a dichotomy or inner conflict in a character. This one is pretty obvious and on the nose but is still an enjoyable concept. Left shows peace and beauty, right shows chaos and destruction, pretty cut and dry. The artstyle is also very different, there's a sharp realism to the bamboo stalks especially. I think it would've been interesting to have angel wings on the left to contrast with the fire wings on the right for improved symmetry, but then again, one-winged angel is a real concept. I will also say the character design isn't particularly outstanding.

66. Action Comics #738
Nominated by: scarletspeed7 (5/6 remaining)
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/6/66/Action_Comics_Vol_1_738.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140111201550

From the infamous Superman Red/Superman Blue era, Action Comics #738 is a striking cover with bold colors and an intriguing concept. I really like how the outline of Superman's body is transposed over the bolts of lightning, it's a really neat look, and makes the brightness of Superman's new powers look even more incredible. The expression on Superman's face, a mixture of bold bravery and confidence really puts the appropriate cap on the whole portrait.

This contest was okay, had characters to support to at least the top 3, it was just a shame that the 40s and 30s eliminations hurt this contest a lot.

Oh I think you're right actually, I feel dumb for not making connections to more literary characters now. The guy in front is Sherlock Holmes I think too.

67. Victoriana
Nominated by: Simoun (4/6 remaining)
https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic2597432.jpg

This artwork is very interesting and weird to look at at first, it feels very stiff, and doesn't attempt to stand out with bright colors. It stands on its own with great character design that invokes era appropriate clothing with a slight fantastical bend. The addition of the Invisible Man really swerves it towards the fantasy though, and nearly feels out of place here, but it's the Invisible Man so it's still cool. Elsewhere, I enjoy the sort of looking-glass frame the characters are placed in as well as the gears that populate the outer ring of the cover, which feels like it invokes steampunk.

68. Rayguns and Rocketships
Nominated by: Simoun (5/6 remaining)
https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic2232689.jpg

Rayguns and Rocketships is a cover that revels in classic, pulp B-movie sci-fi imagery from the golden age of the 50s. It's a menagerie of pop culture that draws from many sources, The Rocketeer, Forbidden Planet, Star Trek, Buck Rogers, probably even more. I really like the old, tattered look of the cover to give it even more of that retro feel. The action is high and chaotic, and looks like a really fun time which is a plus. Despite all the sources it draws from, it comes together cohesively in a really well-executed way.

A director wants to make a realistic film and ends up killing his main actor by the end of it, which becomes part of the film he makes.

69. Arm of the Sphinx
Nominated by: Gatarix (4/6 remaining)


This is a very striking and immediately noticeable cover, with a stark blue mechanical arm rising out of the sands below, suggesting deep rooted mystery and a threat ages in the making. Even the way the buildings are stack suggest a reality that feels more dystopian than our own, whilst maintaining identifiable elements like castle ramparts. It's very cool and eye-catching.

70. Atlas Shrugged 2
Nominated by: Behindthecurve (0/5 remaining)
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91MzYQQt7IL._SY445_.jpg

Of all the Atlas Shrugged posters and covers, this is the one that would intrigue me the most. The gears on either side of the main characters appear to be melting off the sides of buildings which is an interesting visual to me personally, and suggest a world on the brink of falling apart as the gears running everything crumble. The way the title of Atlas Shrugged is hung up on bridge wires is also pretty neat. Once again though, the characters on this poster are rather unremarkable.

71. The Three Body Problem
Nominated by: Nfun (0/3 remaining)


This cover feels like it's trying way too hard to be interesting and unique and has way too much going on in the background. I have no clue what that thing in the background is supposed to be but it looks generically alien and futuristic. The same sort of bland alien pyramid sits comfortably below. However, despite these less than stellar objects, I actually think it's composed really nicely, with the tip of the pyramid perfectly aligning with the center of the circular object above. The use of concentric circles too is very eye appealing. Too bad it was squandered with objects that don't really have the same sort of eye catching draw.

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/e/e5/Halo3coverart.JPG/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/350?cb=20131024014002

I still have pretty fond memories of this classic cover. I've always enjoyed the beautiful shining orange color of the bottom half and the way it ever so slightly shines off the Master Chief's armor. The space of the cover is used well, placing Master Chief to the left as he marches on to the next objective to the clear area of the right. This sort of "solo military guy" cover is cliche, but I think Halo 3 nails a different feeling from the rest of the pack.
