New check mark votes for WEEKLY COVER CONTEST:
You vote three check marks for your FIRST favorite
Two check marks for the SECOND favorite
One check mark for the THIRD favorite.
You do not need to vote for three covers, but it is strongly encouraged!!! Let's have fun with this!!!


A new theme will be chosen each week, so participants must find a comic book that fits the theme

- One entry (one book) per person.
- Must be a real comic book in circulation.
- Magazine size books are also okay.
- The book does not have to be in your collection.
- Variants are acceptable.
- The previous winner is allowed to win in this contest.

Each week we will vote on who had the best cover.

- Friday begins the new contest.
- Wednesday at 12 noon EST is the cutoff which starts voting that will go through Thursday at 11:59 PM EST.
- Please vote through the built-in "three check marks" system.
- Don't vote early.
- The winner will be the cover with the most check marks.
- Vote three check marks for a favorite, two for the second favorite and one for the third favorite.

The winner will choose the next theme and begin a new thread.

In the event of a tie, the deciding factor will be if the entry was of a book in a CBCS slab. If both books are in a CBCS slab (or neither are) then the cover with the most three star votes wins. If they are still tied, then the one with the most 2 star votes wins. If the tie remains, then a sudden death contest will decide the winner. All tied contestants are to enter a new cover based upon the theme of that contest. At 9 pm EST, Friday, the cover with the most votes wins.

Re-post these rules in your new thread to keep them easy to find and for new folks who want to play.

Just asking the contest creator for clarification as that doesn't seem to be in line with what the instructions suggest.


I actually had you and your comments from last week in mind when I thought about this theme. I tried to set the bar high, but I had a feeling that it wouldn't be too long before the polar opposite would be posted. If you look back on the previous 3+ years of this contest, you will see that no mater the topic, sexuality always manages to make an appearance or two (dozen). We are all knowledgable adults with a passion for comics, so I say let the voters decide what best "fits" the theme as we approach this holiday season. Good luck (and I hope you win one; it's not easy picking the next topic after 167 weeks).

I figured I’d pull my submission for this contest, seeing as it was one of the books that wasn’t “keeping it holy”. This is the first time I’ve EVER felt pressure to do this. It’s nothing personal against you Ed, or the subject this week. I’d just rather not be scrutinized for a work of art that appealed to me and/or possibly others which I wanted to share here.

@Zombiebigfoot - I would be the last person to judge anyone by a cover they posted. Hell, I just won the Sex Sells contest, so who am I to say what is appropriate or not?

If someone thinks it's inappropriate or doesn't fit the subject matter, then all they have to do is not vote for it. There have been covers I didn't like and said as much, but I've never requested to have one taken down. Not all tastes are the same good, bad, or otherwise. If it's inappropriate for the forum, then the mods will delete it. Other than that, I wouldn't worry about it.
