49. NEXT MEN -- Ugh, the whiteness! This one wins because of lines in the whiteness!
50. iZOMBIE -- This was a tough one, but I'll give it to the cover on a cover gimmick!
51. KATY KEENE -- Because slutty Katy appeals to me more than Fairy Princess Katy!
52. DEADLY CLASS -- Pretty sure I've had dreams like this!

49. NEXT MEN, if I must. AND I AIN'T GOTTA, because CANCER. So keep that in mind next time (kindly smile)
50. iZOMBIE for sure, Ellie looks GREAT! I'm still a bit bitter over the TV show ditching her. In fact, I stopped watching about 4 eps in.
51. Settle yer gay ass down, K.O, and face it-- you don't please your woman. Now go to the gay bar and see if you can please a dude. I sense great success for you there!
52. IMHUMAN. BEAT HIS ASS, Medusa!

45. FAMOUS FUNNIES. Both gags are weak. Popular Comics art is flat. FF wins for the green chair!
46. REG'LAR FELLERS HEROIC COMICS. Leading has charm, no doubt. But it's gotta be Heroic.
47. TEEN-AGE ROMANCES. Yes, another Baker battle. Going Steady a fine cover, and a very different flavor -- a happy couple enjoying a cozy moment. But that microscope!
48. HAWKMAN. Atom has SA whimsy, and I appreciate that, but that Hawkman cover can't be denied. Pencils, colors, framing, the whole package.
49. DARK AVENGERS.
50. VINYL UNDERGROUND.
51. KATY KEENE. The Kolors!
52. DEADLY CLASS.

49. Dark Avengers - tough as both are so dull. The Avengers figures are better drawn. While the next men seem to have landed somewhere causing the lines, the lines are there so people won't think it's another Snowbird issue from Byrne. 50. Vinyl Underground - That portcullis could make it a final issue in more ways than one, if it falls on their heads. JLA jaded me to covers within covers for izombie. 51. Katy Keene - Not so much for the joke, but for the fairy/flower other cover and that Katy has animals lined up to attack and devour K.O. to cover her wayward ways. 52. Deadly Class - I like Medusa's hair as a blood in the water effect a lot. However, the "we're completely screwed" dream quality of Class wins. 53. Rex -in the Terror of Tornado Twins Town. But will he save Rain Girl in this Legion crossover? Over in Big Town, some dame hopes that her nail biting superpower will save the day. 54. Punch. Simply classic comic cover. Elsewhere, having enjoyed being possessed by Darkseid, Turpin starts to channel Despero in an All-Chess Action Special. 55. X-Men. Ugh. Don't care for either. Mckeever's drunken heroes lose out to Kubert's drug trip Xavier. 56. Humour - Ah, the good old days, when humour books could sell without a joke on the cover. Kelly gets it for being able to see his shins. Going back through the thread, those TROUBLE WITH GIRLS covers totally make me wanna read that series. I has some of them. I used to see them in a catalogue. The premise of a top secret agent who would rather do anything than but be involved in espionage or have gorgeous women fall all over him in swanky casinos appealed.

53. Both are really well done for the time. I'm giving it to REX.
54. Two more really good ones, but the gun violence is making me nervous, so I'm giving it to DYNAMIC.
55. UMARVELTU whimsy beats out Prof X crankiness.
56. The ALL HUMOR gag is better. Ya gotta love a great big ol' manwhore in ill-fitting pantaloons.

53. REX. I almost went the other way, but the chick's stance annoys me.
54. DYNAMIC. I really like the cops and robbers chess pieces.
55. ULTIMATE MARVEL TEAM-UP. These guys look like they are having fun.
56. ALL FUNNY. The hamburger wins it for me.

57. I really love both. But the edge goes to the totes obvs Cardy angular action combined with the retro-mod logo. That plus the frightful premise. Skeletons ain't usually scary-- until one is causing you to drown. Gosh, that PS cover is lovely though. It's allllmost a tie.
58. MICKEY FINN looks like a nice guy. I know Little Lulu is super classic, though, and I just adore that sunshine smile border. I almost hate to but I'm giving it to Mickey.
59. Now I LIKE a nice black/white cover and both of these are good. i'm giving the edge to MIND MGMT for being more original than the 101 Dalmations-ish Barbie cover.
60. Sorry Archie, your boring white background cannot beat the hot teen on teen kissery of TIPPY TEEN!

57. PHANTOM STRANGER -- Both are fantastic, but I'll give the slight edge to this one. On another day, it might have gone the other way!
58. MICKEY FINN -- I hope those kids don't get eaten by tigers after sneaking into the circus, though!
59. MIND MGMT -- Mostly a vote against Cruella de Barbie!
60. TIPPY TEEN -- I went back and forth on this one, but I eventually went for the sweetness of this one!

57. Dark Mansion. Every bit as tough as the romance covers. "I know I said any woman would do, Stranger, but...." loses out to EC revenge creepiness.
58. Little Lulu - one of the kids is being crushed to death on the stairs, which is funnier than Mickey Finn: Corrupt Cop.
59. Barbie. Barbie is clearly the best dressed/coordinated. It also gets points for the lipstick flourish under the title and the Dalmatian looking up her skirt (see Garfield Logan). But the dress doesn't quite merge. Mind you, mind mgt isn't quite Eisner enough on the title. Behind that paper, there's just the reverse of those white covers.
60. Tippy Teen: Possible morality tale in Archie. I'm going with Tipsy Tippy Teen.
61. Heathcliff. Homage Event cover wins.
62. Skeleton Key. As much as I like art nouveau, I'm worried about Pandora's leg cramp.
63. Forbidden Worlds. I recall posing for that Nasty Genie cover, although I'm sure I had nipples then. I guess that mystery is why it's called "Chest of Death".
64. Detective. The poster doesn't crumple, and clearly it should say "Wanted for Moider." But it wins for that great shirt. I had to enlarge the Flash cover to make sure he wasn't using super flatulence. Yes, they're our enemies. But some day we want the war to end!
