    With the exception of the Green Lantern cover and possible Millie, the rest of these are pretty terrible. Going to the website you can see some that are pretty inspired, but most of them are people with minimal talent simply trying to recreate the cover line for line, hatching for hatching. There's very little in the way of "reimagining" going on.

    It's interesting to see the very different but still visually appealing Green Lantern cover above, but for every #9 there's a #3 which simply makes you wonder what the artist was smoking.

    I love the re-do of the TMNT II adaptation in Eastman and Laird's original art style. That's brilliant.

    And the G.I. Joe cover... well, that's just "FUCKING AWESOME!"

    some of these are clearly using a different definition of "classic" than i am used to.

    That NEXUS one seemed to be the only interesting one up there until I hit that G.I. JOE. That one gave me a nice chuckle.

    I know they're hyper-trendy, but I fail to believe the usefulness of tag-clouds.

    I once worked on a production called "The Dragon That Saved Christmas from the Witch That Tried To Steal It." It had dragons, witches, and a fat guy. I wonder if Old Dragon, Dead Witch and Fat Guy is a sequel.

    I submit that "A Stain Upon the Vastness" is in fact the sequel to "The Thing With the Glass Buttock."

    A Stain Upon The Vastness
    That seems like a Vernor Vinge novel to me ( A Fire Upon the Deep, A Deepness in the Sky ).

    @anvalisok:
    Or else a late 60's-early 70's "New Wave" title, probably Spinrad. I'll bet it's in "The Last Dangerous Visions" in a parallel universe.

    Either that or it's the book Vinge never wrote.

    And, it's shaped like the planet killer from Star Trek. I'm just sayin'.
