Thanks, Hoss!

There were a couple it pained me to see lose, and I know there will be a few painful ones in this next round, too. It's been interesting, though.

I want to use different covers this time, however there were a few sets I had a difficult time finding scans of. If anyone knows where I can find them, or can email them to me, it would be appreciated.

The Crow - Original Calibur prints
Black Kiss
30 Days of Night (I could probably find these in one of SP's posts in the horror thread...)

If not I'll find a stock image other than the covers.

Last Day to request changes to the lineup.

have em, but can't find them this week - still unpacking from the move.
