Please look over the concepts, and make sure yours is here. Once we get confirmation that all have been received, I'll open the official voting poll.
We don't want to have mishaps with people not seeing theirs, missing entries, etc.
Let's be quick with this so we can start the actual voting!!

Entries:
9521 - We see buildings burning in the background and rain falling all around. Gunn is badly beaten and his eyes are closed. He is on the ground in a dirty pool of water. We clearly see fang marks on his neck, dripping blood. Spike is standing over Gunn's body looking at him. Could Spike be the one who vamped Gunn that First Night?
9518 - “The cover will show the rain falling and numerous demons both on the ground and in the sky. The main focus will be Gunn in the clutches of and being bitten by a vampire. His stomach wound which he received earlier is clearly visible. Clutching his stomach with one hand and trying to fend off the Vampire with other, his face shows the inevitable outcome of his futile efforts.” In the background you could also see Spike/Connor/Illyria (one or all) waging their own battle(s), not being able to come to Gunn’s rescue.”
9667 - We see Connor, bruised from his fight with Hamilton, running full steam out of the Wolfram & Hart building. But everything around him is a blur. Only he is in focus in the center, as he's charging towards us. He's got a look of determination on his face...
9638 - Angel and Wesley walking away in different directions, towards different goals. Wesley is actually walking through Angel to achieve this.
9697 - On the right side of the cover stands Wesley and Lilah, toe to toe, in full suit: the products of contracts signed in blood. On the left side of the cover, in the distance, lay their bodies, bloodied and beaten: the products of living in LA.
The main idea is Lilah, slowly but surely, bringing Wesley to her side of the game. On the First Night, who better to transition Wesley in death than the person who transitioned him in life? (Or, ya'know... the end-ish of his life. I just rewatched the fourth season and I'm feeling very Wesley/Lilah right now.)
9966 -
My concept for this cover is Wesley's first time at work during the graveyard shift. You can see the moon and sun together at the same time with city buildings in the background. There is a big white corridor which could be a tunnel to heaven but you can see an elevator which implies this is the white room at wolfram and heart. Wesley is wearing the same clothes he was killed in during 'not fade away', he has a brief case in one hand and his other hand is over his fatal wound.
In the foreground is a clocking in/out machine and his card is the only one there and it even says employee #001.
There is also an Uber Chucka from Ally McBeal dancing in the background of the white room and since it's wolfram and heart it's a tad on the demon side with horns and fangs
9893 - I picture a full shot of Conner (head to toe) standing, facing forward, wearing a long black leather trench coat (like Angel's) holding a weapon in each hand, while in the background L.A. burns. I picture Conner looking strong, intense, determined, no injuries (noticeable cuts or bruising)...powerful...a real champion.
9623 - On that first night, in the rain soaked alley, a dark, shadowy figure is cradling the bloody and broken body of the dying Gunn. We can't see the figure clearly, but we can tell that they are fierce by the grimace offer, pain and recognition on Gunn's face. The figure's hands are visible- very pale and veiny. Who is about to sire Gunn?
9938 - The cover focus is on Gunn – after he has been turned into a vampire – at the moment he realizes he is now one of the undead. He is looking into a reflective surface and is seeing (actually not seeing) his worst nightmare – he has no reflection. The viewer will need to see a good portion of Gunn’s face showing the shock he must be feeling. A hand to his face. The reflective surface (could be a mirror, slab of broken window, pool of water, etc.) shows all but him. Perhaps he has pulled himself free, or partially free, from a tangle of dead bodies that have weighted him down and has caught a glimpse of his non-reflective situation.
9771 - Wesley's body is on Cyvus Vail's floor soon after Illyria has left to rendezvous with Angel. Standing above Wesley’s body, carefully cleaning his glasses with his handkerchief, is Wesley's ghost, looking somber. He is trying to come to terms with the idea that his dead body is on the ground before him and that he is now forced to be the Senior Partner's liaison. Cyvus Vail's remains may be seen in the background.
9732 - The ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier. The wheel is blackened and partially mangled, yet it still manages to crudely turn. Most of the lights are shattered yet some remain glowing. Behind the wheel is the pacific ocean, only it is no longer water. The ocean is now made of fire. The fire licks at the pier like the blue waves once did. The ocean of fire casts an odd orange glow on everything. Connor, beaten and bloody, rides the wheel in the car directly in front of us, the car on the top. Beside him is the corpse of a green demon, bloodied, it's neck obviously broken due to it's unnatural angle. Although obviously injured, Connor is smiling. Why? In his hand is a stick of fluffy pink cotton candy with a bite taken out of it. A reward for his hard work.
9483 - Gunn. His story is intriguing, as he's turned into a vampire, seemingly out of nowhere. The cover would have Gunn unconscious on the dirty, wet ground, blood flowing like a river around his body. There's a mysterious figure in the shadows (perhaps we see eyes or just the bottom part of a person standing over his body but not a face, keep the mystery to his story for revelation in the comic but hint at what happens.
9526 - I see the cover of issue 6 having Angel back in the alley at the end of Season 5. He's covered in blood and rain. His fists clenched he's screaming into the skies as Hell is consuming the city around him. Walking away from him in obvious defeat are Gunn, Illyria and Spike.
9934 - A mystery person in shadows with back to reader - says to a group of troops facing him/her -TAKE THEM DOWN! ( haven't seen a cover word bubble )...it's war in the Angelverse and who's giving the orders? that's the mystery.
9577 - We see Conner bathed half in shadow and half in light. We see Wesley look on at what he's become with sorrow and regret blaming himself for what Conner has become. We, the readers, are not sure which way Conner will turn, towards the shadows or into the light.
9668 - In the foreground Illyria rising up from Wesley's body. In the background Gunn is on one side and Spike on the other. Both are turned away from the center where Illyria is with Wesley. This is not the aligned group front we are used to, but instead our heroes turning away from the group.
If yours is not here let us know right away so we can fix it and get on with the actual voting!!
