HA! The Alien cover totally cracked my shit up. It's like a beautiful inside joke. Of course, if you've never seen it, WTF?! would be the first thing you'd think. Probably. Thanks, I enjoyed those immensely.

They're a little amateurish, which I guess is part of the charm and tongue-in-cheekiness of it all. Good job!

Yeah, the Alien cover is a total spoiler, but I couldn't resist using that image. Thanks for the kind words.
