Struggling to find any I feel positive about, but I am really not in tune with these judges. So I'll throw personal taste/enjoyment out of the window and rank them on what I think the judges are looking for...

1 The Doloriad
2 My Dead Book
3 MUEUM
4 Chinatown
5 I'm a Fan

Changing things up slightly:

1. Tilted Axis. Chinatown.
2. Tenement. MUEUM.
3. Dead Ink. The Doloriad.
4. Rough Trade. I'm a Fan.
5. Pilot. My Dead Book.
