A Month of Cover Theme Games #28
Every day this month, I’ll give you a new cover theme game! If you don’t know the game by now, it works like this: I’ll show you three covers. They all have something in common, whether it be a character, a trait all three characters share, a locale, a creator, SOMEthing. And it isn’t something obvious like “They all have prices!” “They all have logos!” “They all feature a man!” “They are all Avengers (who ISN’T?)!” “They’re all dead (who HASN’T been killed off?)!” etc.
In addition, please note that you must have some familiarity with comic book history to correctly guess these comics. You cannot guess the connective theme just by looking at the covers solely, you must have some knowledge beyond just the covers.
If you come up with an answer that works outside of what I intended, I’ll give you credit (well, provided I think it fits, of course).
One more thing – if there are floating heads on the cover, ignore them! They don’t mean anything!
If you think you know the answer, e-mail me at bcronin@comicbookresources.com (make sure to write which number game you’re answering). Don’t answer in the comments. This way, people who check in at different times of the day can still get credit for answering it correctly! After two days, I’ll post the people who answered today’s game correctly! Here is the list of all the games, along with the answers to each one (after two days go by, of course).
Good luck and enjoy!

@Jim: At the beginning of each game Brian links to the list of previous games. Next to each game there’s a link to the solution (posted two days after the game started).

I don’t have an answer, but the first cover made me think the next would have Superman (Clark) and then Power Girl (Mounds) and the connection/theme would be “candy” or “chocolate”

all three covers have three characters shooting energy beams at metal constructs. even though both starfire and fire hawk look like their hair is on fire.

Ah, OK, I wasn’t all that happy with my answer for this one, so I’m actually glad to find out that wasn’t what you had in mind.

What were the names involved that people said for the Buffy related guess? Cuz I can’t remember the name of the people who adopted Connor on Angel, and it HURTS!
