The quality is a bit lacking, and the "librarian" part could be clearer. I also feel it illustrates "badass" moreso than "scary".

Agreed all around. Of the suggestions, I like the first a lot more.

1.1 is clearer on the "librarian" part; 3.1 is better for "scary." I can't decide.

Dunno, I like current over the suggestions. Two shots to strengthen either the librarian or the scary part.

I'm good with either 3 or 7.

I think the two pics in 7 could be combined into one...makes for an effective combo.

[up][up] I also agree that combining them would work well, but I still prefer the Monsters University suggestions.

I still prefer the MU suggestion. The librarian looks far more menacing, and doesn't take 2 panels to get the scariness across. The fact that she looks much less like a cheap cosplayer is a plus.

^ I don't find her to be scary in 1.1 and I don't know what's going on in 3. But let the crowner decide.

Crowner. Didn't include 1.2 because it doesn't seem to garner any interest, or the current because the quality is horrible.

Calling this one; can someone please put the winner up? Thanks in advance.

Caption?

Up, tagged, and Image Sourced.

Caption, hmm... there should be something involving overdue books and tentacles, but it's not coming to me. Maybe if I'd seen the movie.

Cut the "either".

Turn in your books on time or else.
