Not personally a fan of Skottie Young's art, but I find this cover to be acceptable.

Every day is a gift, not a given right.
Never a fan of Mike Manley's stuff, but I really dug this cover and this series...

However, this is a nice homage to Rogue's many looks through the years.

LOL, well I truly can't stand his work. The baggy costumes, the immobile faces--when I read comics, and to quote Blanche DuBois, "I don't want realism, I want magic!"
I won't even pick a cover of his for this, because I just don't like them. I'll have to think of someone else...
Well yeah, if you genuinely don't like an artist's work and can't find even one cover they've done you like that's an easy pass. I've seen people mention Liefeld a bunch of times but the same deal applies; if he hasn't created any good covers (in the eye of the participant) then there's nothing of his to enter.

I dislike Skottie Young's stuff. His baby covers haven't been that horrible to me but his God-awful Human Torch series from years ago still grates on me. But this cover is brilliant and meta. Fantastic Four 670 for the win!
This was an easy choice for me. I love the Ultimate line but I hated the art in Ultimate team up. The issues where Spiderman teams with Doctor Strange.
Just hated it so much that it really killed the story. Edit - I did like this cover though because it had Doc Strange doing the finger thing that Peter does for his webs.

This Post Contains No Artificial Intelligence. It Contains No Human Intelligence Either.
For me it's a cross between Michael Avon Oeming and Guy Davis, both of whose styles never resonated with me.
However, even I have to admit this cover by Oeming is pretty impressive
I can't think of a Liefeld cover that's actually good, so...
I've really hated Jon Bogdanove's art since the X-Factor issues of X-Tinction Agenda, and his issues of the Death & Return of Superman didn't fill me with any great hope of ever liking it.
This cover, however, fills me with nothing but mirth and elicits a dirty giggle. It's also a nice reinterpretation of a Shuster cover concept.

I dislike much of the work of Carmine Infantino. Some of his earlier cover art is ok.
I do like this one.
