This is probably pretty easy, given the stuff I normally see here, GLHF!

No contrib. You have until Jan 10, 9am CST.

It seems to me that some people might need a little help, well, here's a few hints:

No Hints, it's easy.

Does the title of the 3rd one have to be exact, e.g. if it is like part of a series or something where the title is two words without a space, or something...?

EDIT:
That's it, I'm done - that 3rd one is just too vague; that genre was over-saturated as it was, so the image doesn't help.

Edit 2:
Well, not one person has figured out image 3 yet still eh? Never mind, I see 13 people have solved it - yay, now I don't feel so bad... :(

Unfortuantely I won't be adding any more hints, I think the current number of solvers proves that it is possible enough. However, In hindsight it might have been wiser to choose a shorter giveaway length.
