What are the best Magazine themes for a Wordpress literary/culture blog

Looking to upgrade theme from the free stuff, and not spend more than $100 doing it. Would like a theme with a great slideshow/lightbox. We run comics and photo essays as well as regular articles. Lots of options for banner ads would be good too. What are your favorite magazine themes?

The Thesis theme seems to be a favourite for magazine-type websites.

Canvas - I've used this theme on multiple projects. It's very flexible and nice to work with.
Magazine Theme
Editorial
Viewport
Mag.Press
Berlin
Monochrome
Massive Press this one has lots of cool options but has been kind of buggy if you try to customize it past its limits in my experience.

If the theme doesn't have ad spots I use either AdRotate or OIO Publisher. Both work really well.

A search suggestion, I recently tried Pinterest for a theme search and it's pretty good since you get to see full screenshots of themes that at least one person thought was pretty cool.
