I'm rather concerned about the image situation, too. I don't think enough thought has been given to how commercial use changes the balance of fair use. Wikia even promotes this feature with a frame from ABC television's "Scrubs"!

MagCloud's own content guide states quite clearly that copyright violations are a big issue. It is certainly possible to make a magazine from a certain selection of wiki articles that would include copyrighted images and still pass the fair-use test - depending on the wiki's content - but using such work for cover images seems to go far beyond that.
