I vote the first one because it shows the look of abject horror dawning on Lu's face as she is the first Legionnaire to realise that Size Lad has grown Element Lad big enough that his gravitational pull is drawing the rest of the universe into his veejay.

Nighty, to my eyes it doesn't look like he's standing, it looks like he's floating loose in space, and attempted to reach the ship in a last ditch survival effort and just as his fingertips touch the 'window', he passes out and his legs kinda float upward while his fingers are still on the window.

That was my initial thought, too; however, Jan should be hunched over for his fingers to be touching to window.
I'm not a fan of either of these covers, but the Dagon one trumps the other primarly because Jan's position makes one think too much about the cover.

I'll go with 263, just because Jan can create his own darn air so there really isn't a crisis there.

That was one of my reasons too!

I like both covers quite a bit, but I'm going to take 263 over the other because I find it just a bit more dynamic. It feels like we, the readers, are rushing into the fight and we could almost be the fifth Legionnaire arriving on the scene.

I vote 267. But I will confess that I had never noticed that Jan is touching the glass. The position of his legs doesn't make sense, does it?
Still, I love Lu and BB, and there are very few covers that feature them. I remember 267, and had no recollection of 263.

263 because I always thought that Element Lad looks odd on 267. The proportion or something seem off, the first time I saw that cover I though Jan had some sort of allergic reaction and was puffing up, not that he was drifting unconscious in space.
However, if it wasn't for the odd pose on Jan, I do think the rest of the cover is stronger than 263 and the subject matter is more interesting (nice classic vibe, beyond group of heroes gang rushing villain).
But I still vote 263, better understanding of anatomy or foreshadowing or something.

Every tally has been a tie, that's pretty amazing. I'll leave the polls open until... I wake up tomorrow (THAT could by ANY time!) and we'll see if we have a winner or a tie!
