and funny thing Princess Projectra was the only one who have not been in the Legion cartoon show, while Karate Kid, Nemesis Kid, and Ferro Lad were legionniares. would be interesting if PP was revealed to be one of the traitor, eh?

The cartoon did leave it in the air that Nemesis Kid could still turn out a traitor (in the same ep he appears, Grimbor oh-so-conveniently uses a ray weapon that does the exact same thing that Nemesis Kid does, strip away super-powers!).
I liked the uncertainty, and yet, I'm also a sucker for new versions of heroes and villains that aren't necessarily on the same side I'd expect (like Threeboot Projectra, who may be a Legionnaire, but may not have been cut out to be a hero...).

#346. Maybe I'm not being partial since I got Shooter to sign my copy a few years back. It's just darn cool!
But this was a close call either way Lash!

I like the idea of NK being a hero, but still managing to be a pain in the ass.

That was one of my reasons too!
Well, no, not really. Jan transmutes elements, he doesn't create them. In the vast emptiness of space what is he going to change into enough air that he can breath . . . his teammates space ship?
He breathes out CO2 doesn't he? Just keep on recycling it. He's his own ecosystem.
That's really a good explanation! Love it. I was going to suggest 'dark matter'.
And I would have voted for the Colon cover since Steve's cover looks kind of genericish. sigh
And now, I vote for the Adult Legion cover. That issue had so many reprecussions for the Legion's future and so many stories came from that cover and issue!
Plus, I really like the Manapul tryout cover angles much better.

Another toughie. Cardy really was the master of cover art (though these aren't two of his best, good as they are).
There's a lot to love about the top one - Jo's legs sticking out of the ground is hilarious, as are Rokk and Tinya running away in fright, and the slanty angle and the way Mon is being swung at the view are both cool design elements.
The bottom one is a more standard point of view but I like the way even though everyone is just piling on Timber Wolf, he looks like he's in complete control. The big moon framing him is a nice touch too.
I'll go with #297.

I'm going for LSH #1. I get a better sense of movement in this cover than Superboy 197

197 was my first LSH comic and I've been a big LSH fan since. Gotta go with 197. TW always makes my top 10 fav Legionaires too.

What amazes me about 197 is Cardy only had, like about 55% of the space to work with and he fit in 8 Legionnaires AND it isn't crowded. Lu's miscolored costume always annoyed me though (NOT Cardy's fault I'd imagine).
But 1 is so incredible... LOVE the image of Supes swinging Mon and Jo smashed into the pavement. LOVE the lopsided angle!
