80. The awesome flight perspective easily overcomes the more cloying aspects of the scene. Like the cheesy mugging and the butter yellow background.
Lash, this is fun!

I remember having to drive to multiple stores to find #25-- and being beyond excited to see the young Legionnaires in those costumes.
The Alan Davis is a great cover that really does encapsulate what was right about that era's LSH. I love seeing that many smiling faces in one image- so unusual for comics, or any art form these days.
But I'm going to pick #25 for four reasons-- Invisible Kid, Ferro Lad, Phantom Girl (whose image here I love) and Sun Boy. All characters dead by that point in LSH history. What a great thing it was to see them walking around, interacting and using their powers in that story and the ones that followed!
I often wonder what folks would've said about this issue and the ones around it had there been a 'Legion World' back then to use to communicate.

This really is a tough one. I remember the rush I felt when I first saw #25 ("They're back! Yes!"). The thing I don't like now about #80 is that it is pretty generic.
Still, for pure dynamic energy and optimism I vote for #80.

25. The detail and the variety of positions are far superior to 80. Yes, 80 is Alan Davis, but it just seems boring to me.

25 thats the one I felt more compelled. It attracted me whereas the #80 repelled me, as oddly it works that way to me.
PS I am baaack from two weeks business trip. I am pretty much exhausted. ah... nice to be home.
