TMK. That cover genuinely sets a mood.

The Cinar cover isn't bad, it just isn't a good way to kick off a new series.

TMK. It's monochromatic, counter-intuitive, audacious.

I give it to V4, no contest. Personally, I loved Giffen's style during that period...it was unlike anything else that I had seen in comics.

And I think that cover is really amazing for a team like the Legion, which has traditionally been about hope and optimism. Obviously, everything has fallen apart, and the darkness of that series didn't seem to me at least to be forced to meet some editorial mandate, but was rather from a really genuine creative well. Even though a lot of things were deconstructed with that Legion, the creators didn't lose sight of what made the Legion such a popular concept...there was always that underlying hope and optimism behind their actions, it just took a bit of a beating at times. I find that a lot more endearing than stuff like say, Teen Titans, which has become in recent years one disgusting cynical gorefest.

Also, the current cover would be a great cover for a storyline introducing a Lantern Legionnaire, but as the first issue of a whole new series I think it should really be doing more to sell the concept of the book as a whole...

I don't hate the new cover, maybe not the best choice for a first issue, but there's been worse.

My vote is for the Giffen cover though.
The anticipation I felt waiting for the series to start was like nothing I had felt in comics.

It's just too bad that five issues in everything was scuttled and it fell off the rails.

I like the energy of the second cover. The first one just seems too dank.

I have always loved Giffen's #1. It communicates a wealth of feeling without revealing anything but the new title's tone.

Okay I can take a hint... looks like 1989's moody #1 easily trounces the current #1...

Seeing as how this is a cover-off, I'll go with S/LSH #228 because of the Grell cover with shock & surprise. If it was a story-off, the Secret Origins "Unique Properties..." would win hands down for me.
