Two more excellent choices. I'm picking number #4 for the emotion it conveys. It has a portrait quality to it. Mon-El's eyes, expression and position of his hands tell you that this won't be an ordinary issue.

While the Star Boy cover is simply one of the best looking covers I've ever seen, I have to go with #4 with Mon-El as its one of only two Legion covers that actually make me a little teary-eyed.
I actually well up with emotion every time I read that issue. When you read the entire Legion run chronologically from Adv. #247 through and get to that issue, it is just this huge moment, especially after the first three issues of TMK. I *have* to go with it.
(BTW, I would have voted for #80 in the earlier competition).

Even though Mon-El is my favorite Legionnaire, I don't like the "grim and gritty" look. I picture him as Clint Eastwood after having been beaten up by the bad guys in one of the latter's Westerns--not an image I find compatible with Mon, even though I understand that it was meant to protray him as heroic.
The Star Boy cover, on the other hand, is elegant and inviting. So, it gets my vote.

The Legion Outpost wins. The Companion is too crowded.
The Outpost cover is crazy and fun. Romance. Karate kicks, flying in dramatic poses, futuristic headphones, and glasses, a Legion cruiser and HQ all in Nura's hair!

There is something...off about the Companion cover, I've never liked it. I think that in many cases the proportions just look wrong. The Outpost cover is better, but it's not one of my favorites, either.

Like I said, the "All the Legionnaires flying" has been done and done.
