I'll pick LEGENDS OF THE LEGION-- love that reboot costume. I also really like the little shadow-heads above the logo.
I agree with Lash that Coipel rocked Umbra's hair- though you don't really get a sense of it on that cover.
I think I had a letter printed in that issue of LEGIONNAIRES (which would've been my second choice, probably)-- if it wasn't that one it was soon after. It regarded the tryout issue.

Legionnaires # 44. It's atmospheric and has depth, and Shady looks positively lovely--dig the detail-less "glowing" effect on her hands. (And Sneckie is not going to spoil it for me.)

Legends. I'm a sucker for a Lightle cover and I was never a fan of Coipel's work on the Legion (though I later realized it was more because I hated Lanning's inks). And the Moy cover, while I generally like his take on the team, his Shady is just not badass enough.
I seem to like my Legionnaires to be badass on covers. Interesting what you discover about yourself around here...

I loved Coipel's Umbra, especially his really developed look. But I hate the shadow covering her nose!
I love Lightle's work but the belt bothers me, as do the Barbie legs.
Moy designed the Umbra look, with the short curly hair, the beautiful draped sleeves and the droopy belt. Sneckie doesn't bother me at all, I kind of liked her.
And Umbra was totally 'bad-assed' in that issue. A stinker, really. Anyway, I vote for the Legionnaires cover.

I loved Coipel from his very first panel on the Legion but that Legion Lost cover is definitely not one of his best.
The Legends of the Legion one is OK but Legionnaires #44 is one of my favourite covers (and issues) from that whole run so it definitely gets my vote.
Jeff Moy is seriously underappreciated as an artist IMO. And Umbra's look/costume on that cover is my favourite ever for her.

Excuse me but can you please direct me to the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles?

All three covers are great, and Tas looks good in all of them so it's hard to decide on which one I like better. I guess if I HAD to pick then I would choose Legion Lost.
