I got bored. Next Face-Off NOW!! And it is a bit different.
In this ongoing Face-Off, we will ultimately determine Legion World's choice for FAVE FATAL 5 COVER!
To get the ball rolling, there will be 4 Face-offs with 2 covers duking it out in each round (8 covers in all).
Once those 4 winners are chosen, they will go at it in for the ultimate championship in a slam-bang orgy of blood and violence. Or something. Anyhoo, it'll be fun!
I have already chosen the 8 covers. Please be aware I realize there have been certain Fatal 5 covers left out. Forgive me if I left your favorite out.
ROUND ONE!! Which of these ADVENTURE issues featuring the F5 gets YOUR vote???

#366 - The green background is better, Validus looks more menacing. Realistic looks on the boy's faces.

I'll go with 366, for the really excellent composition. But it was a tough call.

Definitely a tough one. But I'll go for 353 as the slightly more iconic cover, despite a few weird things about it (like the fact that the Persuader looks like he's about to chop the back of Validus's leg). The anachronistic fighting ring on 366 doesn't do anything for me, plus the fact that Validus's brain apparently takes up his whole head is a bit disturbing.

I like the art better on 366, but I like the scene and the classic cover blurb on 353. 353 is also the one that would make me want to read the story inside. The boxing ring thing doesn't even remotely pique my interest.
I don't like #366 because of the boxing ring set-up. It makes the cover look posed, while the cover of #353 has action and looks more natural to me.

That is first Legion comic I ever read, the one that hooked me.
That cover is permanently imprinted on my brain as "THE Legion cover."
