Wasn't Zoe originally intended to be the Emerald Empress and they were going to show how she became the Empress. Then they switched gears. The story suffered for it, I think. In the long run it would have been better to just have an Emerald Empress from the beginning.

I know I shouldn't but I pick LSH #78. No Superboy! The less I see of him the better.

#78 is really tempting, as I actually think almost every member of the Fatal Five looks better on it than the original. I prefer my Empress's emerald, however, and that turns the tide against it.

78 is flat-out superior art, and has Violet and Lu and Ayla on it, a good use of female characters, and no Superboy, and all sorts of cool stuff that makes me want to love it.
But Adventure has the Emerald Empress, and no stupid Liefieldian '90s-era pouches-for-no-darn-reason. So I'm gonna have to vote for the classic.
Up with Sarya! Down with pouches!

I think it was more that the reboot Eye was just too darned powerful to be part of a team. The thing was a major source of Mordru's power and a threat to the entire Legion on it's own. Later when it did bond to the Empress, it was expressly depowered as a form of self-punishment or something silly like that.
That said, I'll still vote for the reboot cover.

I'm voting for Adventure comics, because it has Superboy and Ferro Lad on it.

Love both covers, but DID NOT LIKE reboot Fatal Farce of a story. Sooooooo Adventure it is.
