Awww, HWW~ no. 7 just features regular bathing suits. Props to it too for Triad's bodies having suits that fit their personalities....

I'm actually surprised at my gay brethren not voting for the Dirk cover. But I understand.
Though I love both covers, I will never forget the rush of excitement I had upon first viewing the # 16 cover. For one reason, because Nura (and Thom and Chuck) had gotten the shaft in Batch SW6... but the main reason was... well, LOOK at her. Wuh-OW.

Watch. They'll finally cover up Kara's damn midsection again but then she'll end up wearing a thong. Just kill me now, okay?
Is this a vote for no. 7? It needs some love, y'know.
Okay, sure. Democracy usually is more about voting against something than for something anyhow.
Really, I love Nura. I just don't love thongs.

I vote for number 7. Not really crazy about either of these, but I like the artwork better on the top one. Also, we only see Chuck and Thom from the back and Thom's haircut stinks on the 2nd one. The first one is disappointing because no one's in costume and I dislike romance covers in general.
Is it really even possible for a female humanoid to be diammetrically perkily opposed to the extreme that Dream Girl is in the 2nd cover?
I confess to being inexperienced in the pliatudes of the female form, but somehow I doubt it.

although hughes on hughes is not easy. (especially against the cutie womanizer dirk) i remember being so excited that there was finally a dream girl sw6 somehow....after coming to terms that the young legion without dreamy was probably the inevitable future. (little did i know it would all go to s*it anyways)
and the smirk on her!

I'm in accord with a couple of other people in this thread in that I don't really like either of these covers either.
On #16 two things stand out - and not in a good way. Thom's freakishly big head and hideous haircut and Nura's fugly thong - possibly my least favourite aspect of the way modern artists draw female costumes.
And #7 just kinda bores me. The colours and composition and subject matter aren't particularly dynamic and I don't think Hughes' pencils are as good as they can be either.
Hmmm I'll vote for #16 because of how nice I thought it was to have those three back (even if it did mean we lost SW6 Ferro Lad who was one of my faves).

Personally, I love Adam's work and his Legion covers, in particular.
What I like most about these, besides the obvious beauty of the characters, is the humor in both.
That's why I pick the Atlantis cover. The fish, Triad and Dirk, even the bubble name, allow more humor than the other one.
Both covers were memorable to me, but on the inside, when Dreamy turns around, her outfit is as low in the front as it is high/low in the back. Just waaaayyyy too much.
I vote for Dirk and the mermaid.
VS.

Just as an aside - I'm always amazed at how UGLY I find SW6 Thom's costume to be, yet Reboot Thom's costume is one of my favourite costumes ever. And they are the exact same outfit only with different colours!

Ditto. No vote here. I had no idea that was supposed to be Dirk in the above cover (although Lu would have been recognizable even if there weren't three of her) and the back of Thom's head on the second cover is horrifyingly fugly.
The more I see of Nura's butt, the more I appreciate Kitson's redesign of her costume to include pants. That look on her face seems wrong, as well. Dean draws a way better Dreamy.
It doesn't help that both covers are from an era I know nothing of, so I have no investment at all in what lies beneath those covers.

You know... I never even noticed that! I was always so distracted by the horrible hair on SW6 that I probably never really paid that much attention to the details of the costume.
