Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes LSH Cover FACE OFF the Second!!!

Legionnaires 3 for me.

Legionnaires #61 for me too, hands down.

Legionnaires 3, #3. The fact that Garth is being physically separated from the other two (which was a plot point in the mini-series IIRC) and the sensation of unbalancing is what makes it for me.

The other two are nice, though.

I abstain. I don't like any of them.

LSH#5 is one of the more mysterious covers in LSH history IMO. I've never read that issue but I know(think) that something pretty weird and epic must happen in it for it to have a cover that departs so far from the norm like that.

So I vote for that one.

I can't imagine not finding anything to like at all about these covers... (but I found that true from the very first time someone abstained from a face-off on those grounds)


L3 3 is cool and stylistic.

5 is SO moody and atmospheric, I adore it.

But 61 POPS. It pops and ROCKS. It's pop-rocks.

61 for the win!

Nice days of our lives ref.

61, for me.

5 is nice and evocative, but lacks anything that makes it feel 'Legion-y.' It could just as easily be a Sandman Mystery Theatre cover.

All excellent but 5 for me

I love all 3.
#61 is my favorite of the 2 with Legionnaires.

But, I'm going to have to go with #5.
That's the Mordruverse issue, the result of Mon-el's destruction of the Time Trapper.
This is one of my all time favorite stories in any of the DC universes.
Gorgeous, inside and out.

#5 as well.

#5 also. It's got a classic look, and I loved that issue through and through.

#61, hands down.

All wonderful covers. I'll go with 61, though, as it really stands out.

LSH #5

Changes were a'coming, but we didn't know just what they would be.

this one is really tough, i thought 5 for sure ....
(i was scrolling UP and thought 5 surely couldn't be beat by the whatever was the first choice.)


but i'm actually going with Legionnaires #3.

and i dont even like the founders. and 5 is one of my favorite stories.


btw i missed the previous one (bad power boy!) but i wouldve gone with LSH #2 .... that super boy just looks too delicious.

#61

My vote goes to Legionnaires 3. For some reason or other I just like it.

#61 is technically the most attractive, but it says something that #5 was the only one of the three I immediately recognized even though I own all three issues. The story inside is extraordinary, and the cover is terrifically evocative of its contents.

Definitely #5.

LSH #5. So foreboding!!

Another thing about #5 - is it the only cover in Legion history to not feature a single character on it?

That's what stands out to me about it. I'm so used to seeing anywhere from 1 to more than two dozen characters on a Legion cover that this one immediately seems special to me.

New one will go up tomorrow.

Though I stand by my vote for 61, I love the point you make here.

The contents of # 5 are unforgettable. I cannot describe the contents of Legionnaires 3 or Legionnaires 61.

Very telling.

That's one of the reasons I DON'T like it.

I vote #5 - I also agree with Blacula that I think what makes it stand out so much is that it DOESN'T have any characters on it, it's purely a mood piece.
