Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes LSH cover FACEOFF!!!

B & B #3

I think the Superman cover would be a slam dunk if not for: a) the intrusion of the banners on the top and bottom shrinking the art, and b) inexplicably tiny Tharok. For the latter, I just can't grasp how the perspective calls for Tharok to be so small. For the former, it's such a big bombastic image that it needs the whole space to breathe.

I'll go with Perez's B&B cover, though it's not one of his better covers, because it has neither of the problems McGuiness's has. I'd rather have a full view of Tharok and Mano, but it's a solid cover. Properly executed, I think McGuiness's would be clearly superior, so it was a tough call.

The borders on the Superman cover are the only things I like about either cover: they focus attention to the battle scene and are presented in an unusual color.

Unfortunately, the borders are not enough to win my vote. The battle scene itself is cartoony and awkward.

As for the Perez cover, though I admire his art, I wouldn't have guessed this to be his work. It seems off and generic: overcrowded in an attempt to force drama. Am I supposed to focus on Batman, Validus, or the glowing hand at the bottom? Like too many covers today, it throws things at you without trying to arrange them into a eye-friendly design.

So, once again, no vote.

LSH #26

Adventure

Adventure # 366

The new Fatal Five one

Legion 26 with Emerald Empress' Fatal Five

Adventure, Validus is openin a can of woop nass on supes.

and i like the corny boxing ring thing with the legionnaires watching. he he

That's what I thought too PB, the boxing ring sells it for me. Adventure cover

Still love that Lightle cover and was sore it didn't win last time, so it gets my vote.

Definitely #26 this time.

It may only have one Legionnaire on it, and a posthumous one at that, but it's got my gal Sarya front and center, where the Empress belongs! Caress has a cold, pretty face, and the inexplicable desire to show off her {alien?) lack-of-cleavage via a boob window (or, in her case, a boobless window). Fly your freak flag, girl! Fly it proud!

#247 gets points for Jan in his best costume ever, and then loses them again for his worst haircut ever.

#78 gets points for coolest-looking Mano ever, and then loses them again for having some poseur calling herself the Emerald Empress.

#366 both wins and loses the same number of points for it's Silver Age dorkiness.

Because I'm just in the mood for something cornball - #366.

LSH #26
Lightle!!!!

I have to go with Legion #78 ... the best of the bunch IMHO.

I actually think Adventure is a great cover, it's dynamic, nice layout, good shading, etc. Also like LOSH #26, but if I was looking at these on a shelf I would want to see what is going on in #366 more than #26 because there seems to be more of a story going on.

So Adventure #366 for me.
