#61 is where different Legion boots come together. I especially remember it because in one of the story arc issues, this one, I think, Legions were shown that we hadn't seen before. Including having another Sneckie, one with a hood and fangs like a cobra.
That was my major problem with Sneckie, she was a garden snake type and not colorful at all.
But I understand the point. Comparatively, storywise there IS no comparison. #5 is a super story.

Alrighty. Great reasons for the votes.
Legionnaires #3 - 4
LSH #5 - 14
Legionnaires #61 - 10
The voting was really close for a while, but 5 pulled ahead.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

Hmmm...between L.E.G.I.O.N. and Secret Origins for me.
I guess L.E.G.I.O.N., but it's close.

The Secret Origins cover is a hark back to the Silver Age and shows her power in use. But I'm just not liking it. I want to, but I'm not. I don't know who the artist is, but I think if a different artist had done this, say Jeff Moy or Alan Davis, I'd love it.
The Legionnaires cover suffers from the white out effect. But it otherwise a beautiful drawing of Phantom Girl. I always like Moy's artwork.
The L.E.G.I.O.N. cover is OK. It has a nice drawing of Phantom Girl. It suffers from bad background coloring and a really bad drawing of Lobo.
My vote goes to Legionnaires.

Secret Origins is Dick Giordano. It has a Cockrum feel. I like it a lot. It gets my vote.

Legionnaires has my favorite PG look, plus a really striking pose and special effect. Secret Origins is also nice, but-- ugh!-- just thinking about Lobo gives me hives. Which is too bad, because the L.E.G.I.O.N. cover would be pretty cool otherwise. Legionnaires, it is.

Honestly I'm not crazy about any of them.
The L.E.G.I.O.N. cover suffers from Lobo plus the fact that her legs are long enough to make Barbie jealous.
The Legionnaires cover is basically her just reacting to the massively burst of whiteness that's dominating the cover. Love that outfit, however.
And, well, I'm not quite sure what bugs me about the SO cover, but there's definitely something that doesn't feel right about it. It may just be the mesh of Silver Age with Bronze Age sensibilities which is a bit jarring.
I'll go with the SO cover, hesitatingly.

Tinya's had consistently nice costumes, hasn't she? She's practically a female Star Boy.

I vote for Legionnaires too. But is that funky moiré effect part of the original cover or is that because of the scan?

P.S. The SO one is a nod to her panel in the Origin and Powers of the Legion feature from Adv. days.

Tinya "pops" in!! L.E.G.I.O.N. 89 for the win! One of the finest, most fun reads available in comics. It (and the first run of R.E.B.E.L.S.) puts the current REBELS to shame. The Secret Origins cover almost has a Cockrum look, a little bit? The flashlight effect detracts from Tinya's image on LEGIONNAIRES, but I do think both are nice efforts.

Legionnaires #64 for me. That's my favourite of Tinya's costumes too. And she's had a lot of good ones (except the current one which, though not as bad as say, Tyroc's, suffers from being a pale imitation of her classic 70s one).
I like the exciting white-out effect too. And I think Moy is a vastly under-appreciated Legion artist. I really loved his stuff.
The others are both just 'lacking' in some ways that I can't quite put my finger on.

Secret Origins.
I want to like 64, but it's painful to look at, with all the white.

I like all of them, but I really loved Tinya as Phase. I also love all of the dotLEGION characters.
So, dotLEGION 89, for me.
