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

I'm abstaining. I don't like any of those covers.

Newboot

I actually never realized that he's actually in a variation on "The Thinker" pose on that Baxter cover until now!

LSH #6

me three.

but jim lee does bring it.

LoSH #6

Although I do like me some Brainy's Lucky Day, too.

i want to vote the Legion's Lost...but nope. well...

I vote....Baxter - Brainy's Lucky Day.

I don't know.
You can't even see his face on the Baxter cover.

I wish we had the LOST cover, too.

But, since we don't, is that Chris Sprouse as the artist on the reboot cover?
Is Legionnaires #8 the reboot?
I thought they were SW6.
No?
Oh, well.
Love Sprouse.

Love Kitson, too, but I hate Legion Prime and Vril the Legionnaire.

I'm going with the TMK era new/retroboot Brainy by Jim Lee.
Beautiful stuff.

ohh it causes me physical pain to vote against Jim Lee (and he actually makes Brainy's boots look okay), but I am going with the Brainy's Lucky Day one. I feel that it has way more emotional impact than the others. (Is that the issue where Universo 'killed' Rond?)

The LO3W one just looks like he has a Kid Flash lollipop. Silly.

From worst to first -

5. Threeboot #1
4. SW6 #8
3. Lo3W #4
2. Retroboot #6
1. Baxter #30

You're right, the Sprouse was the SW6...sorry for any confusion.

Baxter

Brainy's Lucky Day. No contest.

Baxter

yes. it's a Baxter rally!!

I'll go with Brainy's Lucky Day as well. (Oddly enough, I can't remember what it was that had him so down. It was after Kara's death and before the Conspiracy fall-out...so what gives/gave?)

he somehow remembered or figured out Kara used to exist. maybe it was her birthday or something?

EDE will know.

i feel like it's an abstract mourning of pre crisis in general. (or that's just me.)

I'm not a fan of any of these, but I'll go with "Brainy's Lucky Day." It has the same appeal as TMK # 28, in which another Legionnaire is shown grieving against a plain black background. The notion that these heroes can be subject to human feelings such as grief is a powerful and subtle counterpoint to the way they are usually depicted on covers.

it was actually Rond's "death."

Brainy got off onto a bad spell w Kara's death (#16), and this fed his obsession that Sensor Girl was really Kara returned (#teens-through-24ish)

just as he was starting to bounce back with Dr. Chasseur, Rond seems to die (one of many preludes to Universo Project, 32-35).

Ah, yes...forgot about Rond's supposed death, there. Good show, Kent!

I like the newest one, the Legion #6 alternate by Lee. On a side note, I actually prefer it to the standard Legion #6 cover with Earthman getting out of bed...

You needn't apologize for my perpetual state of confusion, Dev.
But, thanks for giving me the info!
