Two more excellent choices. I'm picking number #4 for the emotion it conveys. It has a portrait quality to it. Mon-El's eyes, expression and position of his hands tell you that this won't be an ordinary issue.
Beauty's where you find it. Not just where you bump and grind it.

While the Star Boy cover is simply one of the best looking covers I've ever seen, I have to go with #4 with Mon-El as its one of only two Legion covers that actually make me a little teary-eyed.
I actually well up with emotion every time I read that issue. When you read the entire Legion run chronologically from Adv. #247 through and get to that issue, it is just this huge moment, especially after the first three issues of TMK. I *have* to go with it.
(BTW, I would have voted for #80 in the earlier competition).

Even though Mon-El is my favorite Legionnaire, I don't like the "grim and gritty" look. I picture him as Clint Eastwood after having been beaten up by the bad guys in one of the latter's Westerns--not an image I find compatible with Mon, even though I understand that it was meant to protray him as heroic.
The Star Boy cover, on the other hand, is elegant and inviting. So, it gets my vote.

A few more votes for 4 have come in, but this is by far our most 1-sided duel yet. I think we can go ahead and move on.
FINAL TALLY
LSH 306... 12 votes
LSH 4..... 5 votes
306 is the undeniable winner!

Are you ready for a COCKRUM SMACKDOWN?!? 2 points of interest: 1 peice is very early Cockrum, the other is likely one of his final works. The other is that NEITHER appears on a LSH comic-book... ![[Linked Image]](http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/MLLASH/bestlegion_LRG.jpg) vs. ![[Linked Image]](http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/MLLASH/legionc_LRG.jpg)

The Legion Outpost wins. The Companion is too crowded.
The Outpost cover is crazy and fun. Romance. Karate kicks, flying in dramatic poses, futuristic headphones, and glasses, a Legion cruiser and HQ all in Nura's hair!

There is something...off about the Companion cover, I've never liked it. I think that in many cases the proportions just look wrong. The Outpost cover is better, but it's not one of my favorites, either.

Legion Outpost as the winner.
Like I said, the "All the Legionnaires flying" has been done and done.

Legion Companion for me. Despite Dave's failing health (and he forgot Karate Kid), I think he produced a dynamic cover. It's almost 3D.
The other is a favorite of mine, but feels like it needs something more.

Drats! I missed the last challenge. I would've voted for #306 too though so all's good.
This is a tough one but only because neither of them elicits any sort of emotion from me. They're just kinda 'there' IMO.
The Outpost one is kinda weirdly interesting with Nura's hair going crazy (she looks like 5YL Spider Girl) and Tinya's sunglasses and that make-out action happening in the background. It reminds me of a James Bond poster now that I think about it.
The Companion is too busy (as someone else said) and the Legionnaires flying through the sky is not a very original idea. But dang, if I don't love that sort of thing. Plus, it's got nearly everyone on it and they all look kinda happy and cheery (which is good to see with this team).
Hmmmm I'll vote for the Companion.

The Legion Outpost for me. It's such a product of it's time.
Besides, the Companion cover omitted Chemical King.

I like the randomness, almost movie poster quality of the Outpost one better than the tried and true flying in one direction cover.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

Yes, the Outpost IS a product of it's time and a wonderful poster piece.
The Companion is generic, perhaps as it had to be for it's purpose.
I vote for Dreamy and the OUtpost.

Timber Wolf looks pretty awkward on the Outpost cover. But it doesn't matter because the cover belongs to a beautiful Nura and a smokin' hot Tinya.
Outpost.
