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

Okay, sure. Democracy usually is more about voting against something than for something anyhow.

Really, I love Nura. I just don't love thongs.

I vote for number 7. Not really crazy about either of these, but I like the artwork better on the top one. Also, we only see Chuck and Thom from the back and Thom's haircut stinks on the 2nd one. The first one is disappointing because no one's in costume and I dislike romance covers in general.

Is it really even possible for a female humanoid to be diammetrically perkily opposed to the extreme that Dream Girl is in the 2nd cover?

I confess to being inexperienced in the pliatudes of the female form, but somehow I doubt it.

16!!!!!!

that cover has turned me straight. just kidding.


although hughes on hughes is not easy. (especially against the cutie womanizer dirk) i remember being so excited that there was finally a dream girl sw6 somehow....after coming to terms that the young legion without dreamy was probably the inevitable future. (little did i know it would all go to s*it anyways)

and the smirk on her!

I'm in accord with a couple of other people in this thread in that I don't really like either of these covers either.

On #16 two things stand out - and not in a good way. Thom's freakishly big head and hideous haircut and Nura's fugly thong - possibly my least favourite aspect of the way modern artists draw female costumes.

And #7 just kinda bores me. The colours and composition and subject matter aren't particularly dynamic and I don't think Hughes' pencils are as good as they can be either.

Hmmm I'll vote for #16 because of how nice I thought it was to have those three back (even if it did mean we lost SW6 Ferro Lad who was one of my faves).

#16. It'll be clear why in a couple months...

I'll have you know, missy, that I was voting for Chuck's butt!

Just as an aside - I'm always amazed at how UGLY I find SW6 Thom's costume to be, yet Reboot Thom's costume is one of my favourite costumes ever. And they are the exact same outfit only with different colours!

Ditto. No vote here. I had no idea that was supposed to be Dirk in the above cover (although Lu would have been recognizable even if there weren't three of her) and the back of Thom's head on the second cover is horrifyingly fugly.

The more I see of Nura's butt, the more I appreciate Kitson's redesign of her costume to include pants. That look on her face seems wrong, as well. Dean draws a way better Dreamy.

It doesn't help that both covers are from an era I know nothing of, so I have no investment at all in what lies beneath those covers.

You know... I never even noticed that! I was always so distracted by the horrible hair on SW6 that I probably never really paid that much attention to the details of the costume.

it's not a thong.......it's just up her butt a bit.

Not a fan of either, but I'll go with the Dreamy one.

Looking a little more closely at number 7, it is possible that Dirk is swimming au naturale. That doesn't change my previous vote.

Dreamy's butt destroys Dirk's chest.

We'll call this one to move on to a cover face-off requested by a Legion Worlder...

ALL-DEATH BAXTER EDITION!

#38. That cover is beautiful in every way. It's iconic. Love it.

damn gina. two amazing covers. i'll go with kk though ......

cause i thought the super boy issue was a bit shameless since it happens way after crisis on infinite earths (right?) and then they kill this fake superboy. grrr

Each only partially or obscurely shows a Legionnaire (or Legionnaires).

Each includes a bit of historic Legion parephenalia (flag, mission monitor icon).

I'll go with the Karate Kid cover, but that has less to do with the art, than the character. Karate Kid has always meant more to me than Dawnstar, the only recognizable current Legionnaire on the second cover.

My big problem with #38 is that the characters aren't particularly recognizable apart from Dawnstar and Superboy.

#4 rocks, both as a cover and as an issue. So that's my choice.

KK's demise in #4. Why, while the cover to 38 is great, it lacks the real umph of #4. As DB said above, they killed a fake Superboy that was then retconned out of existance. KK died to save a planet from being shunted into another dimension.

I recognize and celebrate 38's cover as a cool peice of artwork, but, well see EDE's comment on 4 above.

# 4.

when's giffen coming??? coipel???

sprouse??? immonen??

: D

PM me what you would like to see and I will do my best to oblige!

Not crazy about these 2 either. Only a hand on the top cover. Only silhouettes on the bottom. I hate dead Legionnaires too. I want them all alive and well. Well, except the ones I don't like.

I guess I'll choose the K Kid one. Better drama, plus no Dawnstar, who I never liked.

Hard to divorce myself from the stories to judge the covers on their merits alone.

Bring on the Silver Age covers!
