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

ADV 300

301

Another toughie-- but I'm going to pick #41, *despite* the presence of Catspaw. I like the movement within the images and particularly like the images of Sun Boy and Cosmic Boy. It's not an *exact* homage to the ADVENTURE cover, since it features figures mostly from the waist up, rather than full-body images.

Between the two most similar covers, I'd still pick the 'homage' of 301, due to the inclusion of Jan and Shady and especially lil' leaning Vi. Cham as the main figure instead of Supes is a plus, as is Gim shrinking down from his giant-form? That's my interpretation, anyway.

All the covers make me want to know what each character is up to... why they're separate and what the common thread is.

argggggh! Lash you are breaking my heart!

I love them all. (be careful what you wish for people, very careful, i partly my request)


41 is HOT. it's like the glossy sexy future version of the other two. (which it is quite literally maybe)

and 300 is the Original. and snazzy as well.

sigh. sigh. sigh.

i will close my eyes and type in: 301 the Giffen.


It was my first ever Legion comic! awwwwww



(and one of my first comics)


Thanks Lash!!

FINAL TALLY!

This ended up being really close...

Congrats Curt Swan! Now, a sort of 'filler' Face-off while I'm checking on particular covers for another request...

Vs.

80, all the way. Girls as victims is so last millenium, and what's with the funky axe-blades on the side of the villain's head? No wonder he can't see Batman behind him, his stupid headgear blocks his peripheral vision!

[Edna Mode] No Capes! [/Edna Mode]

Despite the Super-panel-hogging being even worse than usual [sheesh, he's even on the BB cover in a blurb!], I've got to go with DCP. It's just got a better composition.

The second one, because Tinya looks fantastic there, nice starfield, and no clunky computers.

The villain's boots on the first cover were interesting.

Yes, the first cover is silly and offensive to women.

The second is Supes heavy (understatement!) and silly.
Vi shows us way skirts are a bad idea for people who fly, too.
But Tinya is cute and so are Jan and Jo!

I vote for the second cover, #80.

I vote for the second cover as well...it features less silly axe-helmets, less damsels in distress, and presents a more intriguing story hook in general. Plus, I really like the way Tinya and Vi's loose-fitting clothes have been portrayed.

I vote for the 2nd one which I'm amazed to say I don't think I've ever seen before.

The artwork and composition are just so much better and no Cosmic Boy in a bustier is an added plus. The only good thing I can say about the first one is that it was Duo Damsel's first cover appearance in a long time.

Both covers are way too blurb heavy.

DC Comics Presents #80 for me. Pretty much for the reasons already given.

The Brave and the Bold cover reminds me of the Dagon/Tryoc cover that we voted on a few rounds ago.

I'm gonna vote for it anyway because it has Cosmic Boy in the lovely black costume that everyone loves so much. Violet and DD are also looking pretty good there.

Surprisingly, Violet is the only one on both covers. And even better, no IMRA on either. I'm shocked.

I vote for the DCCP cover. It's not a favorite of mine, but as FC says, Tinya looks great. The Brave and Bold cover is just all around bad.

I don't like the DCCP cover at all. I'm surprised to see it romping home with so many votes.

The B&B cover is by no means a classic either but it has a funky 70s charm all of its own - the ridiculous conceit of having the female members in some type of danger that only their male colleagues can rescue them from, the outrageous outfit of the one-shot villain, Rokk in his corset, Dirk and Gim in their best outfits and seeing Batman with the team is infinitely more interesting than seeing Superman with them.

I vote for B&B.

The B&B #179 cover makes me want to read the story more. So it wins.

DCCP, c'mon, Jo is front and center.

what's up with Shady's cape on the B&B cover? It looks like she just has a black sash hanging from one shoulder and another from one wrist. I guess they forgot to draw the rest of it.

hm I want to abstain the vote...can I? If can't...then my vote would go to: B and B.

Absolutely everything is wrong with that Brave & Bold cover! I'm tempted to vote for it just because it's so bloody awful!

DCCP 80 gets my vote, though. I love covers with the Legionnaires in space, the composition's great, plus we get a Cham butt-shot as a bonus!!

Look at the morphing ass Rhino...look at the morphing assssssss!

oh my

Can't...turn...away!! Compelled...to stare...at...muh-muh-morphing ass!!!

<--puts on Chameleon Boy morphong ass costume...
