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

I vote for world's finest. Who can resist Composite Superman?

I missed the last 2 votes as I was out of town. I would've voted for the puppeteer Glorith and #322 pets. Don't like either Pets cover, but I like the corniness on 322 better than the other one.

I vote for Superboy!

I have never seen either of these comics before, so before going to my favourite back issue site to rectify this I vote for Worlds Finest even though both covers are pretty cool

WF for me. I like the action.

I couldn't get the second cover for the Pets last time I logged on, but I'd have voted for the Revolting Pets anyway, so it's all good.

These last two were kind of hard for me to make out, really.
I don't mind Cham stretching but the Composite Man is pretty interesting, too.

I vote WF.

Better perhaps, but less representative of the story within, as I recall!

I'm not crazy about either one of these. Forced to choose, I'll go with World's Finest.

I'll go with WF. I don't think the Superboy anniversary cover is well drawn; Superboy looks like he has a broken jaw.

I'm going for the World's Finest cover. I dislike how they have Chameleon Boy be all Elastic Lad on the cover of Superboy. Plus the World's Finest cover has a plug for Night Force.

I vote for WORLD's FINEST #284.
Love the composition, love the see-through logo, love the white background.

Hmmm...as I suspected, both covers were by Giffen. And both are pretty good Giffen Legion covers, though not up there with some of his best from his original LSH run. I think overall I find the World's Finest cover a little more eye-catching. The Legionnaires are smaller and less prominent, but I like all the characters converging on a large, central and visually interesting threat. On the Superboy cover all you see is the bad guy's hand.

As a side note, the WF cover is, I believe, one of the rare occasions when Giffen drew Projectra in that costume. It got bonus points from me for that alone.

World's Finest has, IMO, a better use of color. And something else artsy sounding. Composition, maybe? The figures are all placed in a way that nicely 'sets' the scene.

I like that Colossal Boy is in the unusual position of not being the largest dude in the picture. And, oh look, there's Violet on his shoulder. For a woman with a flight ring, who was *not* interested in Gim, she spent a lot of time physically *on* his body...

Hahaha, I just noticed that *Batman* is the 'damsel in distress!' That brings a smile to my face.

Ha. Vi certainly was a tease with poor Gim wasn't she. No wonder he pined for her for so long.

I thought I'd seen every Legion cover ever but that Superboy one is totally new to me. I'm tempted to vote for it for that reason alone.

But while I do like it I think I prefer the World's Finest cover. More action, more characters, an interesting composition, better colouring.

WF for the win.

World's Finest

I was thinking that this was the Yera as Vi era.
Does anyone remember if this WF in in that time?

I thought it was pretty much all of the green Cockrum costume time period.

And I always felt that this 'Giffen' era's characters often had pinched faces with flat nostrals and pouty lips.
Could be just me, though.

Worlds Finest.

World's Finest for me as well.

Candle, I think Yera wore purple for most of her stint as Violet. Is that redundant? But you may be right. I think Saturn Girl adopted that costume after the imposture began and when Violet returned she was in the pale green dress.

Projectra's pose is very strange. Is she supposed to be doing a flying Kung fu kick or something? Who does she think she is? Karate Kid?

This issue came out during the time period in which Yera had replaced Vi, but I also thought she'd switched to the purple costume by then as well. Maybe it's a coloring mistake?

um superboy. and I DON'T HAVE EITHER OF THESE!! omg. i have to find THEM!

i'v never even seen them before.

See, FACE-OFF is not only fun but educational!

I have the WF one but I think I passed on the Superboy one because I didn't care for the art. At least I think I have the WF. Haven't looked at it in years.

Yera definitely wore the green costume for a while, but switched to purple later. She wore green during Great Darkness, but I think switched to purple right afterwards.

After being in the same position of not having either issue as Power Boy earlier I think that should read.

FACE-OFF not only fun but expensive!
