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

I prefer the Digest to the original issue but the cover to 372 is by far the more dynamic of the two. So that one.

Superboy's 'crack-up' ! get it? crack up, get it?

bwahahaha

what if that really was the end of super boy haha

and gim really has to bend to make it in the cover haha.

I'll go with the digest, because that's the one I remember from my youth. Also, because it's a little wacky seeing the older story solicited on the cover with the then current costumes.

If only an issue fell through time from the Grell/Cockrum period into the Adventure realm: "Cos, what in the blue blazes are you wearing?!?!?!"

Adventure - what a great cover!

BTW, I didn't vote on the last one, which was probably the hardest one yet! Still, I probably would have chosen WF.

Adv. 372! My second favorite fake-Superboy-gets-killed cover of the Adventure era!

(first is Nardo killing fake-Superboy on the cover of the first Super-Stalag issue!)

Adventure #372 for me.

#372. Timber Wolf lookin' good!!

No contest..Adventure #372

Yeeesh... don't think there's any way for the DIGEST to pull this one out with only 3 votes to 15 for ADV 372 so far.

Actually, looking back, this wasn't really quite fair... the cover to the DIGEST actually portrays the ALL-NEW story of the revenge of Tarik the Mute's Android inside, although it does indeed contain a reprint of ADV 372.

I'll try for a fairer Face-Off coming shortly...!

3-WAY ULTRA BOY FAN-FAVE ARTISTS FACE-OFF!

You may pick only 1!

Who are the artists for these?

I really like all of them but the one I've 'remembered' is the first one.
It's just so exciting.
Even though I don't know what all the white energy flashes are around him.

I just enjoy his beautiful face and the dynamics and immediacy of the whole picture.

Very powerful!
And Jo IS very powerful.

I vote the first one #64.

#64 gets my vote! Man those early issues of the reboot were good!

Shady, I believe Adam Hughes is the artist for the first; Lightle is def. the artist of the LEGENDS cover and Alan Davis for # 82.

The white energy stuff iirc represents Live Wire blasting away at Jo.

I don't recognize any of those!

I'd have to go with the Legends of the Legion cover, because it's the best artwork of the bunch (even if a little overly-muscle-y), although I'm intrigued by 82 as well, because of the possibility of Tinya being there, 'in spirit,' so to speak. (Although the hand appears as large as his own, in perspective, so perhaps not.)

Both Legends and #82 suggest that there's going to be some sort of story inside. What does punching asteroids have to do with his Origin? Why would Tinya be phasing through him?

64 is just kinda there (maybe it's the size of the cover, but the white stuff isn't really obvious as lightning to me. A 'why is Garth or Ayla or Mekt blasting Jo' tease on the cover would have gotten my interest as well, but, without MLLASH telling me that it's Garth blasting him, I wouldn't have suspected that from the cover).

64 for me as well.

wow hard one...not exactly favorite of mine...I choose: 64 because of his first postboot appearance after the Legion got "zero-houred" out. It showed how he was street smart in the first place by joining the Workforce, IIRC.

I'll definitely go with 64 because it's so visually striking. Nice Lightle and Davis covers, though.

I'm voting for 64 for the same reasons as Officer Taylor. Actually, they are posted in the order I like them. :-)

Legends of the Legion, Lightle cover for me.

I'm going for #82. #64 looks too much like it should be Lightning Lad & Legends of the Legion just seems too standard for me.

All three are good, if not classic.

Despite it making Jo look like a buff Weird Al, I'll go with the Legends cover.

The first one wins for me. Lightle's never been my favorite, though he's not bad either.

I think it's actually Ayla who's blasting Jo. At least it's her at first, then I think Garth comes along later and says "That's MY SISTER!" and joins in the blast fest.

64 as well. Just plainly the best of the three...besides that last one just reminded me of the Apparition residing in Ultra Boy storyline...which was just kinda weird.

Legends #1 for me.

Tough one. I'll pick #64 by a nose. The eyes, square jaw, and pursed lips give Jo the most masculine appearance of the three. To me, Jo an Brin should always be portrayed as the most virile of the Legionnaires.
