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

I'll pick LEGENDS OF THE LEGION-- love that reboot costume. I also really like the little shadow-heads above the logo.

I agree with Lash that Coipel rocked Umbra's hair- though you don't really get a sense of it on that cover.

I think I had a letter printed in that issue of LEGIONNAIRES (which would've been my second choice, probably)-- if it wasn't that one it was soon after. It regarded the tryout issue.

Legion Lost #6. Coipel's Umbra looks like she can eat the other's for breakfast.

Love Coipel, but based on what I am seeing:

Legends

Of those three, I'll pick Legends.

Tough one, 'cause I love the Legends shot, but I'm gonna go with Legion Lost #6 instead.

I'd be more interested in picking that one up and seeing what's up with Tasmia and why she's unleashing her powers on Shikari and Cham.

The Legends shot is more of a neat pose, than a teaser for the story inside.

Catching up a bit. I've been away from the computer for a few days.

On votes that have closed:

For Reflecto, I would have chosen LSH #274 - Dramatic, clean images - a nice group shot in awesome costume designs.

For the return engagements - Sherman for his odd and crazy cover. Cockrum's is too serious. Frake should be over the top campy.

The current contest:

I vote for the Legends cover. Nice Lightle pose. Very sexy and I love the way Umbra's hair flares back.

Legion Lost #6

Legionnaires # 44. It's atmospheric and has depth, and Shady looks positively lovely--dig the detail-less "glowing" effect on her hands. (And Sneckie is not going to spoil it for me.)

Legion Lost.

Legends. I'm a sucker for a Lightle cover and I was never a fan of Coipel's work on the Legion (though I later realized it was more because I hated Lanning's inks). And the Moy cover, while I generally like his take on the team, his Shady is just not badass enough.

I seem to like my Legionnaires to be badass on covers. Interesting what you discover about yourself around here...

I loved Coipel's Umbra, especially his really developed look.
But I hate the shadow covering her nose!

I love Lightle's work but the belt bothers me, as do the Barbie legs.

Moy designed the Umbra look, with the short curly hair, the beautiful draped sleeves and the droopy belt.
Sneckie doesn't bother me at all, I kind of liked her.

And Umbra was totally 'bad-assed' in that issue.
A stinker, really.
Anyway, I vote for the Legionnaires cover.

I loved Coipel from his very first panel on the Legion but that Legion Lost cover is definitely not one of his best.

The Legends of the Legion one is OK but Legionnaires #44 is one of my favourite covers (and issues) from that whole run so it definitely gets my vote.

Jeff Moy is seriously underappreciated as an artist IMO. And Umbra's look/costume on that cover is my favourite ever for her.

All three covers are great, and Tas looks good in all of them so it's hard to decide on which one I like better.
I guess if I HAD to pick then I would choose Legion Lost.

Based solely on the character herself, I'll go with the Legionnaires cover. Stupid snake and a lousy E-Lad are ignored.

Normally I'd pick Lightle, but her legs and arms are too long and the belt is way too low. The whole thing just looks off.

Legion Lost is ok, but not enough of the character to get my vote.

brigot, that isn't E-lad on the Legionnaires cover. It is Magno.

Lightle for me.

Love that Lightle cover!

Hm. I like all three! I think I'll eliminate the LotL cover because it's more like a pin-up than a cover. I'll go with Lost #6 because of the mood and the power expression. Also love the expression on Cham's face!

Lost #6.

Quislet, Y'know I wasn't just sure who that was, and I was too lazy to get up and walk the six feet to actually check it out. Took a shot at it, missed. Thanks for the correction, though.

Man, that era was the closest I've ever come to dropping the Legion.

That era was when I did drop the Legion.

Seeing all these covers (thanks MLLASH btw) makes me wish there was some sort of website where a fan could go in, do a search for a specific Legion era and issue number and actually read the comic they selected online.
Is there such a site out there somewhere I wonder? I think someone would have heard about it by now if there were.
Still it would be so cool if it did exist.

My pleasure, Future King. Thanks for you guys' patience. BTW, I know of no such site... but that would be nice.

Lightle barely takes down Coipel!

Next face-off coming later today!
