L* #39 for me...I really like the idea of the possibility of Triad having three different powers..as I saw the cover..I was like cool one is a power house....one is meek....and one is in the middle...NIce....but not what I expected when I read it. Still, the idea did have potential! so it got my vote.

Hmmm - There are things I like and dislike about all three of these covers... L* #39 - I LIKE Moy. I DISLIKE that 'heart's desire' plotpoint (no prizes for guessing why ). LoSH #3 - I LIKE the idea of the cover. I DISLIKE the costume and the Threeboot as a whole. LoSH31 #8 - I LIKE the idea and all the love hearts. I DISLIKE that look for Lu and that I also thought it was Dream Girl when I first looked at it. As a cover alone, I would vote for LoSH31 #8. As a Triplicate Girl cover, I would vote for LoSH #3. Hmmm... LoSH #3 for the win.

Wow, I actually didn't realise the orange one was Lu as well until you wrote that and I went looking for her...she blends into the background too much and even when I did notice her I just assumed she was Sun Boy from the colors...the idea for the Animated cover is really cute, but the execution needs a lot of work. I choose the Kitson one. It's just a pinup shot yeah, but it's quite elegant, and I can see it being an iconic cover for Triplicate Girl homages..

Do not like the WB cover. The other two are pretty close. I'll take #39 because of the action and I like the idea of differemt personalities.

Though I disliked the threeboot and never read # 3, I'm voting for that cover anyway. It's like one of those "Find six differences between these drawings" games, except that there are only three differences: the fingers raised. (Well, four if you count the fact that middle Lu is taller than the rest or is perhaps standing in front of the other two.) I also like her mysterious expression, and the artwork is the best of the three (though the vibrant coloring on # 39 nearly got my vote).

Honestly, I didn't judge based on which was the best Lu cover but on which was simply the best. That's how, ultimately, I judge all the FACEOFFs irregardless of any other theme that Lash has chosen. The animated cover is just so utterly charming.
Plus, dig those crazy boots on animated Trips! Never noticed those before on the series...LOVE 'em!
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I would have liked to see the Kitson cover against the Hughs cover since there are more similarites between them.
But, while I love Kitson and don't fault the cover artist for using the colors that the series used for Lu (face it, the white look is very riviting, that's one of the reasons that Nura is so popular), I'm going with the Moy cover. I LIKED the idea of Lu having different personalities and powers, even if the final take wasn't what I would have written.
So, Moy.
A singin' and a dancin' along the way.

I'm with you, Otie... seeing that cover again is making me want to reread the LSH31C series.

#3, without a doubt. I'll take Kitson's mature take on the team over the somewhat or extravagantly juvenile looks on the other covers. (I like Moy's art, but strongly prefer Kitson's.) Also, as an overall cover, I think #3 works best. The "lens flare" in the middle of #39 is a bit too aggressive and ends up obscuring too much of the central image. #8's cover is just too busy (and count me as one of those wondering what the heck Dreamy was doing with Chuck). The image on #3 creates interest more effectively than the other two. I'm also a fan of the retro logo, which is particularly eyecatching on this cover.

Jerry, Stuorstew, thanks for the welcome back!
And thanks to everyone for voting, but I think it's time for a FINAL TALLY...
LEGIONNAIRES 39... 4 votes
LSH 3 (Kitson)... 21 votes
LSH 31c... 8 votes
A decisive win for Kitson but also proof positive that other styles have their fans!
Next Face-Off coming shortly!
