LoSHin31stC #16 for me, as well. Both are humorous, but in the Impulse cover the humor's mostly in the dialogue. While the captions help out on the animated version, the humor is much more there in the image than the other.
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I'm going to be the iconoclast and vote for # 88. I don't much like the cartoon series art in a comic book.

AFOB. The looks on the Legionnaires' faces says it all.

I agree with HWW, and vote for #88. I love cartoons based on comic books, but I'm ultimately a comic book fan first. Davis gives a solid performance. Clean lines, a nice tribute, some humor, and Impulse pulling a super speed stunt. Nice.
Beauty's where you find it. Not just where you bump and grind it.

I'm gonna vote for the cover with the Alan Davis-looking version of Ayla on it.
The AFOB cover is more fun, but I like Ayla more than hollow-eyed cartoon Tinya or robo-Brainy.

I normally like detailed covers but that LoSH31 artist has put an unusual amount of effort into drawing every nook and cranny of the Legion's headquarters. I find it a bit distracting. Whereas Davis' more spartan cover sends your eyes straight to the center of attention.
Paradoxically though I prefer all the bright, eye-grabbing colours on the LoSH31 cover than I do Davis' boring (but inconspicuous) all-grey background.
Ultimately, I have to give the win to LoSH #88 though. Davis is one of my favourite artists and his clean, smooth lines here propel him over those of the LoSH31 artist IMO.

I really, really like 88. But...it's Arm-Fall-Off Boy.
The WB Toon cover.

HA! I love the Arm-Fall-Off Boy one, but I am voting for the Alan Davis cover because a) it's beeyootiful, b) it has the REAL Impulse, not this Kid Flash rassem frassem, and c) it's more recognisably a homage to the original cover.

AFOB's cover for me too! I loved that they paid homage to the cover of Adventure Comics #247.

Alan Davis cover, for me.
I love that Impulse 'pulls the plugs' on the no votes!
The one drawback is all of the word balloons when one sentence would have worked fine.
In the AFOB cover, no talking but well, his arms just fall off!
A singin' and a dancin'
along the way.

Well, Arms Fall Off Boy took an early runaway lead but Davis-lovers came up from behind!
FINAL TALLY:
LSH 31C 16.... 12 votes
LSH 88........ 11 votes
The tooniverse takes it (barely!)
