I vote for the Teen Titans cover because I like the exchange of imagery between the Titans half and the Legion half. Superboy is used here to both link and represent each group.

I tried to rip their soul out.I tried to make them forget Superman. But they won't.

Both are too crowded, but Jiminez does much more with his. So, the Special.

I dont like 247 because of the banner at the bottom.
I go with Jiminez all the way!

Gonna go with Titans/Legion by default.
#247 has to be one of the busiest covers in Legion history. Between the bullet, contest banner, price starburst, Comic Code shield, oversized logo, awkward text arrow, backup banner, signature, and UPC box, I understand why that poor alien is screaming.

I never liked either cover to be honest. If I had to pick one though it would be the Legion/Titans cover .... I was never a huge Staton fan either.

Titans/Legion. It's dynamic-ier.
(plus, Element Lad's hair on the cover of #247 is more frightening than the Fatal Five)

As I was scrolling down the page I saw #247 and thought 'OK, whatever's next wins'. But then I saw that it was the Titans/Legion issue and had to rethink that.
I'm not the Jimiez fan I once was. He's a poor man's Perez IMO. Though he's obviously a much better penciller than Staton technically. But this cover also has way too much of boring Kon-el and that dumb Fatal 500 plot device they used to replace the much-missed Reboot with the execrable Threeboot.
#247 is bad on a lot of levels but at least that goofy screaming guy in the foreground makes me chuckle and I normally love the device of having another little box or panel advertising a different story or element within an issue like this one has (though this one's is too big).
#247 for me.

Yick. I've actually never read either of these soI have no emotional ties, and I don't carte much for either.... Hmmm crossover.

I vote for #26 because I like the costume designs. The woman with the dark costume at the front is interesting. Who is she?

That is CARESS. A rare new Levitz villain. She was a bit of a spin on Mano. She had an 'acid touch', iirc.
I really, really like 26, but find it VERRRRY hard to vote against the SIlver-Agey costumes of SUPERBOY'S LEGION.
I may have to abstain on the grounds that I like both TOO much... I'll hold off voteing for now.

These two are as awesome as the last two were craptacular! This is so hard!
I'm going to go with Superboy's Legion, though, honestly, it's got as much to do with the fact that it's one of the greatest Legion stories of all time as much as with anything about the cover.

Agreed, but the battle with the Empress' F5 was also one of the most thrilling and scary battle scenes in LSH history. I'm still very torn on these covers.

True. They're both fantastic covers to fantastic stories, and another day I might go a different way.

I'm going with #26. The Superboy's Legion cover loks too crowded to me.
