#366- because on the other one it looks like Emerald Empress is checking out Validus' backside and that makes me squirm a bit.
366 is Neal Adams! I love his work.

That Staton cover is very "cartoony" in that it looks like it could have been lifted out of a filmation toon, or even an early Super Friends cartoon.
That said, I'll go with the Titans/Legion Special, for better composition (and lots of Validuses).

Though I'm not crazy about what that Titans/Legion Special represented for the reboot Legion, it's definitely a much better cover than the first. (I mean what the HELL is up with Element Lad's HAIR in that cover?!?!)
Jimenez is the man!
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I'll go with the Titans/Legion cover as well, even though I'm not a fan of either one. I hate the idea of Gim fighting Validus, plus the "247th anniversary" blurb bugs me.

I don't care for super-hero free-for-all covers. They tend to be overcrowded, hyper-dramatic, and almost needy in their attempt to get my attention. These two covers, sadly, embody all of these traits.
No. 247 almost gets my vote because of the eye-catching device of Gim's fist extending over the logo; however, the size of the logo and the panel at the bottom crowd out the main artwork.
The Titans/Legion special was the last issue I bought before I stopped reading the Legion altogether. It's hard for me to separate those feelings from the merits of the cover itself; however, I have zero interest in Kon-El/Superboy Prime, whose overly dramatic anguish takes up entirely too much space.
No vote for me.

I'll give the 247 Staton cover some love.
The alien looks like he's about to scream "STOP TRAMPLING MY SPACE-ROSEBUSHES!!!" or something and it amuses me.
And back then I did not know the signifigance of the 247, so I learned something.

Both covers have too much of the picture crowded out by side panels or logos or bottom panels. Very annoying.
I own both of these issues, and this is one of the few issues I have of the reboot team.
It's a hard choice, since there are artistic elements I like on both covers, but I'm gonna have to vote for the Titans / Legion special.
I'd be far more intrigued as to why there were multiple Validus' etc. on the TTLSH cover than I would be about why Spotty McCrazyEared alien is going to stop the battle in 247.

#247 for me.
The Crossover cover loses due to the fact that the side logo takes up too much of the action space and Superboy is too big, prominent for me.
#247 has more focus on Legionnaires while showing Superboy for those superficial buyers that need a Superperson on their covers.

Hey guys... anyone interested in going through a 'loser's bracket' so to speak, to give whichever covers lose each round another chance? It would extend this out a bit longer but might be fairer to some deserving covers.

247 for me a more exciting cover of the two and thankfully not featuring the words Teen Titans.
@mllash - I think a losers bracket would be a good idea. Some darn fine covers have gone out and they deserve another chance. (TMK #4 is one that springs to mind)

Legion/Titans
The Staton cover is way too cartoony (not that there's anything wrong with that in the right circumstances) and Jimenez is just plain awesome.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

Titans/Legion is my pick, but I don't much care for either cover.
I've never liked the cover to 247 and there are too many characters drawn too small on the Titans/Legion cover. And way too much Superboy.

(TMK #4 is one that springs to mind) I should have specified the that I was referring to these FATAL 5 covers, but I like revisiting some of the other covers too. After this, I'll start doing "2nd Chance FaceOff"s semi-regularly... thanks for the idea.

Too much Superboy on The Legion/Titans special. Plus it was the gateway to the 3boot. Didn't much like the 3boot.
So what.

I really don't like Staton, and this cover is no exception. Besides, I had a lot of fun finding all the "Where's Waldo" Legionnaires, Five, and Titans in the other. I am a big fan of exploring personal duality and Superboy's split image appeals. I vote Titans.

I don't like either. I'll vote for the Titans/Legion special because it is Jimenez and I can see that he put some effort into it. Ultimately, it is too crowded, though.
Beauty's where you find it. Not just where you bump and grind it.
