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

But I like that Davis fits in 16 (!!!) Legionnaires.

Good Lord, it's hopeless...!!

And, of course, it's crowded with the forms of fallen Legionnaires, which adds to its badassness!

As much as I love Steve Lightle art,I have to go with the Alan Davis cover on Superboy's Legion, because it was such a great Legion story, at a time when there wasn't many of those around for quite awhile.

Superboy's Legion

I don't like either Persuader helmet in these covers, but the Davis on gets the edge for a good Validus (thought Lightle's "New Blood" are great).

Even though the Persuader's helmet design makes him look like a Scrubbing Bubble, I'm going with the Davis.

Davis. Lightle. Davis. Lightle.
sigh

Davis. Lightle.
It's nice to have hard choices like this.

I'm going to go with Superboy's Legion.

Do you notice how many good fire villianesses there are?
Flare, Beauty Blaze, Inferno.
Even though they're rarely used.

Davis.

Lightle wins it for me. #26!

A tough one.

But Lightle(LSH #26)wins it. Something else else about that cover has always appealed to me.

Some of the characters on the Davis cover just look awkward to my eyes.

I love them both! Oh, such an agonizing choice!

I'm going to go with the cover that has
a) Legionnaires on it and
b) Star Boy in his old costume! and
c) Sarya in puffy sleeves.

There's a neat bit of misdirection there, too (or perhaps a mistake?). Gim wasn't in that issue, but his giant hand is on the cover. Lightning Lad was in that issue, and is the only member of 'Superboy's Legion' to not appear on the cover.

The way Rokk's arm sort of vanishes beneath Sarya's cloak is also a cute nod to what happened in the story.

Not to mention half a Star Boy's face being hidden.

Aaaaarrrggghhhhhhh!!!!!
WHY did it have to come down to these two awesome covers??? WHY????????
lol
I'm a huge Lightle AND a Davis fan so this is a tuffy!

My head is saying Lightle's cover ... but my heart says Davis.
The art is a bit better style-wise (if I had to choose), plus I totally enjoyed the Superboy's Legion story much more than that particular Fatal Five story.

#26. Gorgeous work by Steve Lightle.

omg this is hard...

lightle - but it was damn close

I officially abstain.

I hope the last one isn't this difficult...

#26 appeals to me on many levels, but I've never seen the Davis cover before and it looks amazing.

Superboy's Legion.

I love Alan Davis, but to me this isn't a terribly spectacular example of a Davis cover. It's excellent, but both Superboy's Legion covers are dominated by their logos. I didn't really care for that element.

I also love me some Lightle, and some of his very best covers came during the Sensor Girl/New Fatal Five arc. I love how they're presented here, even if they're a little too posed.

Lightle and 26 for the win!

go with #26, easily...the simplicity wins.

Much prefer the second. The logo's integrated well (not a common thing) and the imagery is striking.

Blasphemy for an old-time fan like me: but the Lightle one isn't one of his better efforts. It's kind of ho-hum to me. Sorry.

Davis - Superboy's Legion.

I loved this version of the Legion.

Davis!

(even if his Persuader helmet does make him look like the Maxx)
