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

Lightle. I really liked the different line-up for the Fatal Five and wish it would get a similar shakeup now (but realize it most likely won't). Aside from that, I think the size of the figures make for a more focused image.

It's apples and oranges though. How can you lose choosing between Lightle and Davis?

What is the green bit behind the Elseworlds logo on the Davis cover?

Colossal Boy's puffy sleeve.

Superboy's Legion for me. Although the figures are somewhat awkward (particularly Superboy, whose arms look too small for his body), the cover has more personality and a sense of purpose.

The Lightle cover is gorgeously drawn, but it looks like an ad in a fashion magazine. The characters don't look as if they belong together; they might as well be cut-outs.

Anybody care for some orange and green? Not the best work from either Lightle or Davis, but the coloring of the first one is giving me a headache.

I'm going with Superboy's Legion.

i'm going for lighte....cause that Fatal 5 was totally bad ass.

Davis takes it...

ROUND 4 coming in mere seconds...

how 'bout a bit of GRELL ON GRELL action?




VS.

#231, it actually has Legionaires in the fight on the cover. Never really liked the Superboy is everything attitude, Mon-el's better in my book. I'd be happy if Superboy only showed up rarely or not at all.

PS// This FACE-OFF contest has been extended. There will be at least 6 rounds initially. There's some good F5 covers out there...

#231: The characters pop against the color more than they do in the similarly bright colored 219.

However, the prospect of Brainy/Shrinking Violet taking on the Fatal Five is a story I'd want to read, even if they apparently 'fail'. That cover makes it look like EE leads the Fatal Five, which she never did as long as Tharok was around. (Did we ever find out how he and Mano felt when she formed their group without them?)

It's this image of the Fatal Five clustered in this formation that I think of when I think of that group.

So, I'll pick 219, even though I think the other one's a better cover.

I always liked the weird tree and pink sky of 219, but I think Grell's anatomy issues are pretty evident there too. However, I loved and still to this day enjoy his art (and the inside story has the bonus of Grell art along with Light Lass smacking Mano with her purse!)

231, however, contains one of my favorite LSH stories ever.

231.

Hmm... I think I'll go with 219 as well. I find the fact that they're all flying in space with spacesuits and right next to a giant sun kind of distracting on the other one, and 219 has the groovy looking alien tree.

231. The pink is a bit bright on 219, it hurts my eyes...

231!

I like 231 better because Grell's style is more identifiable there. The featureless ground (sand?) that the unconscious Legionnaires are lying on 219's doesn't help it either. Plus, Imra's bikini seems more revealing than ever on 231!

231

231 ...

"Grell on Grell action" ... tee hee!

231 for me.

I liked the story better in 219, but I have to go with 231 based on the covers.

231, for reasons others have already expounded upon (more Legionnaires, less painful pink skies, etc.).

...and all that skin Imra shows?

#219 for me. I just like The Emerald Empress' word balloon.
