I'm surprised hardly anyone has voted for LSH #58. That's a strong cover IMO. Interesting perspective. Exciting subject matter. Vi in action. Great shot of Ayla's worried eyes dominating the top of the cover.
Instead, LSH #14 is getting loads of votes. What is (IMO) essentially yet another boring "stand-and-pose" cover, even with the standing on the finger and the reflection of the other characters in the eye.
I guess I'm just really at odds with what a lot of readers like on their covers these days.

Doesn't seem boring to me. The pose is handsome, without being annoyingly sexualized the way women so often are in comics. The novelty of the eye as backdrop is a nice change from the usual Vi-on-someone's-shoulder shtick. They're all very nice. I just happen to like the quality of the drawing and coloring best in that one. #58 is ambitious composition-wise, but her pose and expression seem a little stiff to me.

I really like 305 and 58. 34 is your typical "hero goes berserk" cover, which is unoriginal (even if its uncharacteristic of Vi to be the one going berserk). 14 is clever . . . but creepy. (I can't even stand to wear contact lenses!)
I'll go with 58 because Vi is actually doing something (as opposed to lying down, defeated). Her facial expression is a bit over the top, but the perspective and colors make up for it.

Blacula, re: 58-- the whole thing is over the top for me; I particularly never cared for Ayla's half-face looming over the scene-- for me, it did not look quite big enough.. perhaps if it had been only her eyes and a strand of hair instead of half her face, the perspective would have worked better for me. By that reasoning, the # 14 perspective DOES work for me. But I'll stand by my vote for 34. It's Vi kicking ass (well, punching face)... I like that

305- though 14 is close.
I don't think I've read my favorite version of Vi yet.

I might be off by one, but the count is pretty heavy anywho.
305 - 15
58 - 2
34 = 3
14 - 11

I'll go with LO3W, even though the upc and trademark placements are, to say the least, unfortunate.

I'm going with the Original. It is the only one showing him using his power. Technically, the Retrobbot has him using his power but without any metal around it is just circles around his hands.

Lightle edges out Kitson, for me.
Reboot and L3W are nice too.
