Author	Topic: Countdown to Legion 12: Predicting the Back 4
Osgood Peabody Member	posted March 28, 2003 01:59 PM 12 days to Legion 12. Time to travel back to the '70s and forecast your selection of the Final 4 to make the back cover of the upcoming Legion volume. We have for your perusal a selection of 11 Superboy/LSH covers and 1 Karate Kid cover - all the work of Mike Grell, and most unfortunately with the hideous "cigar-band" across the top that DC employed in the mid-70s. We have still not had anyone strike gold - the closest being 3 for 4, by Will for Dynamic Duo, and Lightning + Chemicals for the Spectre. Here is the slate: S/LSH 213 S/LSH 214 S/LSH 215 S/LSH 216 S/LSH 217 S/LSH 218 S/LSH 219 S/LSH 220 S/LSH 221 S/LSH 222 S/LSH 223 KK 1 Since I have absolutely no shame, having gone 1 for 8 the last 2 months, I'll kick things off. I had little exposure to the '70s Legion, so this is a stab in the dark for me: 215, 217, 219, and 221. I debated about whether they'll pick the Karate Kid, but it's just not a great cover IMO. Good luck! IP: Logged

Osgood Peabody Member	posted March 28, 2003 02:13 PM OK - let's try an alternate link for the covers since that didn't seem to work: S&LSH 213 S&LSH 214 S&LSH 215 S&LSH 216 S&LSH 217 S&LSH 218 S&LSH 219 S&LSH 220 S&LSH 221 S&LSH 222 S&LSH 223 KK 1 IP: Logged
davidbstewart Member	posted March 28, 2003 02:25 PM I'll go with 215, 216, 221, and KK 1. ------------------ -Dave davebstew@yahoo.com IP: Logged
NecessaryImpurity Member	posted March 28, 2003 02:34 PM As covers go, these are an uninspired lot. Why is every other cover has half the Legion sprawled unconscious? 215, 217, 218, 223 IP: Logged
TheRogueLegionnaire Member	posted March 28, 2003 02:35 PM 213, 216, 220 and KK 1. I'll bet I missed them all. IP: Logged

RIC Member	posted March 28, 2003 02:45 PM Okay, I'll play this time. I bought these off the shelf, so I feel like I have a better grip on which of these covers really grabbed me at the time. Here goes: 213, 216, 223, and KK 1 I hope I'm right, I HOPE I'm right... Ric IP: Logged

chris_ccl Member	posted March 28, 2003 05:30 PM S/LSH 213 S/LSH 214 S/LSH 222 KK 1 I didn't even order this one. A complete shot in the dark. Chris ------------------ Collected Comics Library T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents IP: Logged

Clarity Member	posted March 28, 2003 08:31 PM I'm going with davidbstewart's selections -- Saturn Girl's eyecatching pose on 215, Tyroc's debut on 216, Charma's wiles on 221, and a nod to Karate Kid's solo series with ish #1. IP: Logged

Carsda Member	posted March 28, 2003 09:00 PM OK... I had to think about this one for a while. As I've done in the other rounds, I try to guess before looking at what other people have picked. I went back and forth with several covers, including 215 & 217, but in the end I'm going with these: 216 219 223 KK 1 I think Karate Kid is a given, and I also feel strongly that a Tyroc cover will be featured--and 216's his first appearance. (it's too bad that all of the worthwhile early Tyroc issues will be in the same archive). 219 has Fatal Five and 223 features Time Trapper, so I think they might be worthwhile also. IP: Logged

Wow, this is spooky. I looked at the covers and made my picks, and then I scrolled down to reply. Not only are these my picks, but that was the exact reasoning I used to pick them, too. Great minds, and all that, eh Carsda? Except of course if we're wrong.; IP: Logged
Cloneranger Member	posted March 28, 2003 10:19 PM Sorry, messed up my wink. There, that feels much better. IP: Logged
Not My Real Name Member	posted March 28, 2003 10:30 PM I'm going to gamble on Karate Kid not making the back cover. 213 216 217 223 You know, as much as the "cigar band" cover is ridiculed, I prefer that to the "Ralston Purina" checker board covers that came out in the late 60s. ------------------ -Mario IP: Logged
Lightning + Chemicals Member	posted March 28, 2003 10:33 PM 213 (great space monster) 215 (great mountains of Saturn) 220 (great Superboy with energy blast) 223 (Time Trapper gets physical) IP: Logged

Corrosive Kid Member	posted March 29, 2003 10:32 AM quote: Originally posted by CMCINTYRE3600: Umm, none of those links are working for me. Sorry. Chris That's because of Geocities policy of not allowing direct links to image files. The links should go directly to the html pages which contain said covers. Just change the .jpg at the end to .html and they work fine. Can you tell I don't like Geocities? IP: Logged
