Wow! I had no idea they changed the colours in foreign editions of comics. I wonder what... Romeo Tanghal (was that the NTT colorist?) thought of that.
As for these versions - the new Spanish version of #3 is UG.LY! Hate it.
I sort of don't mind the orange/brown background on #6 but Trigon really should have stayed his own red color since he's meant to be the main focus and shouldn't be melting into the background.

That's right! Thanks FL. I had all those names floating around in my head but couldn't remember who did what.

Hmmm. Both great covers but they don't stand out to me the way others by Perez do.
I think I'd have to say I prefer the Hyperion one because I'm a sucker for floating heads (though the fact that Wally's is slightly off-line bugs).

Definitely the first one. It's got Paradise Island as a backdrop, and Kory and Donna fighting to 'save the ones they love' (which, presumably, are the boys watching from off-panel, making the boys the 'damsels in distress,' which is always fun!).
The second one does benefit from having the entire team present, even if, typically for a cover, the speedster, the fastest flier and the teleporter are, as usual, in the back, not having caught up with the lumbering cyborg or the teen acrobat...
What good is being able to run at a significant fraction of the speed of light if the kid who swings on a rope always gets there first?

I don't have any criticisms of these two, but I don't LOVE either one, either. I prefer the more detailed background of #5 ----somewhat like #13, which is also semi-"dark). I don't care that much for floating heads.
Did Hyperion and Trigon go to the same Villain Posing College?

Same outfit, more or less, too. Strappy thing across chest, mostly to hold the cape on. Some flowy cloth over the junk. Sandals.
You'd think being a god would come with a wardrobe allowance.
I wonder if Trigon the Terrible is related to Hagar the Horrible? Or possibly Iago the Inadmissible?

Villains hate wearing underpants! why? Because they're EVIL! They probably like to start sentences with because as well!!! (and use excessive !!!!!!!!!! )

I took another look at #5. I like the way the curved decorative beams give shape to the cover and frame the logo. I'm liking this one more.
