335, the blue jacket really doesn't work for me on 317.

317 isn't bad, but I'm not crazy about the faces. They're kind of homogenized and inconsistent with how Jacques is usually depicted and with how distinctive Drake looked on the cover of 298, the issue to which 317 is a sequel. I recall being disappointed in 317's interiors by the same artist, IIRC. (The cover's unsigned as far as I can tell. Who was it...Jurgens? If so, he REALLY got better later on!) I think this was actually one of my favorite Legion comics, both in terms of art and because it's a rare moment when I felt genuine sympathy for Wildfire through the whole thing. I much prefer the more boyish look the guys had here. Less over-rendering from the inker(s) --not so much with the squinty eyes and lantern jaws and so on: the kind of thing that was more typical of the period.  Go figure.
Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on ipernity! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. *updated often!*

^Hey, different strokes and what-not, right? It's the faces primarily that don't work for me. Both have those plump, boyish faces that don't seem to fit other depictions. Certainly, Ordway nails Jacques better on his cover, IMO. If you remove the costumes and the white skunk stripe, I'd recognize Ordway's Jacques. And Giffen drew what I considered the definitive human Drake in 298. Shoemaker obviously didn't reference that or how other artists drew Jacques and just stuck them with more generic looks that are almost interchangeable with each other.
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

If I have to pick one of these two covers then it would have to be #317.
(but I'm not crazy about either one to be honest)

I'm also not crazy about either one, but I do like the wraith-like whatsis chasing Jacques and Drake and 317. Also, their movements seem more natural than those on the other cover.
So, 317 it is.

Alrighty then.
#317 = 11
335 = 13
Da Ordster takes this one. He stayed in the lead the entire time, but was close to loosing it there for a minute.

Although the Tales cover has Wildfire's classic costume, I don't find the cover very dramatic. The Legion Lost cover on the other hand is very dramatic.
My vote goes to Legion Lost.

Coipel. Hands down. No contest. No looking back.

I don't think that's one of Coipel's best covers, but that is my favourite Wildfire design (though Frank's has really grown on me) so my vote goes to Legion Lost as well.
