The ALL-STAR COMICS cover creeps me out. I have no idea why.

On the other hand, JLA #21 is awesome. There are so many odd little bits, like the JLAers are all holding hands differently. Black Canary is giving Batman a “come hither” look.

ADVENTURE COMICS #247 always make me laugh.

The Desparo cover is so surreal.

I guess it’s possible someone might never have seen any of these covers, but that’s hard to imagine if one is reading a lot of “mainstream” DC comics.

And yes, COIE #7 does harken back to XMen 136, but as has been pointed out elsewhere, both of those images go back a lot older than that. I think that Perez’s cover added a new spin to the image (the fact that scores of characters are all standing around the background) that has itself become part of future homages.

Everyone of those is an excellent choice. Might be the first time all 4 are possibilities.

I’d say (e) as in none of the above.
Sorry Mr. B.C.

These covers just don’t feel iconic to me.

The classic Justice League Covers are awesome, definitely much more iconic and memorable than the stories inside the book usually were. Does anyone know if the covers have ever been compiled in a book, like they have done, for example, with the covers of Preacher and 52?

Legion of Superheroes? Never even heard of ‘em.

Really? Never seen these? Or the eighty eleventeen times the first three have been homaged? You either don’t read superheroes, DC or comics at all.

I forgot all about JLA #21. That’s a top 5 prospect for sure. And I love how everyone is holding hands, even little Ray grasping Batman’s finger. Seance aside — how cute is that?

I think that Adventure Comics cover might be my #1 and I’m not really a LSH fan at all.

Wow, this could be the most iconic batch yet. I can’t even pick the most iconic. I will repeat my stance that COIE#7 is just a rip-off/homage/swipe of Byrne’s Uncanny X-Men # 136, though. snootch-to-the-bootch

Yawn…more iconic covers I’ve never even seen before…

Preeeeetty sure that says more about you than anything else.

I’m having enough trouble narrowing down a top ten, and now that JLA/JSA cover has messed up my selections even more!

so many good choices, I’m probably going to be heart-broken about at least 5 that I’ll have to omit from my list.
