Raise your hand if you REALLY want to see Conner kick SBP's ass.
*raises hand*

and vote for Krypto ripping off SB-Prime's nads after Connor whups his ass? Ya know, I think that if I had been stuck in some alternate dimension for 20 years or so the first thing I might do when leaving is change my frigging clothes and get out of the damned Superboy outfit or the gold-lame jumpsuit. At least Alexander Luthor used his time in limbo to good purpose getting rid of the mullet he had in COIE.

Yeah, Conner Superboy all the way.

I'm having my doubts about Conner's abilities though since earth prime superboy might be able to completely thrash Kon-El if he's boosted by reg DC's sunlight to considerably more powerful levels.

Superboy Prime's never done anything to me personally so I feel neutral.

I suppose I'll back our Abercrombie & Fitch model Superboy anyway though.

(How did his hair grow back so quickly, btw? Didn't he shave himself bald when he went evil briefly?)

Just thought I'd start up a thread on which covers we have... and want. I'm no longer one of those collectors who buys two of each comic just to get both covers. I used to on certain occasions, but I don't now.

So with Infinite Crisis, I pick the cover that appeals to me most.
With George Perez and Jim Lee, I don't feel I can go wrong either way, but since the subject matter and characters are different, I can usually make up my mind fairly quickly.

#1, Perez: I went with the Perez cover because I liked the Trinity in the middle with their proteges next to them, and the villains within the shadows.

#2, Lee: I just really liked the way Lee drew Power Girl, and the group behind her was really cool. Static poses, sure, but I ejoyed the aestetics of this cover over the Perez one, which had too much going on for me.

#3, Lee: Not being a huge WW fan nor particularly fond of the new OMACs, picking the Batman/Superman cover was a no-brainer. Also, the old Robin and Catwoman outfits help sell this one to me.

As for future issues, I am still drawn to the Perez cover with Donna's group sucked into an anamoly... and the harder one to decide on is Superman vs. Superman or Superboy vs. Superboy, which I just saw online today.

I had to get the Jim Lee #3, because my god it's fu*king amazing. To be honest seeing the preview for this cover sold me on the whole series, and got me excited about it.

Also the Perez one for #1 is one of my favorite covers I've seen. I really like the layout etc.

jwd

12-26-2005, 07:35 PM

I think Perez is the better artist by far. I was going to get all his covers but ... when 3 came along I had to get the Lee cover with Batman and E2 Batman, Catwoman, baby Helena and Dick Grayson.

hangmanjury

12-26-2005, 07:48 PM

I think there's some inside marketing ploy within DC telling the artists which of them should be drawing the better cover. I'm sure most people favored Perez's #1 and Lee's #3. And it did seem highly uncharacteristic for George to go with such an... underwhelming cover for #3.

tk421atpost

12-26-2005, 07:55 PM

Perez all the way for me.

On a related note, I visit two comic shops on a regular basis and one of them sells more of the Lee cover while the other one sells more of the Perez. It's interesting to see how the audience tastes are different between the two shops.

When it comes to Perez -vs- Lee the Nerd is all Perez baby! The Lee stuff just doesn't cut it for me. Sure I loved the Hush but Lee's pencils couldn't get me to buy that Superman story. Perez was meant to do these covers-period. Though I'm not big on the Lee covers, they're (barely) ranking above the worst series of covers in the past year-(in my opinion) Identity Crisis!

I went with all the Jim Lee covers.

Nothing wrong with the Perez ones and I actually liked his cover for IC #1 but I think it's nicer to have another artist of the more current generation do his thing for the covers so that it won't feel like I dunno....a IC cover artist retread?

I also liked the Lee covers for #2 and #3 since they looked nicer and made those Crisis characters look cooler than ever.

Perez for 1 and 2.

I only got Lee's cover for #3 because of its focus on Batman..

ScottDMSimmons

12-26-2005, 11:00 PM

It seems Lee's Superboy vs Superboy cover is Issue #4... so that will be in the running against Perez's cover with Donna's team. Well, knowing that now, I think it will be the Perez cover I'll pick up, even though I like the art on the Superboys cover.

Issue #5 is Superman vs. Superman. I just don't know what Lee can do to top that or to keep me from getting that one... unless it's Superman vs. Superman too? Haha.

We haven't seen all of the art from Perez's #6 cover (the one with shards from the Earths).

I've bought both covers for each issue. I generally like Perez's work more than Lee's. Perez's covers appealed to me more for INFINITE CRISIS # 1 and # 2, but I liked Lee's cover for # 3 more.

I bought both covers for #1 and #2. Haven't been to my shop since #3 came out because of the holidays. I'll probably get whatever my shop put in my file unless they've got some still on the shelf then I'll get both for #3.

Phoney Bone

12-28-2005, 12:05 AM

In this fight, SBP. Because he's right, to an extent. Conner has it all... a girl who loves him... friends who would do anything for him... the Kents who love him... the coolest damn dog in the whole world... SBP would give anything to have the life Conner has, yet Conner just sits on his cloned butt and pouts.

He deserves a beatin'.

Then, after a sound thrashing by SBP, Conner gets his crap together and relizes that, yes, all comic book clones suck by their very nature. However, that isn't an excuse to be a moaning little baby. He sucks it up, trounces SBP, and makes the kid realize that he's being manipulated.

I've been selecting the cover I like most. So far, I've been alternating between the two artists.

#1: Lee. The Perez cover was terrible. Way too messy.

#2: Perez. I'm a sucker for "Where's Waldo?" kind of covers. Plus, the COIE characters on the Lee cover just didn't look right.

#3: Lee. Batman facing his Earth-2 counterpart is a fanboy's dream.

#4: Perez. The space heroes getting sucked into a black hole is a much more interesting visual. Lee's Superboy vs. Superboy cover would be an OK interior page, but as a cover? Snore.

Lee's going to have to come up with something awesome to beat out Perez's Kal-L vs. Kal-El cover for #5.

1. Perez, though I liked the Lee one, too.
2. Lee. I don't know why, the Perez one didn't grab me.
3. Lee. Stunning cover, one of the best i've seen in a while. Perez's was just average.
4. Perez. The Superboy/Superboy cover is okay, but not great.
5. Unless Lees is really special, Perez.

mswood

12-28-2005, 04:12 PM

All Perez

And while I liked the layout a lot for number 3 of Lee's. I just don't like his finished art anywhere near as much as Perez.

So while I thought the WW cover was fairly standard Perez WW, I still like the finished product more.

As for issue 4, on Lee's the bodies of Superboy and Connor just don't seem like they fit next to each other.

Keith_Martineau

12-28-2005, 04:46 PM

Jim Lee was, is, and continues to be my favorite artist (although For Tomorrow proved that not even a spectacular artist can save a bad story.) I'm on a pre-pay deal with my shop for IC, and I had to chooce Lee or Perez, and so of course I chose Lee. I'd never argue who is a better artist though. Jim Lee is as huge a fan of Perez as the rest of us.

That said, I think his #1 cover has more energy, but I absolutely love the generational aspects of Perez cover. I'm also a little sorry I won't be getting the Perez cover for #5, cause Superman on Superman violence is just awesome.

Gentlegamer

12-28-2005, 04:48 PM

I like all the covers so far, and I am buying both, though I generally prefer Perez (makes feel even more thematically linked to Crisis on Infinite Earths).

My favorites so far:
#1 Perez
#2 Perez
#3 Lee

Babylon23

12-29-2005, 08:56 PM

I' hoping that SBP will kick Conner's butt from one end of the DCU to the other. Give him a bit of a wakeup call. Then Conner can get his act together, stop whining, and beat down on SBP at the end of IC.

caboose

12-29-2005, 09:14 PM

If DC are being serious about SBP being a bad guy, then SBP really needs to put Connor into some kind of coma or even death, thus setting Kal-El off on a revenge mission against a massively strong SBP (with Alex in is his corner).

Then they can repeat the Vader-Luke-Emperor situation with Kal-L as Vader.

Babylon23

12-29-2005, 09:44 PM

All Perez for me. He's one of my favourite artists, and I've loved his covers on IC.

However, I thought the composition of Lee's cover for issue 3 was very good. However, I'm not a huge fan of his finished art, so I stuck with Perez.

Black Hole

12-30-2005, 11:58 AM

I'm not really seeing how regular continuity Superboy (Kon-El) can even hope to survive a fight with SBP, much less win. He's just not on the same power scale.

I suspect the fight will be poorly written (jobbed if you will), with the two trading blows, when with SBP's superior speed, strength and invulnerability, not to mention his rage at Kon-El, the fight should be over in about a second.

Of course, that would be boring, so I'm sure it will be a knock-down drag-out battle royale.

p.s. what exactly are SBP power levels anyway? sounds like hes a frickin power house or something.

Before he destroyed the watchtower he basically beat J'onn down so they could put him on some machine. When powergirl discovered said machine, SBP then takes her out with very little effort

p.s. what exactly are SBP power levels anyway? sounds like hes a frickin power house or something.

He's probably stronger than both Kal-el and Kal-L..altho I wouldnt be surprised if alex turned out to outpower them all, especially if he can shoot out blasts of anti matter

wow, thanx. how can he be soooo powerful? and if he is that much of a threat then he should DEFINATLY stick around after the crisis, he could not only be a great addition to supermans rogues gallery, but a threat to DC as a whole. so im rooting for my boy Superboy-prime :)

01-02-2006, 10:48 AM

If you look at future cover solicitations (Robin), it looks like Connor is still alive, but has been captured. Don't know if it's by Sboy Prime, but chances are that it's likely...

MythicBrawn

01-04-2006, 06:11 AM

I'm not sure but isn't SBP way more powerful than Conner? Is his power level similar to pre-Crisis Superboy? If so, then Conner doesn't stand a chance. They need to kill each other and the little dog too. Wasn't the object of CoIE to trim down the DC Universe? They brought back Superboy, Supergirl and Krypto. From Superman/Batman Public Enemies, it looks like multi-colored kryptonite is now a possibility. Why make the change if you're only going to bring it back.

Groifer

01-04-2006, 04:21 PM

Has Superboy Prime ever really shown himself to be of E-1 Superman's power level or is this just something that's being assumed? I think that I've read most of his adventures and I've never really seen him do much of anything.

Don't know if this has been posted before.. but I noticed on the back of CSN this week it had the cover for issue 4, however the imagine isn't full cropped. At first I had just dismissed it as the cover 4 we had all seen but it wasn't. Take a look here: http://img448.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ic49jn.jpg
Take a look to the right of Donna and to the left of Bumblebee. Its not that great of a spoiler but I thought it was cool. Sorry if this has been posted before :)

Spoilers or info anyone?

Adam Crocker

01-08-2006, 12:26 PM

A scan of the same cover from Wizard was already posted, though it was spread out across a two page spread and I believe attached to an article so it wasn't as clear.

In either case I suppose that the ending of IC #3 renders the full image moot as spoilers are concerned.

Official logos pasted from other files? Heavy handed use of PhotoShop filters? No visual element whatsoever to identify it as a Perez or Lee cover? I find it highly unlikely that Issue 7 will look anything like this monstrosity.

I feel the same way. I can't find the faintest trace of ink on that cover. It looks like something I'd cook up in Photoshop, and I'm mostly a hack when it comes to that.

Besides why didn't you post the link to the story instead of linking directly to the picture?

DC do use misdirection quite often, though I think this cover is just giving us half the story. There is more than likely someone beneath the logos, and chances are, that is that will make this cover great. Who that is, is unknown. Let's just pray it's not the Anti-Monitor *shudders*

I love the scarlet knights, just love them, they're one of my favorite universities, in all the land.

When I was a senior at Cal, during the dismal football year of 2002 (the last year before Jeff Tedford was hired), I sat through that entire, putrid, home schedule at memorial stadium. Every single game, Cal lost, and lost big. It was the last year of the Holmoe era, and the team had fallen apart. However, our boys did beat one team at home that year: Rutgers. The scarlet knights saved us from a totally winless season, and gave all of us in Berkeley something to cheer about, at a time when very little good was happening. For that, I will always be thankful to Rutgers.

Oh, and I haven't seen the Jim Lee cover to IC #5 yet either.

I'm glad its a 7 issue series because this decision is going to come down to the wire. I predict Perez will take 6 once we see what those fragments REALLY are

I was sure I'd be getting all Perez covers for this series, but I've been surprised twice now. There was no way I wasn't getting the Lee cover for #3 (Earth 2 Robin versus Themyscira? Pleeeeeeease), and despite liking both covers for #4, I opted to get Lee's because it fit the story better.

So I guess it'll come down to which story in #5 I like better; Superman versus Superman, or "The B Team". :)

Although Perez is indeed good with complex covers (like his work on the PeeGee cover), I still love Lee's work. The art just really does it for me. Its exactly how I think they should look, and the covers are usually extremely relevant and interesting. I think we'll need to do a side-by-side comparison some time. Perhaps when all covers have been released.

666MasterOfPuppets

02-09-2006, 06:44 AM

Agreed.

I'm not saying that Lee's covers aren't good. But I've always seen Perez's covers as the ones that really portray what's going on in the comic book. Just by looking at those, you can sense the conflict, the tension, and the drama that's IC's general feeling.

Oh HELL YEAH!!

Perez wins again! All Perez, all the time!

Lee draws lifeless-looking statues. Perez draws living, breathing people.

Perez draws characters and panels that are full of life, full of motion, even if it's a talking head. Look at the sheer savagery and power depicted on that cover...

Lee's version is Cover Template #72 "Characters Thrusting Toward Reader". If they ever have him do a series featuring those three characters, you can bet the cover to #1 will look similar to IC #5.

This is the first cover of Lee's that I wasn't so happy with.

I dunno, Blue Beetle looks a bit too muscular for a kid there and his Booster Gold doesn't seem as cool. The Perez Superman vs Superman cover looks hard to top so I MIGHT go with that one instead but since I've gotten all the Lee covers (since I thought most of the Perez covers looked boring) I'll probably continue the Lee renditions.

That could be it...It's really hard to tell due to the quality and angle of the picture. There appears to be little telltale signs that he's drawn her as an older woman...Are those crowsfeet or hair? The line of the jaw isn't straight or is that just shadow? Bags under the eyes or, again, shadow? It's too hard to tell from the image.

Is that our familiar, Post-COIE, George Perez-redesigned, Max Lord-killing Wonder Woman, or is it the long-lost, Pre-COIE, Silver/Bronze Age, Earth-One Wonder Woman who was "killed" by the Anti-Monitor during COIE?

I keep feeling that the *real* Earth-One characters (not their Post-COIE retconned Modern Age counterparts) are getting shafted in INFINITE CRISIS...

So, what will happen to WW? Honestly, I still think it's Diana and Donna.

Capt USA

02-13-2006, 07:24 AM

You haven't even read one bit of the series to say that though. And I love the new Blue Beetle design, it rocks more than Ted's even.

I hate the new uniform, I hate a character getting a power that he doesn't want or that he has no motivation to have, It worked with Kyle Raynor, but it has failed on so many other characters in the past that I can't see it working at all.

Blue Beetle was one of my favorite DC characters, at least potentially, when they didn't write him as a joke or as a partner to that faux super hero booster gold. Here is a guy with motivation, who worked to become what he was, without having the batman obsession. Now we have a teenager (hmm, talk about original, lets give a person insect name and make him a teenager, what is he going to get attacked by, the purple orc? maybe lose his love interest gilda simmons to the same orc on top of a bridge.) Anyway the costume is ugly, it looks like the soldier costumes from any number of darkseid issues.

I'm going to get the blue beetle series, but it just seems already like so much of a rip off of spiderman/new gods that it's going to be tough for it to get itself out of the sizeable pit it's already buried in.

I think the cover looks cool, but I'm a bit concerned about where the title is going to go.

PatrickG

02-14-2006, 12:09 PM

I'm not too worried.

It's pretty obvious that a number of these covers are photoshop composites utilizing several pieces of art.

We saw three versions of Perez's cover to #4. One without Alex Luthor's hands, one with his hands stretching vertically and the finished cover with the hands stretching horizontally.

It seems in each case that the "spoiler element" is a separate piece of art.

The two Wonder Women are almost certainly a separate piece of art.

This covers how DC released a version of the cover without them and how DC will eventually release a version where they don't conflict with the logo.

Oh... And in the event DC is feeling tricky, they COULD have, say, gone online and read the speculation about Earth-2 Diana, had Jim Lee draw two quick face sketches and tossed them in where the REAL art will go.

mohammedali

02-14-2006, 12:18 PM

I would laugh if that was true. Everyone gets excited about the E1 and GA WW cover and speculate about GA WW coming down, only to find it's been replaced by *shock* E1 and E2 Superman (like we didn't know that was gonig to happen... given it's been in so many books already :P)

Plus we know what his costume looks like and that he's apparently teaming up with Booster Gold and Batman.

Newsarama, IIRC, bumped it up a week instead of pushing it back a week. The link is somewhere on this forum.

Which is still the latest word....Though I did notice that IC #6 and the Secret Files and Specials were pushed back at DC's site as well....Hmmmm, could there be some truth to the rumour at Lying In The Gutters?

Okay. I've read several posts about who prefers which covers. Can they all be placed here in one post so that those of us who don't have the cash can see what it's all about?

Great covers - love the Booster Gold uniform on issue 5 - seems different to his other recent appearances.

How many weeks before IC #5 did we get the Jim Lee cover? Because that will probably be around the same timing we'll get for the IC # 6 cover. Does anyone know approximately?

WizardWorld LA is next weekend.

Not sure what kind of presence DC will have at WizardWorld (spews mostly toward Marvel), though...

Oh Dear God, not again! Can DC just do us a favor and show ALL the (censored) (expletive deleted) (bleep) (dirty word) (language the nuns would thwack me with a ruler for using) covers to ALL the (bleep) (5 second delay) (censored0 (bad word in Spanish) (words that make my mom's face go white when she hears them coming out of my mouth.) issues and quit torturing us!!!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRGGHH!!!!

Well, they do it so as (a) not to spoil anything that might be revealed on the cover, and (b) cheap marketing ploys.

Though at this point, what else is there to spoil?

Unless Lee's #7 cover is Darkseid doing the salsa atop Alex Luthor's decapitated corpse.

(I'd buy 2 of those!)

I don't know. I miss the days of being surprised as to what's on the next cover. Going to the comic book store and seeing a beautifully illustrated cover that I know has a wonderful story inside of it was a great feeling. Now in the age of 6 page and cover previews it's kind of like 'ohh, I knew that was gonnna happen a month ago.'

Let's see it inked first. I'm still going with Perez. Perez from day one. I don't care how good Lee's is.

Nice. I'll be getting the Lee cover yet again.

Does anybody see what he's holding?

It's Wonder Woman's lasso!

And WW's tiara is on the ground.............

HOLY S**T! Wonder Woman's gonna die!

And Supermans chest emblem on a tattered flag in the background and what looks like a batarang on the left.

Could this Superboy be the reason for a powerless Superman in 650 OYL?

D'aww, Superboy Prime needs a hug, he's thrown another hissy fit!

Frankly my comicstore gives me no choice in the matter, and I end up with Perez's cover despite the fact I may like Lee's better.

guys jim lee sucks. I don't know how you see anything "cool" or good in that.

Violently Apathetic

03-19-2006, 08:34 AM

Come on now, art appreciation is subjective, ogre, so there's no need to tell us it sucks, if we like it, we like it. Heck, appreciation of any form of media is subjective, I for one can't understand the appeal of 'The Family Guy' and would rather watch Mission Hill or Duckman and day...

03-19-2006, 08:35 AM

sarcasm bud. all I hear on this board is how much jim lee's art sucks and if we like it we suck at looking at art.

Opps, sorry, missed the sarcasm *puts on her stupid hat and sits in the corner*

it's okay. go look at the lee vs perez threads and see what happens when you try to say you like lee more.

JuggernautRM

03-19-2006, 10:09 AM

Heh. Just might help more next time if you put a *sarcasm* in your post, just incase some of us doesn't realize it.

Actually there is always people saying that for every artist (including Perez for that matter).

As someone who is a huge Perez fan (and just a fan of Lee's work). This cover is a perfect cover for lee (okay maybe not perfecct).

But it addresses many of my complaints over the covers for this series.

1. His art is fairly posed. But here it works. And without having other characters their isn't the possability of inaccurate position in regrads to other characters (see issue 1 and 4).

2. Superboy Prime body is porportioned correctly (perhaps a little to muscular, but thats about it) the chest isn't out futher (or head back to far), see Superman in issue 3.

3. The character looks like he has appeared, no innacurate tiara (here corect previous issue wrong), Shield symbol. Character looks the age he is supposed to be.

4. He even uses debris and rubble well to concel feet (something many, many artist don't draw well)

And it showcases the apparent defeat of the DC big three with Supes cape flowing in the wind, WW lasso in his hand's and her tiara on the ground, and Bats boomerand fallen.

It short its a very solid cover that is done well and conveys a strong image.
