Description

A bone-chilling cover deserves a goose-bumping, eye-popping homage . Jann just knocked this out of the ball-park. Russ provides the trimmings but Mr Galino's interpretation is a feast for the eyes.You can see from the prelim's how much work & effort went into this

Enjoy

Thank you. It just goes to prove my theory. ANY cover can be a GREAT Legion cover

The simplicity of the Kaluta cover is rather delicate and would have fallen apart with all the superhero tropes added to it, so your editorial decision to go with a completely different angle and intensity was spot on. Of course, Galino and Payne still had to tread the line between horror and superheroics and I think they pulled it off quite nicely.

You nailed our thinking process. The orange background on the original cover also helped give it contrast. You can see from the 3 Prelim's that Jann Galino drew, just how the angle of the "stinger" made all the difference. Also,speaking of angles, although word balloonshave fallen out of favor, I think Russ' work helped add to the dramatic tension with a believeable angle for conflict between the two.

I think this is one of the most brutal looking pieces on CAF.  Is that a good thing??  I'm not sure but it speaks to how well this was executed.

My favorite cover yet from this series. I can easily see this as a 70's era Legion story. Can't wait to see what's next!

Wow!! What a baller piece. Its so out of character to see lovely Lana look so evil. I almost feel bad for Pete...almost.

Oh man ... that is superb.  A cover I would never have envisaged working with the Legion characters --- and yet it fits brilliantly.  Top job!

In my opinion, one of the things that makes the original cover work is the seemingly imposible arched back of the man , as the spider inches closer. We shifted angles but by adding to the length of the scoprion stinger we got that same arch effect.
