Hey, guys. After this weekend, I will be ordering the Walt Simonson THOR Artist's Edition. There are 2 covers available for this tome. I'm having a hard time deciding on which one to order, so I thought I'd poll you guys and see if you can help me come to a decision. Here are the covers:
I really dig the bottom one, as I'm a big Beta Ray Bill fan and I love the hammer Walt designed for him. But, that top image is so iconic, I'm having a hard time steering away from it.
So, what say you, JBF? Which one do you prefer?

I'd go with the bottom one, as it actually has Thor, 2 characters instead of one, plus snazzy backgrounds.

I prefer the bottom because it features both Thor and Beta Ray Bill.

Were there different covers for first and second printings? Mine is at home and I was curious.

Both are beautiful but the bottom one is slightly better!

The Beta Ray Bill cover is of course an historical milestone when it comes to Walter Simonson's run on THOR... but, you kinda have to go with the one that actually has Thor on the cover, I'd say!
(Although, I'd prefer the blue border with the bottom image instead.)

I like the red better but prefer the iconic Beta Ray Bill cover.
