Needs Help: Comic Book.House And Powers Of X

For context: this is the comic series that started the big 2019 relaunch and reboot of Marvel's X-Men, beginning a huge (and hugely successful) arc that's still running across 9+ different X-comics today.

Although the current image is a lovely piece of art, it's in landscape format and very cluttered/blurry in this context. It feels like a little bit of a spoiler, too, although that may be very subjective - this is a story that ends with almost all of the X-Men's mutant enemies becoming their new allies, and showing them grouped as a peaceful crowd scene hints at that.

It's also slightly complicated by the fact that the page covers two interlinked works, one of which (Powers of X) is largely a tour of Bad Futures with new characters who don't exist in the 'main' Marvel setting and aren't so recognisable to readers and tropers.

With all of that in mind, the options seem to be:

1.1 - keep the existing image (possibly try to get a better quality version?). One thing to call out is that this puts two key characters - Moira and Professor X - on the central seating.

1.2 - the cover of the collected edition, containing both series (even if the logo doesn't make that clear). This is the only other image I could find where Moira was prominent alongside other main characters.
1.3 - the cover of issue #1 of House of X. No spoiler characters, not too cluttered, and it has Professor X in the distinctive new helmet these stories introduced.
1.4 - the cover of issue #4 of Powers of X. Again, this has Professor X and that helmet as the focus. Lots of characters in the background, but not as cluttered as the current image?
I think all three are better than the current version, not least because the portrait format allows more space.

[EDIT: as per follow-up post, I think 2 is better than any of these, though]

Both series are 6 issues long, so there are other covers available as well (although I think these are the strongest), plus some poster and promotional art.

Thoughts?

I don't mind the current too much, but 1.4 is also not bad. Here's◊ a logoless version to avoid tying it to one title too much.

2.1

The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.

2

2 over any of the first post's options with logos. Thanks for unearthing it!

So far, looks like we just have a consensus on 2 - which makes things simpler?

Votes bump, one in the green.
