Randy:
Don and I are both headed out of town to spend some time with relatives for Christmas, so there will be no reviews (First Look or otherwise) next week. We will return in January with our regular reviews as well as our annual "Best Of" feature.
In the meantime, I've decided to repeat a "Best Of" feature I did last year as a holiday gift to our many readers and fans. Since we already had the images of anything we had reviewed in the system, I went through month-by-month and pulled out my favorite covers for each month, tagged them with the names of the artists who created them, and put them in this quick column collection.
This is by no means an exhaustive or remotely complete look at the covers in 2004, or even the best covers of 2004. It's simply a look at some of my favorite covers out of the books that Don and I reviewed this year. Thank you to all our readers and advertisers for keeping us going in 2004... we very much appreciate your support, and look forward to serving you throughout 2005 as well. Enjoy!
