Difficult as always, but here are my choices for the BEST OF 2013(in no particular order):

 

Covers:

 

ANIMAL MAN 12 (Collection of Dan Jerome) - I love any cover or splash with a hoard theme (seems appropriate)

 

Y THE LAST MAN 57 (Collection of Greg Kessler) - One of the best cover of the run

 

MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS 94 (Collection of Joe Shaffer) - Huge flaming skull from Kieth

 

 

 

Splash Pages & Pin ups:

 

WEAPON X Chapter 8 Splash (Collection of Mike D) - BWS Weapon X, simply classic

 

Uncanny X-Men 114 Page 31 (Collection of Raymond Bryan) - Just like it

 

Ward / Everett PUSSYCAT splash (Collection of Mark Levy) - Pussycat splash? YES!

 

 

Interior Panel Pages:

 

SANDMAN 23 Pg 15 (Collection of Jonathan H.) - That 4th panel just drags you in to the page

 

LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT 86 Page 2 (Collection of Hart Rieckhof) - JHW III !!!

 

FABLES 26 Pages 22 & 23 (Collection of Paul N.) - Only 7 views on this when I made this post, tragic. Has FABLES fallen out of favor so much?

 

 

 

Strip Art:

 

CALVIN AND HOBBES (Collection of Scott Williams)

 

AXA Daily 585 (Collection of Sean L.) - Axa gets my vote every time.

 

FLASH GORDON 1943 (Collection of Ray Cuthbert)

 

 

Convention Sketches:

 

SETH FISHER Strange Awesome Monster (Collection of Jason G.) - The unmatchable Seth.

 

DEJAH THORIS - Stanley "Artgerm" Lau (Collection of Carlos Simoes) - Artgerm is perfection

 

Lee Bermejo - The Joker (Collection of Michael Diaz) - Bermejo redefined the Joker's look.

 

 

 

Unpublished Other:

 

DELPHINE (Collection of Steven Davich's brother-in-law) - He gave this away, but he still got my vote.

 

UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD Commission (Collection of Jehan W.) - One of the top 3 covers of the series redone by the master himself :cloud9:

 

MS MARVEL (Collection of Carlos Simoes) - The only collector that got two votes from me. Aype has done some amazing commissions last year and many of them landed in Carlos' collection.
