Re: Which Books Have The Best Art?
Dark Conversions, Psyscape and Juicer Uprising all have lots cool art. Any book with Ramon Perez's art is usually pretty good.
I will be 125 living in Rio de Janeiro when the Great Cataclysm comes, I will not survive long but I will be cloned threw the Achilles project and my clones will be Achilles Neo-Humans that will start a new Jedi order in Psyscape. So You May Strike Me Down & I Will Become More Powerful Than You Can Possibly Imagine. Let the Clone Wars begin!

Thirded, Perez is by far the best artist they have ever had.
The word "THAN" is important. Something is "better than" something else, not "better then", it's "rather than" not "rather then".

New West.
I'd love to see Perez do a full-blown New West comic. Mechanations of Doom is close, but not quite there.
Cyberhorses & Six-Guns. Booyah!

Anything by Long or Gustovich.
I liked the Line Walkers from the original books. Most people don't realize the runes on their skirt ribbon actually say things. One says "Walk with me" another says "Lobotomize me".
I looked at later renditions of the line walkers and the artist just made the runes be gibberish.

Re: Which Books Have The Best Art?
I gotta vote RUE with all the colour plates. Most of those are SWEEET
I am very opinionated. Yes I rub people the wrong way but at the end of the day I just enjoy good hard discussion and will gladly walk away agreeing to not agree

Re: Which Books Have The Best Art?
I honestly don't care for most of Ramon Perez's work.
I prefer anything done by Scott Johnson, Freddie Williams, Michael Wilson and Chuck Walton.

In my honest opinion. The best art so far .. has been in the Siege on Tolkeen Books.

Re: Which Books Have The Best Art?
Post and Perez were always my personal picks. On the technique front Post was probably the best black and white artist Palladium ever hired, and he excelled at dark, broody pics and terrible nasty monsters (which made him a natural for Nightbane in particular). Perez was also one of their better artists, and he knew how to make a pic ooze sensuality or excitement or fun if the situation demanded it.
Kevin Long probably remains the best technical artist they ever picked up, and when he was firing on all cylinders his robots and hardware tended to be iconic game-defining stuff for Rifts. He wasn't consistently excellent, but that seems to have been more due to the fact that sometimes he just didn't seem to be making a real effort rather than any lack of talent.

Re: Which Books Have The Best Art?
I always thought New West had some pretty great art. My favorite'd have to be the Gunslinger on page 92. Awesome piece of badassery right there.
RUE had some pretty good artwork too, though.

Anything Charles Walton has current my vote. Rifter 50 cover is instant classic.
