Unlike some others I prefer not to list a mini/maxi series in with my top books of the year. Not because some of these didn't deserve listing. I just didn't want to give up the spot of a good series (Supreme Power) to list a mini (Adam Strange).

Here are mine in no particular order:

Adam Strange - a great sci-fi comic, something missing in today's market.

Ocean - see above.

Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes - at least the Avengers I loved are still out there.

Secret War - not sure when (or if) this one will end but interesting so far.

Avengers/Thunderbolts - not quite a Thunderbolts fan but with Barry's art I could be.

Empire - this may be more a 2003 title but the last issue was released in January 04 (IIRC) and I loved this book.

Identity Crisis - as a whole I liked the series. Not too keen on some aspects and am unsure it lived up to the hype.

Formerly Known as the Justice League - another that just squeaked into 2004. Great fun, best Giffen since Vext.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 2 - I wish this could be an ongoing series of minis. And that I could forget the movie adaption. shudder

30 Days of Night: Return to Barrow - I'm a sucker for a good vampire comic and Niles is the best in the business today for these.

New Frontier tops my list by far. I can't rave about it enough.

Adam Strange is also excellent.

I liked Identity Crisis too, but am not sure I liked it enough to qualify it as a top series.

New Frontier was genius, and it would top my list as well.

Identity Crisis' ending was poor enough that it's been somewhat lowered in my estimation.

Seaguy was not bad, but it was part of a longer story we likely won't see, so that works against it.

I'm enjoying quite a few minis right now - Adam Strange, GL:Rebirth, Avengers:Earth's Mightiest Heroes, We 3, Ocean - but none of them are done, so I can't rightly put them on a "Best Of" list yet.

I included minis and maxis in the regular BEST/WORST lists.

Didn't consider FORMERLY KNOWN AS JLA a 2004 book, it certainly falls high within any of my top 10 favorites.
