Rest in Peace Mike

I have not posted in a long time, and it is with great sadness that a post like this is what begs me to log in and do so.

Michael Turner passed away this morning, finally succumbing to his long-fought bout with cancer. He was a polarizing figure, but so are many of the greats in comics who end up making some money at it: Todd McFarlane, Jim Lee, Alex Ross, etc. He did what he loved, he loved what he did, and he was successful. More power to him. With all respect I hope that a few of his peers (of which there not many) will produce a few variant head stones. It would be fitting : )

We’ll miss you Mike. If you’re not in heaven, you’re under the waves somewhere…

  3. It’s a shame. I really liked the way he drew Wonder Woman.
