    oh my god.

    I don't know what to say.

    Every year I meet him at Wizard World. Coolest guy ever. I thought I'd be doing that for at least the next decade or two. One of my heroes. One of the best.

    rest in peace, Michael.

    I didn't care much for his art, but it really sucks that he lost the fight.

    Why do the most talented always have the smallest flame? :( 

    He made the world more beautiful with his art. He will be sorely missed.

    Just heard this a few minutes ago actually. Real shocker. What an absolutely great guy he was, one of the best for sure.

    Damn. I was a big fan of his back when I collected a lot of comics and I made a habit of buying anything that he did the cover for. He always seemed like such a great guy although I never met him personally. I knew about his cancer and how it could affect his ability to draw and walk because of his hip, but I didn't know it had gotten this bad again.

    He'll be missed.

    I'm a big fan of his art (I loved the early Witchblade issues) and can't believe he's now gone.... :(

    When I read the title my reaction was "no way! It can't be the artist from Fathom and Witchblade, surely not him"

    Man, the best always burn the brightest and the briefest. I can't believe it.

    Wow. I remember reading an article in Wizard a year or two ago about him saying that he was on the mend. He'll be missed. T_T
