RIP Mike Wieringo

great artist. its a damn shame.

This sucks, he’s one of my favorite artists.

His run on FF with Waid was of the toppest of tier.

:sad:

RIP Ringo, the man did damn fine work. I only wish he could have done more.

Yeah, but from his last blog entry, maybe the heat played a factor. Heat does add a great deal of stress to the body besides making you sweat. Although it is one of those fucked up, out of no where deaths whatever the reason.

First Impulse, and now his Creator?

FUCK!

I’m so pissed right now. This sucks sucks sucks.

he was a great artist, I loved his work.

FUCK!

Good luck, where ever you may be now Ringo.

dude you should start a petition to bring back impulse in memory of mike. I would totally sign it.

I would sign it too…that was a bitch way for Bart to go out.

Well, I have already written Didio about Bart. But I don’t think he cares.

Didio isn’t editor in chief of DC anymore. Alex Ross is, that’s obvious by the JSA’s newest recruit, and the fact that any character created after 1985 is being killed, shuffled to an alternate earth, or replaced by their forebear.

its really effecting me that he died. I really meant what i said this is the guy who made me wanna draw comics…since i was 9 or 10. I’ve been thinking about this constantly…like i literally have thought about changing my whole art style to emulate him in his memory…though i’d constantly be in his shadow. I’m going to write something up later in the week for the petition and have you guys proofread it.

i’m really sad. :frowning:

Oh damn, that’s horrible news.

Yeah, I’ve seen his name and his art around for awhile and always thought he was cool, but I never actually got the chance to check his older stuff out like Tellos and stuff. Just his run with Waid on Fantastic Four, which I enjoyed immensely.

Always terrible to hear about news like this. And damn…44 years old and vegetarian…tomorrow really isn’t guaranteed to anyone. Damn, that is depressing as hell.

It’s gotten to me too.

I really wish I had gotten to meet him.

thats truly my biggest regret is not meeting him. cause i’ve been going over the artists i’ve been a fan of…and he is truly the one who affected me the most.

I found one of his FF pics and it had me ROLLING.

it’s Johnny in a pool, surrounded by children, and he’s yelling “I HAVE NO PANTS!”

golden.

Kinda funny cause Ross is also gonna be doing Avengers/Invaders for Marvel Comics.

Hey, I call it like I see it.

and the more work Ross does for Marvel, the Better.

just keep him away from my camp, please.

that said, this is Wieringo’s thread, and I never should’ve brought it up in here. Sorry for derailing the topic.

RIP Mike :sad:

WHoah he died?

RIP

aww man… I’ve been a fan of Ringo ever since he did his run on Sensational Spider-Man back in the late 90’s. I’m gonna miss that guy.
