Ride the Lightning, Mike.

The comic book industry became a much sadder place and the racks that much less colorful on Sunday. Mike Wieringo passed away from a heart attack. He was only 44. I didn't know Mike, but I enjoyed his work. I had really been enjoying his blog lately. He did sketches to keep himself fresh, but it was the fans that were rewarded. Whether it was a sketch of our favorite character or a character Mike had created on the fly, Mike's love of what he did shone through. He will be sorely missed.
