This is a sad loss for comics. He was a hell of an artist and one of the reasons I got back into comics. My sincere condolences to his family. I’ll miss you, Mike.

As Kevin said, simply devastating news; this is a dark day for comics.

It’s a terrible loss of a good man and an incredibly talented artist. I hope that his family and friends find themselves surrounded by peace and light even as undeniable grief and loss fill their beings.

I can’t remember the last time I read news on the Net I so badly wanted to be a hoax. This is incredibly saddening. Wieringo was one of those guys who, no matter how much I enjoyed his work, I always thought his best was yet to come because it always seemed to be progressing. And the few posts of his I read online made him seem like an incredibly sweet and kind person.

Terrible, terrible news.

This is an absolute shock. Whenever there is a loss it hurts, but this one has truly blown me away. As a fan, he was the best guy ever in terms of interaction, always generous with his time and I loved his p.o.v. on many topics as they often echoed my own. His work, his passion for what he did, all seemed to be reaching new heights, and his blog was great. It showed his desire to share and really be involved creatively with his fans. He was always one of my first stops at Heroes Con, and I loved talking with him. He most recently took the time to tell me where to get cat food locally (during the pet food scare). I am absolutely stunned by this.

As good as he was– and he was very good– he was only getting better. To not get to know where his talent would take his art is a terrible loss.

Sad. And that’s all i am going to say.

Very sad news.
