In remembrance of Mike Wieringo, Millarworld will shut down for one hour tomorrow. Mark Millar explains:
Like everyone here, I was shocked to return from Chicago and find out about Mike’s death. We only met a couple of times, but emailed more often and had worked together in the past. For five minutes, he was the artist on Chosen, though his re-upping with Marvel nixed this and we vowed to do something together again at some point in the future. When a guy is 44 you just assume they’re going to be there for another thirty or forty years. Something like this just comes out of nowhere and is very upsetting for all his friends, his family and his fans.
Please keep them in your prayers this week and join us with a one hour shutdown on Friday the 17th of August at noon Eastern Standard Time. God bless, Mike, and thank you for giving us all such pleasure over the years. From The Flash to the Fantastic Four, you will always be there in our hearts.

Kudos to Millar for a very nice way to pay tribute to Mike. I’m astounded at the number of creators that ALMOST collaborated with Wieringo. For all the great work that he DID, it’s saddening to consider what his passing means in terms of projects never realized.
