The comic book industry has lost a true talent and one of the best examples of what a professional artist really is. Mike Wieringo has passed away and the shocking suddenness of it is just heartbreaking, Mike was one of the friendliest fellas i've ever had the privilege to know. He will be missed greatly by his family, friends and fans. The magnitude of his loss is immense. I'll miss you very much 'Ringo.

This is an all day gut punch. I've felt miserable since hearing the news. I talked to Mike a couple times a year and he was always so energetic and full of life. In his short career he contributed more to the field in terms of influence and spirit than most artists twice his age.

My condolences to Mike's family. Hate when great people are taken to soon from us. He was and will always be a inspiration to all of us, not just as a artist but a person as well. RIP Mike. We'll miss you.

This is really such a huge loss. It's really hard to express the feelings in words.

He will be missed.

Losing somebody you like and respect is insufferable enough but knowing that right now there exists all the Mike Weiringo artwork that will ever exist only makes it worse.

My mind and brain are mush. I've been sitting here trying to remember all the great conversations we've had. I wasn't finished being his friend. We just got started. I've known him for close to 10 years and only in the last few have we become closer friends. I was looking forward to talking with him today about Flight of the Conchords.
