damn

Wow, this is a shock. My condolences to his friends and family. Michael was a real talent.

Think it's the first time I've liked and known enough about a writer or artist to care that they've died. That's sucky news.

This is such a shock to me... He's one of my favourite artists in comics, I loved all his work... he will be missed.

Man, this is awful.  I liked his art.  And his determination, he kept up as much as humanly possible even while fighting cancer, the guy is a legend.

WHAT THE (*#@$&@#)($#*@$

omfg this sucks... and a complete surprised. He was getting better and everything and I thought his cancer rescinded. I really don't know what to say..

seriously... i don't know what to say here...

just damn... this is one of the very few artists who worked on stuff that i actually cared about....

a really sad day for everyone

M

Michael, I pine for you.   D':>  Your art will be missed.   Why so many great people die young?   Doesn't seem fair to me.   I hate the fact that so many b@$t@rd$ outlive good people.   I hate it.

The good ones always seem to die young

it is a sad day indeed...

The world is so full of injustice.   So very full of it. 

Comics will never be the same without him and his incredible art work...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

This sucks...Why couldn't they have taken Rob Liefeld or Steve Dillon?

Rest in peace Michael...

Damnit,Cosmic Sentinel...you had to post the art didn't? lol.

His JLA work was so awesome!

It's not a proper tribute without the art. His JLA work was some of his best, that one seemed particularly appropriate.

wow that's just terrible...he was one of my favorite artists!

And you know the vultures are going to be out.  All his stuff's prices are going to skyrocket.  I don't know what his last official work was but you can bet that his variant cover for Uncanny X-Men #500 will be impossible to find for anywhere near cover price.  I have to say the idea disgusts me.  I get it'd be about supply and demand but people shouldn't try to profit off of a tragedy.

what does this mean?"

That just is beyond bad news. I'm just absolutely guttered. He was the only one I liked that drew Wonder Woman perfectly for me.

He will be hugely missed.

R.I.P

This is terrible. One of the few artists I really cared about, and the man's taken away like this. Why is it that the good ones who relly light up people's lives are the ones that are so cruelly taken awy well before their time? Seriously, there's no justice in this world. My heart goes out to his bereaved family and friends at this point.

I loved the way he drew Superman and Wonder Woman. In his loving hands, they really were perfection.

A shame that now vultures will be looking to profit from the great man's memory, since the price of all Turner merchandise is gonna go through the roof.. Let a legend's memory remain and let him rest in piece with dignity for crying out loud.

Great artist, loved his work over the years and he died way too young.  My heart goes out to his family.

This does just suck

This is so sad.
He was the one who brought my favorite heroine to life...Witchblade. He has brought in a new dimension to the comic industry by focusing on detail drawing and making everyone he draws look beautiful and handsome.

I will miss his style and technique. But one thing for sure, his legacy of inspiring me in my art works will forever live on.

this really sucks,i loved Michael's work.

Man that really is sad.

I love his work on Fathom so very much.It feel like man its over kind of.But he left behind a legacy and i hope his company will grow and become much more successful than it already is now.What a bumber.I will pray for his family.

wow i cant get over it.

Aww man such a talented artist. He brought comics to brought comics to life for me. He and many other artists inspire me to pursue a career in that field. R.I.P.

sad

I read this news earlier today and have been in shock ever since. Michael Turner is the reason I started reading and collecting comics again after a 10 year break. I don't know what else to say.  He will be missed greatly. My condolences to his family and friends.

R.I.P. Michael

this sucks major It always has to be my faves to die =[

"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I'm not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints of snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn's rain
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die

The comic book world has suffered a great lost, goodbye and thank you Mister Turner"

Turner was a great artist and he will be missed. I am sad as hell seeing all these artists and writers die this past year.

he was like my favorite artist. Im really ticked of

TO THE MAN THAT GOT ME INTO COMICS:

I just want to say thanks. I have heard nothing but the greatest of you, Michael and would have loved to have shaken your hand. You will forever always inspire us all...

His work was incredible and you could just tell he loved what he did. I wish his family peace in this time, and the strength to find comfort and joy in who he will always be, amidst this season of mourning.

To everyone who worked with Michael: KEEP THE APSEN LEGACY ALIVE AND PLEASE CONTINUE HIS WORK!!!

Mike, thanks again to all you've done...
Your work will eternally inspire...

First it was Mike Wieringo... now it's Michael Turner. Life is so unfair...

He was an inspiring person not only in his artwork but also his battle with cancer.  He gave a great run and I will truly miss him. 

My heart also goes out to Jeph Loeb who has had to endure many casualties in his career.

One of the best comic book artists to date. It's sad that he died at such a young age....

*Cries*

This is truly sad...

He will be missed.
