MICHAEL TURNER DIED!???? D:
Poor Michael :( He died so young ;-;
I feel awful for his family and friends and loved ones :(
:(
I actually got into superhero comics b/c of him and his art in the Superman/Batman arc where they re-introduced Supergirl and he made Kara seem rly happy and positive and it was inspiring to me :) I'm a fan of his art style, even if I might have issues with some of his work, and I always hoped to meet him someday (something I wrote on myspace which made ppl go o_O) :] I regret I never got the chance :(
This has been my desktop wallpaper for... going on 2 years I think :]
I guess.. I was rly shocked to hear that he had died.. he does have a special place with me for comic artists b/c it was his Supergirl (and how strong and happy and positive she looked) that got me into comics which got me into City of Heroes and playing Starlight Angel (the Supergirl of teh Ami-verse! :D) which led me to come out to myself and be who I rly am :) So yus. *nods* Sometimes I wonder how he'd draw teh Ami-verse XD
Neways.. in tribute here is a picture of his Wonder Woman and Supergirl as posters that sit above my bed and protect me at night :) They both look so awesome there :D
:]

This is truly shocking and tragic news. 37 is too young, way too young.
You know I feel almost the exact opposite about Turner's art than you do, including his Supergirl. And those feelings were one reason I started my old blog. But at some point it just started to seem unneccessarily cruel and inappropriate to take potshots at him.
But for all that, I always had affection for the man himself. He seemed to be one of those upbeat, genuinely enthusiastic people and he obviously loved what he was doing. I think that's something people responded to in his work.
My heart goes out to his loved ones, his family and his friends. I know he'll be missed. Even I will miss him. I was kinda hoping he'd recover and go on to create years and years worth of art even if I wouldn't like most of it.
Given his stature as a fan fave, this is going to have a huge impact this year.
