oh man, I didn't know about his condition. I thought he had so much years to draw us his amazing covers being such a young guy. this is truly a loss for the comic industry, I almost drooled myself when I saw some of his covers.

RIP indeed. we'll miss ya michael!

This is just awful. I only met him once or twice in a signing line or whatever but I've heard great stories about how generous Mike was with fans.

Condolences to all his family and friends.
