Maybe because it was the reconning of Supergirl back in DCU...but I got confused about this title a lot at first. But now I know this was in continutity, I read it again and it was a pretty good Loeb story. I never knew Michael Turner, heck I cant think of anything right now that he did. But this art is soild and it's sad to see a good man leave us so early.

I have never been a fan of Michael Turner, but there is no denying he was popular with his fans. Every year he was at Wizard World Philly he had the longest line day in and day out. The line was longer than the Guest of Honor's line on several occasions. Crazy.

I didn't watch your review, Alex (will later) but I wanted to take a moment to tell a memory of Michael Turner from this (my) aspiring comic artist's past.

It was on the Saturday of Wizard World Chicago 2004. I was only there for one day and went around to all of the editors, writers, and artists for help and advice on my craft and breaking into the BIG TWO publishers. I had been in the Marc Silvestri line for a length of time (I was closer in line than 90% of the fans behind me) and didn't get to Mike until the end of the day. I figured I wouldn't get a chance to get him to look at my portfolio and settled on getting him to sign some comics for me (Superman/Batman #8 and Soulfire #0 among others). As he signed my books and talked to me, I mentioned hoping to get him to look at my artwork. Even though it was very close to closing up that day, he told me to bust out my work and looked at it anyway. He gave me some great, sound advice on improving and making it in the BIG TWO and treated me like we had been longtime friends and family.
That, to me, is the truest mark of a wonderful person and creator...The willingness to do something like that even when you don't have to. He REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TO and I told him as much. He has always been an influence to me and an inspiration as well. His bouts with cancer didn't keep him away from connecting with the fans and he fought the disease off until the end. He and his example (as I told him in '04) only made me strengthened in my resolve to accomplish my goals and aspirations. I promise you, Michael, if and when I make it, I'll make a concerted effort to carry your examples that you set into both my work and my life from this day forth.
To his family, friends, colleagues, and fans I extend my prayers and condolences.

Go with God and be blessed eternally forever and ever, Michael.

P.S. Say "Hey!" to Jack Kirby for me!!!

Thanks, Alex and Pulp Secret, for allowing me to have my say.

Take care!
