3 years ago today Mike Wieringo passed away suddenly from a heart attack. He was 44. Mike was probably most well-known for his character-defining run on The Flash in the 90’s with Mark Waid, who would become a long-time collaborator and friend. His Deviantart gallery and website are still intact and left as it was before he passed. If you have a few moments today, spend some time looking around. The guy unquestionably helped influence a new generation of illustrators.

A lot of people already know we’re big fans of Evan Shaner, and I’m a big fan of Captain Marvel/Black Adam/Shazam! But I’m not so sure this guy needs any help with being more angry. I’m thinking Dex-Starr had to be made of pure rage in order to get a red power ring over Black Adam.

(illustration by Evan Shaner) I got in on Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam! a little late in the game, but I’ve really enjoyed the art, and who doesn’t like a Captain Marvel story? It looks like the series will finish up at 21 issues in October with trades (hopefully) soon to follow. Crapsicles. I still need to grab the first one. Anyway, the stories have all been pretty light-hearted as far as Shazam-related things (no people being torn in half by Black Adam, etc) which is probably a good thing as this particular series is aimed at the younger “Johnny DC” crowd.
