MT, one of the premiere artists of our time passed
away on the 27th.  he died aof a cancer dealing
with bones/cartilage that he's been fighting for a
long time.  his variant cover for civil war #7
recently got 2nd place in marvel's cover of the year
contest.  the whole thing is shocking for me because
he was only 37 and he was still doing great work.
very little has his death been publicized though, I
only found out on marvel.com.

his work:

I loved his work, he did a great job of capturing the spirit of comics in his art.  May he rest in peace.

That's sad. I didn't know he was sick. I loved to see his work on Superman and Batman. He was a great artist.
