I heard some bad news...
I heard some bad news today that one of my newest, favoritist artists, Seth Fischer, died yesterday. He apparently fell 7 stories from the roof of a club in Osaka, Japan. wtf. While I can't say this is emotionally scarring for me, it is a terribly sad thing. The world lost a really talented artist early in his career.
I really only became aware of him a few months back when the first issue of the 'Fantastic Four/Iron Man Big in Japan' mini-series came out (the last issue of the series just came out Wednesday.) It was awesome. It seemed that Marvel handed over some major characters to an artist (that I had never really heard of) to pretty much run free with crazyness just because his style was so damned hot. it was too. Very unique. He seemed to borrow equally from America, Europe, and Japan. It really stands out on the shelf...Not to ignore some good writing by Zeb Wells and top notch coloring by Chris Chuckry but they all seemed to be contributing to giving Fischer a playground to work.
Later Dan clued me in that DC had already done somethng similiar by giving him Green Lantern in the 'Willworld' book. Its awesome too. I backpeddled through his work and realized he'd also done a Batman story last year (Good but not as conducive to his style) and a Flash story, 'Time Flies'. (more crazyness)
