Legends

Well, it's Lopez here with some somber news. Many of you know that I'm a big fan of comic books. Well, about ten years ago or so there was a writer/artist team on Spider-Man that I loved. It was writer Todd Dezago and artist Mike Wieringo (Ringo for short). Ever since then I bought everything they've worked on because they're both so talented. I had the honor or meeting Todd a few years ago and we've kept in touch and he's told me wonderful things about Mike. Sadly, Mike died last week at 44. It came out of nowhere and it's a shame that such a talented artist isn't with us anymore.

I know most, if not all, of you don't really know who he is, but you should check him out. He and Todd did a comic called Tellos that you should buy and read to your children. It's an all-ages fantasy story that is perfect for the family.

You can get a collection of the Tellos comics soon. I'll let you know. Before that, you can check out some websites to see how cool he was.

I could go on a while about his awesome art, but hopefully you'll check it out.

Enjoy
