Editorial Comments

Product Description:
The latest volume of the Modern Masters series looks at the life and work of one of today's top comic-book artists, Mike Wieringo. Wieringo hit the comic book industry running, armed with a fresh, unique style all his own. Merging elements of manga with the power of the Marvel comics of his youth, he quickly became a fan-favorite. His work featuring Robin and Superman, Spider-Man and the X-Men - not to mention the creator-owned world of Tellos - has cemented him as one of the top artists in the business. And his recent run on Fantastic Four ranks among the best in the title's long and prestigious history. Now Todd Dezago and Eric Nolen-Weathington give you an inside look at the artist's life and career! This 120-page volume presents his most comprehensive, career-spanning interview to date, and is jam-packed with tons of rare and unpublished artwork, including an eight-page full color gallery. It's the ultimate look at the work of a true Modern Master: Mike Wieringo!

4 out of 5 starsHe offered the best FF of the 2000s and then he was gone ^
Mike WIERINGO died in 2008 at age 44, from a heart attack. This book was made just two years before that. It is an interview with WIERINGO conducted by Todd DEZAGO, with whom he co-authored TELLOS earlier in the 2000s. A "late-bloomer" by his own account, WIERINGO started relatively late in the comics industry but both TELLOS ("tell us") and his run on the FANTASTIC FOUR with author Mark WAID (arguably the best FF in years) made him a star. WIERINGO had still much to learn, much to do and so much offer when he died. His final words in the interview and the great port-folio at the end of this book gives hints to that. In my opinion, he was to be one of the comics industry few true stars of the 21th century. Only four stars for this book because I think friends interviewing friends don't always allow for real insight into an artist's path. Friends understandably just don't ask you some questions.

5 out of 5 starsWienringo deserves every little bit of credit! ^
This book celebrates the work of the late mike wienringo in a way that makes you feel sorry that his talent was taken from us so soon. Absolutely worth the purchase. A lot of insight into his mind and awesome works!



5 out of 5 starsA career spanning book, with a great gallery of art throughout! ^
This book was my first "Modern Masters" volume, and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. It has a great interview spanning 'Ringo's perspective on his career, told in the chronological order of the books he worked on. It has his great uncolored artwork and sketches of various comic characters throughout, with a few colored pieces at the end of the book. It was sad though, reading about how he was determined to continue his creator-owned book Tellos, as this book was created before his unexpected passing. If you are a fan of Mike's work than you can't pass this up!

I'll be getting other volumes of Modern Masters for sure now. Next up is Bruce Timm!



5 out of 5 starsA 'must' for any collection strong in comic book history and artists. ^
Mike Wieringo's first major job was The Flash, and his exciting introduction to the comic book field was followed quickly by drawings of major characters from Superman and X-Men to Fantastic Four. But don't expect the usual reproductions of comics in this celebration: it includes sketches accompanied by an essential interview with Wieringo discussing perspectives, drawing challenges, achievements and comic book history and provides many important keys to understanding Wieringo's works and his place in the industry. A 'must' for any collection strong in comic book history and artists.

5 out of 5 starsYou like Mike? ^
You should have this book!

What, you need more? This features a comprehensive interview with Mike (nice job again Eric!), a detailed overview of his career, and tons of rare art. Buy it, the link is right there!

Now, if only there was a free sketch in every copy, then it'd be perfect.
