Rest in peace, sir.
One of the most amazing comic artists.

Knew this was coming but that does not make it sting any less. RIP George.

He at least got to see and hear the love and support from the community that appreciates him so much. It hurts to lose him but his legacy is well beyond cemented.
You were one of the nicest people I ever met, George. Rest In Peace.

The announcement came while I was in theaters watching Doctor Strange. Feels apropos that, even if Perez didn’t work on Strange, that I should be enjoying a movie that celebrates a medium he was so directly responsible for.
Sympathies go out to his family, friends and co-workers. So grateful such an immense legacy is left behind for us to enjoy and celebrate not just today, but for all time.

His versions of Wonder Woman, the Titans, and the Avengers will always be the definitive versions for me. It really hurts to lose him so soon after losing another legend in Neal Adams, too.

What's weird about this was sometime recently I had gotten a copy of the first issue of Crimson Plague, a comic book he did (he also wrote it) and then found out that only a few years after, the first issue was reissued and a second one had come out. Then the rest of the series was dead as no issues had come out.
RIP George Perez.

They announced his death on free comic book day. That seems like the most apropos thing every. Still sucks, still hurts, but it was a nice little bit of timing if we’re trying to find a silver lining
