Crushed to read of the passing of the great John Cassaday, gone far too soon, far too young. Didn’t know him well, but I loved what I knew. Via con Dios, amigo.

My heart is broken at the passing of my buddy John. I will miss our late nights in the village talking all kinds of crazy shit. Amanda and I will miss that beautiful heart and smile. Love you man. pic.twitter.com/4hD3jUVfqR

We’re devastated by the loss of our dear friend, artist & comic book legend John Cassaday. His art was a master class in emotion, action, and storytelling, and he captured the essence of every character he drew. John was one of the best. He will always be part of our Marvel… pic.twitter.com/i0vf9qfyux
