Aww, man... PETER DAVID, one of the greatest Comic Book writers, has passed away at the age of 68!
His lasting impact on Comic Books is insane, giving us classic moments and characters such as:
-The EPIC run of INCREDIBLE HULK, which was amazing entertaining and funny! It was full of action, comedy, and provided a spotlight for RICK JONES.
-The classic Wolverine vs Hulk fight in Incredible Hulk #340, drawn by Todd McFarlane
-THE MAESTRO, the evil future Hulk first seen in 'Hulk: Future Imperfect'
-An epic run of AQUAMAN, where he lost hist hand and replaced it with a hook, grew out a beard and long hair. I picked up the omnibus this past Christmas!
-Another long run with SUPERGIRL, which transformed the character in ways I didn't anticipate.
-SPIDER-MAN 2099!!
-CAPTAIN MARVEL (Gen ). This was a fun run, with David taking the Marvel Lynch Pin RICK JONES into really fun cosmic adventures.
-The super fun YOUNG JUSTICE run, which teamed up Superboy, Robin and Impulse.
-The government-run incarnation of X-FACTOR, which re-introduced us to MADROX The Multipie man and STRONG GUY.
-MADROX needs to be mentioned again. David took a then-C-list character and gave him personality and awesme run of X-FACTOR, where he and team act as Private Eyes. It' has classic Peter David humor and entertainment.
