Very sad. His work appeared just as I stopped buying comics regularly, but I absolutely loved his style.

52 is no age at all.

Loved his work. His art was a big reason for me being such
a fan of PLANETARY.

He certainly co-created my favorite post-JB X-Men moment.

Sad news. Good artist and I loved this Batman page from the Batman and Planetary book.

So young!

His covers were so original and his "widescreen" page layouts were something else.


RIP

One of the great missed opportunities in comics, I believe, is when it was announced that Cassaday would be drawing Superman. Only for it to be the "Grounded"-storyline by Straczynski where Superman walks (!) across America. A waste of a great artist.
