Notes
- Mike kept a blog until the weekend he passed away, it is still up for posterity and as a memorial to Mike.[1] He was also well known for being an extremely nice guy, and loved to share things with his fans. Unfortunately, due to his untimely death, he was unable to work on many of the ideas he had for when his exclusivity contract with Marvel was to end. Ideas like "Prince of Saturn". Mike also had a cat named Charlie, who he considered his best friend. He was a vegetarian, and while it was partly for health reasos, he just loved animals too much to eat them.
