Reaction from comic industry and comic-related folk to the news of the death of Carrie Fisher has been swift and sudden, today. Here are some examples of the outpouring of grief. I expect there to be a hundrdfold examples today.

If there ever was a princess for a little gay boy to aspire to be, Carrie Fisher epitomized it. Continuously. 🙌🏽

A princess in the movies, in real life a queen.

You made millions of girls think we could do anything.

Thank you, Carrie Fisher.

Are you shitting me? Carrie Fisher? Carrie Fisher. Princess Leia. How. How is this a thing.

My life goal as a kid was to have buns like Leia. I had a definitely flammable Star Wars bedspread cause of her. RIP @carrieffisher 😰 pic.twitter.com/gUOxbsFomH

Carrie was hilarious, brilliant, courageous and beautiful. In her final year she was more vital and beloved than ever. I hope she felt it.

Gutted about Carrie Fisher. Like many young girls, Princess Leia was my anchor to the Star Wars world.

This year was the first year I ever dressed up as a princess. I'm glad it was her. pic.twitter.com/qfXzOJtxWJ

I have too much to do to deal with the grief that just hit me. Carrie Fisher was so much, she was so… dammit. I gotta just focus on work.

— Menachem Luchins (@EscapePodComics) December 27, 2016

Carrie Fisher was a great woman for all that she did raising awareness of mental health regardless of anything else she did. She mattered.

— Bevis Musson (@bevismusson) December 27, 2016

fuck no. this fucking year.

— Veronica Cristina (@veronicacris) December 27, 2016

All of these women tweeting about the inspiration Carrie Fisher was. I'm going to spend the rest of the day crying.

— Sarah Cotten (@sarahcottentail) December 27, 2016

Thank you Carrie Fisher for being a great example, of a princess who saves herself on the screen, and of recovery in real life. 💗

I'm deeply saddened to learn of the death of Carrie Fisher. I will miss our banterings. A wonderful talent & light has been extinguished.

I'm not gonna lie, if an actual meteor struck in the next 4 days, it might actually be an improvement

Fuck you, 2016.

She wasn't just our princess, she was possibly the greatest script doctor to ever live. We lost one of the great writers today.

— C. Robert Cargill (@Massawyrm) December 27, 2016

Princess Leia was 1st female trading card I had ever seen. Taped that card to my bedroom wall in 1977. Thank u, @carrieffisher=inspiration.

— Jennifer Schwalbach (@JenSchwalbach) December 27, 2016

I just realized how destroyed I'm going to be when I see Carrie Fisher in Episode VIII next year

It's official: the four letter word starting with F is the word I said more times this year, more than any other years…

Nope nope nope nope.

— Katie Cook (@katiecandraw) December 27, 2016

But never forget that she was important as a writer, too. Novels, non-fic, scripts, script doctoring. It's crushing to lose her voice.

These were good changes- takes away characters 'feeding lines' to each other and makes it more natural. https://t.co/i6fJchsRmF

I have just one #CarrieFisher story to share, https://t.co/C1CEKNMRKj, but she and her work on screen and in print will be sorely missed.

I will miss her honesty, her bravery, her wit, her refusal to take anyone's shit. The world is a lesser place.

— Swapna Krishna (@skrishna) December 27, 2016

This is the worst one, for me, by far. I am deeply and profoundly saddened. Just hugged my kids. We're all upset.

Oh man. I'm pretty heartbroken. #CarrieFisher

Before Carrie Fisher, "Princess" was a condescension. She made it stand for strength, class, brains, wit & fire. RIP everyone's 1st crush.

— Jason Latour (@jasonlatour) December 27, 2016

Numb. Unbelievable that such a bright funny loving spark could be extinguished. @carrieffisher you will be missed. I wish you peace.
