I am unbelievably saddened by the news today that Dwayne McDuffie has died. It doesn’t feel real, and it certainly doesn’t feel right. He meant a lot to me coming up on the ISB and then writing my own comics, and I’ve written a few thoughts about his passing.
WHAT. Goddamn, I can’t believe this. He was an awesome comics creator and writer for animation. Damn it.
Very sad. I remember Milestone fondly. Rest in peace.
Thanks for writing that, Chris. Still shocked.
Dwayne McDuffie wrote fun comics. Particularly during a period when very few were being written.
I enjoyed his overall work. I never met him, but I often read about how nice he was. Sad day, indeed. May he rest in peace.
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your memorial for Dwayne McDuffie. I don’t read comics much anymore, though I still seem to enjoy reading about them, especially when you’re the one doing the writing.
Your thoughts about McDuffie reminded me of how much I enjoyed your not-so-recent post on race in comics. It was really thoughtful, and, I’m an academic who does a lot of reading and writing on this topic, so I guess I should know.
Anyway, this just seemed like an appropriate time to pass along my appreciation to you for your work.
