Dwayne

[sigma7]

I was looking forward to watching Dwayne McDuffie's adaptation of Grant Morrison's simply exemplary All-Star Superman for video when it came out today. But now word reaches me that McDuffie died today.

He made his biggest splash primarily in animation, but his comic work would stand on its own impressively in its own right.

I'm just...damn. I don't know.

Well crap. I don't think I've read anything he's written, but I've heard of him. And he is on my list of Good People from what I've heard and I've always meant to get around and read more written by him. Damn.

When the news surfaced on the V and its related fora, the first post was someone asking if it was some joke of Fraction's that they had misunderstood.

Still feels like that, honestly.

Very stand-up type of guy.

I am really upset about this...way, way before his time. :(

That's awful. I mainly knew him from Damage Control (years ago, but damn that was a brilliant series).

I'll guarantee you: his work's worth getting around to.

A month later...

...and I'm still wishing that it were a joke. It doesn't feel at all right, for Dwayne to have gone like that.
