R.I.P. Dwayne McDuffie

It's news that I hope that isn't true, that seems like it can't be true, but apparently is true. Comic Book Resources has reported that comic creator and animation legend Dwayne McDuffie has died from complications from surgery.

I'm in shock. McDuffie was one of my favorite writers. I loved Damage Control and he helped one of my favorite adaptations of a comic book property, the excellent Justice League Unlimited, come to life on TV.

He's a vital part of comic book and animation history. He will be missed.

Condolences to his fans, friends and family.
