Dwayne McDuffie has passed away : UPDATE

"No cause of death or exact details have been released, but the creator's death has been confirmed by multiple independent "

"McDuffie worked extensively in the field of animation, as a writer for Static Shock and also Justice League and Ben 10: Alien Force. He contributed the screenplay to 2010's DC Animated feature Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, and his latest project, the direct-to-video animated All-Star Superman film, went on sale today."


Simply put...this sucks. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Here is a statement from Dan DiDio via DC's Blog

“Dwayne McDuffie left a lasting legacy on the world of comics that many writers can only aspire to. He will not only be remembered as the extremely gifted writer whose scripts have been realized as comic books, in television shows and on the silver screen, but as the creator or co-creator of so many of the much-loved Milestone characters, including Static Shock. The industry has lost a true talent.
Our sincerest condolences go out to the family and many friends he leaves behind.”

- Dan DiDio, Co-Publisher, DC Entertainment

This is absolutely terrible news. He had an amazing passion for comic books and the DC Universe comic book adaptations. This is a devastating loss.
