It’s always sad to hear about someone in comics dying, but there are times when it just comes out of nowhere. Yesterday’s news about Dwayne McDuffie’s unexpected death was one of those headlines that just made me say, “Wait…what?!?!”
I wish I had time to write more, so I’ll just toss these out:
1. Justice League Unlimited was fantastic.
2. McDuffie wrote the best Flash story of the short post-“Lightning Saga” relaunch: the Flash/Wonder Woman team-up in Justice League #20.
I feel similarly about his passing, but I am not familiar with that Justice League story. I look forward to looking it up.
It was a good story. I salute the man’s achievements, even though I didn’t always like every story.
Impulse #60 and the Sins of Youth: Kid Flash/Impulse special were also great reads. He was a very talented guy.
