Dwayne McDuffie, RIP.

Extremely talented writer and producer.  Really enjoyed his work.

Remembering Dwayne McDuffie - Comic Book Resources:

"...comic writer, animation producer and respected industry veteran Dwayne McDuffie passed away due to complications following a surgical procedure he underwent Monday evening.

The Detroit native began his career as an editor for Marvel comics in the late '80s, but left the editorial ranks to pursue writing full-time. McDuffie was a longtime advocate for diversity in comics and this led to his co-founding Milestone Media, a character and diversity-driven superhero line of comics, along with Denys Cowan, Michael Davis and Derek T. Dingle. McDuffie's more recent work saw him splitting time between comics and animation, where he wrote or produced such series as 'Justice League Unlimited' and 'Ben 10,' as well as a number of DC's recent direct-to-DVD animated films including the just-released 'All-Star Superman.'"
