I just contributed $100. In a sick way, he was a lucky man, in that he didn’t live to see the travesty of this year’s election.

Ta-Nehisi Coates should have some time after his Black Panther run.

There have been reports of a live action Black Lightning show getting made, but I bet if he were alive, there’d be a live action Static show already on the air.

I was born in 92 and caught the nerd bug hard. I grew up watching JL, JLU, Ben 10, & Static Shock. Static was so essential to a young adopted African kid! When I got older & realized the same guy had his hand in some of my face shoes & looked like me? That was a gamechanger.

Marvel Unlimited just added McDuffie’s Damage Control to its back catalog this month, and I am loving it thus far.

Biggest influences: ...the Lee brothers, Spike and Stan

Just imagine if he’d had the chance to work on the DC movie universe. How different would things be with his sense of pacing for ensemble stories was brought to a universe that wanted to establish all the characters quickly?

I maintain that Dwayne McDuffie would have been perfect as the “Kevin Feige” of the DCEU.

Static Shock... one of my favorite cartoons ever. I gotta find me them books.

Dwayne McDuffie really is one of the folks taken from us way way too soon. Death doesn’t normally bother me, particularly of people I don’t know, but his was one that hit me particularly hard. I can just imagine all of the things he’d be doing now with Marvel’s success, and Netflix, and everything else currently…

I have great respect for the man and love his work. His legacy deserves preservation (except for the All-Star Superman movie, didn’t love that one but he just produced it).

I’m still shocked that Keegan Michael Key is his half-brother.

One of the DC animated blurays, unfortunately I forget which, has a documentary about Dwayne McDuffie and Milestone Comics in the special features, in case anyone is interested.

I don’t think there’s ever a time when I won’t get choked up hearing about Dwayne McDuffie. He was just too damn good to go out so young.

I never knew about the Negro Thrashers and now... I’m kinda... disappointed? Like, put those guys in a comic together along with, let’s say Hypno Hustler or some other C-list ex-villain trying to make good... You could do a lot. And the book could mock itself in so many ways. The time is probably right for it too.…

Dang it, E. Can’t be having a brother all choked up at work man... that’s not cool...

He was also the half brother of Keegan-Michael Key. Unfortunately, he passed away before Key found out about it.

I also want to make sure people never forget Dwayne McDuffie’s legacy. I’ll be donating to that foundation when it is set up, even though I’m a broke ass social worker

Evan, outstanding stuff like always. I actually didn’t know that Dwayne McDuffie was behind Ben10; I mainly knew him from Damage Control and Milestone. Always a treat to find out information that enriches your understanding of great creators and artists.

Obligatory reference to McDuffie’s Teenage Negro Ninja Thrashers.
