Remembering Dwayne

[Kynn]

Post your memories of Dwayne McDuffie here.

As for the site, I am going to see what can be done about keeping it running.

[Sumo slammer]

I remember the first time he answered one of my questions. I don't remember the question or the answer. But I was excited the writer of the show would take time out of his day to answer my questions.

Same as sumo. He took the time to answer my questions! He also had a convo on Facebook with me (as well as others) once about Doctor Who, The Daleks, Ben 10 & The Highbreed... What a great guy!

He was a fantastic role model. A fantastic writer and most importantly, he was a fantastic human being!

Ben 10, the world of comics and indeed the actual world will not be the same again!

R.I.P Maestro, a very talented and genuinely nice person taken far too soon

I can do that, actually. Trust me on this one -- I set up the site originally, and Dwayne and I were friends.

Maestro was the first comic book writer I chatted with. It all started because I was messing with a JLU article at wikipedia, hahaha. I liked the place he had going on (this was during the hive era) so I stuck around. I learned a lot of awesome things from him, his friends and other followers. It was really awesome to see him reply to large discussions with tons of nonsense with short but sharp and to the point observations.
Dwayne was always a big picture guy. His work was always warm, human, deep yet tidy and really cool. Solid structure always characterized it.
