Dwayne McDuffie

Our condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and the many, many other people whose lives he touched in different ways. It's difficult to write anything that can sum up the impact that Dwayne McDuffie had, and how much he'll be missed. I think it's safe to say that the links I've collected below are only a small sample of the outpouring of shock and sadness at his death, and remembrance of his work and life.

In searching for links, I came across a quote from McDuffie which I particularly like:

"Comics themselves aren’t essential. That said, it’s important for fiction to reflect the world we all live in. And while all of us are comfortable identifying with characters of other races, it’s equally important that people to see heroic images of themselves in comics and other media. It creates a powerful sense of validation." - Dwayne McDuffie (via)
