Damn, first news I saw. Shocking. RIP.

Wow... I hated the guy's work for the most part, but damn... RIP. That sucks.

I appreciate what he did for comics with Milestone, specifically Static. I did like his animation stuff more than his comics, but damn, it always sucks to see a creator pass.

I thought he was the best writer on the animated Justice League series; he did most of it.
I'll still remember his first for creating Damage Control in the late 1980's, because that's where I first heard his name. No one had ever done a concept like that before.
He was a big, heavyset guy. Could it have been weight related...?

R.I.P. I loved a lot of his work

Word is that he had surgery last night, and there were complications.

SPOILERS!

but in all seriousness that's pretty tragic. Wasn't a fan of his work (well his current stuff), but he was fairly young to go.

i hated the guy as a writer for marvel,DC and animation the only thing i liked about him was that he created static.

what type of surgery was he having?

I don't know about all this stuff about JLA but he did good work for Milestone. Damn he went too early.

R.I.P.

Loved Dwayne, great writer for JLU, Ben 10, and Static Shock. Some of my favorite shows.

This is shocking.

some of these posts seem a little disrespectful, you all have the rights to your own opinions but to voice them here isn't the most couth. I pray Dwayne rest in peace.

it's not disrespectful to criticize his work and dislike him professionally.

Of course it is sad that he died and i am sure their family are suffering but this thread isnt a Sermon or some Funeral eulogy.

it would be disrespectful or rude if we were at church or a family gathering but this is a thread about the man nothing else.

we dont censor ourselves and our opinion just b/c.

I find it hard to understand why a thread about the death of an individual should be used for anything other than to pay respects, another thread could be made to discuss his works. of course if having enough maturity to do so is beyond certain individuals, I'll hold my tongue from now on.

i think its just a case of people who don't want to seem like flip floppers. criticized him in life, wished to reiterate their dislike of his work after his passing

meh.

Oh my god grow up.

You could look at the fact we didn't like his work, but we still payed our respects as its a tragedy

Quiet.

I'm not talking about you. Nor simply about this situation, but making a reference to any regarding deceased people with some influence.

There's no respect in this one:



But at the same time, King Castle wished to stay consistent despite him dying, and I can respect him for it.

aside from that however you view my post is irrelevant are simply projecting.

can some one pls answer my previous question of why he was undergoing surgery and what went wrong

RIP.

No, you didn't.

You started by acknowledging your hate for the vast majority of his work and offhandedly mentioned something you liked. That's fine. But nowhere did I see you respecting him in-spite of apparent dislike or disagreement. No 'R.I.P.', No well wishes to his family, nothing. Casually asking for a follow up on his death doesn't mean anything in either direction.

Again, I don't care. Hence the meh. I was simply explaining to Deadline what I saw.

there was no disrespect intended b/c i did not post RIP or any other similar comment.
it is against my own personal views of death and has nothing to do with me disrespecting the recently deceased..

hell, my family and culture celebrate the dead

if you require a comment acknowledging his current status very well.

"he will be missed by many ppl, may their mourning be brief"

No some comments were quite disrespecful, you can state you didn't like his work without making flippant remarks. You wouldn't like it if somebody close to you died and somebody made flippant remarks would you? Obvoulsy I'm being immature and not considerate.

I didn't really want to say anything but some comments seemed a bit inconsiderate.

Damn, this guy wrote a great Superman. He wrote him power lvl wise spot on.

I'm sorry this has happened, and may he rest in piece.

Also.. (though this is not the place to discuss this) his opinion on Superman, and how he wrote him:

Didn't read the article. How'd he die?

Geesh, that's really too bad... The guy wrote an excellent Firestorm.

edit.
