Took a nap. Woke up to find Dwayne McDuffie had died. Interviewed him about Deathlok for TwoMorrows years ago; brilliant and nice man. Why?

#DwayneMcDuffie was one of two writers on Deathlok, the first series I edited. No slight to the other guy, but Dwayne was the more…

At least when I knew him, #DwayneMcDuffie was disorganized. His desk was chaos, and he was forever misplacing stuff.

#DwayneMcDuffie had a chemistry background if I recall right. Might have become a scientist but enjoyed making up shit more.

So I interned for #DwayneMcDuffie when I was first starting out at Marvel. First thing to know: he was huge, 6'4" or thereabouts.

Man, all I want today is just to be a better person today. That's all I want. To measure up to Dwayne. #DwayneMcDuffie

I'm really heartsick about Dwayne. Such an unbelievably talented man, and a true guardian of the DC Universe.
