His animated adaption of Grant Morrision's All-Star Superman is on sale today and I know he attended the premiere last week. I really, really enjoyed his run on Fantastic Four a few years ago and was able to write to tell him so. He sent a very nice thank you message back.
This is a real loss for superhero fans everywhere.
Wow. I really liked his FF run too. In fact, I liked almost everything he wrote, with the exception of his JLA run (and that wasn't really his fault, IMO).
I wasn't going to buy All-Star Superman this week, but I think I will drop by the store today and get it, and watch it with J-Boy.
Aww jeez. I used to occasionally correspond with him on the DC forums, where he maintained a pretty heavy presence, and was happy to answer pretty much any question the fans asked of him.
A huge loss for the both the animation and comic book worlds.
I'm very sorry to see that. He was way too young. I really enjoyed his Milestone comics. He was an excellent writer who didn't get things to break his way and never got the attention he deserved.I'm going to miss his work.
...FWIW , at least he managed the " I'm a starr !!!!! " James Dean/( I can't think of any other metaphors for fame achieved posthumously now , 'kay ??????? )-ness of getting his death posted as a " Top News " post on Yahoo! News !..." 18 minutes ago " , when I followed the link , that's when Y! said they put it up...He made the headlines...

He was a talented writer that always seemed to be upstaged in one way or another. His FF run was cut short, as well as his promising run on JLA.

A total shock.
I'm very saddened to hear of this loss. My condolences all around.
...He's now on the front page headlines at Yahoo! !!!!!!!!!!! Guess he had some friends there...
Per Y!'s headline people , he was a " pioneering " writer.........
