This makes me unspeakably depressed. Justice League is probably my favorite TV show of all time, period. His stories were brilliant. I'm in the minority here, but I also enjoyed his brief JLA run. He was way too young to pass on and so, SO much brilliance just gone in the blink of an eye.
RIP
Just incredibly sad.

I was impressed that he's done so much with writing and creating. Visually, he doesn't look that old, but I can't find an age anywhere. RIP.

It's stuff like this that makes you appreciate just how quickly things can change.
I was shocked (and pleased) to see this mentioned on Good Morning America's news ticker this morning.

That's really surprising (in a good way). I wonder if the fact that All-Star Superman came out the day he died is what got him the mention.

Also kind-of amazing, it was even trending on Twitter outside the US, which is almost unheard of outside of mainstream people.
