Did you ever get the chance to write for any of the 'Milestone Universe' characters?

Not really.

Dwayne McDuffie asked me several times to write Static. He seemed to think I’d nail it. I think he asked at least four times. But for me, it made no sense to write Virgil when his creator was RIGHT THERE and still at the top of his form. I just couldn’t do it. And now, I think I would be too sad. I still get upset whenever I see his name.

There are better people to do it. I would love to write something in tribute to my friend, hero and mentor Dwayne, but it would be very difficult indeed. Not even sure if I could.
