Incarnate artist plagiarizing manga

  Frederick Linsmeyer • February 24, 2010 • Anime/Manga

Comic book artist Nick Simmons, who is the son of famed Kiss bassist, Gene Simmons, has found himself in hot water after scathing complaints of plagiarism. Simmons’ comic book Incarnate is believed to have taken artwork, ideas, and dialogue from manga such as Bleach, Hellsing, Vampire Hunter D, and NANA.

Viz Media is apparently aware of the situation, as is Bleach mangaka Tite Kubo, who has already commented via Twitter. Simmons has not responded to the accusations.

Comparisons of the artwork can be found on the LiveJournal community, Bleachness.
