Nick Simmons-Plagiarist

[Fatt_Matt]

It seems Nick Simmons, Gene Simmons son has been caught plagiarizing a manga, but not any manga.

He decided to copy(read traced) one of the most popular manga in the world-Bleach. For his comic Incarnate which has some rather inconsistent art.

comparison pictures here:

It should be noted that Nick didn't actually draw incarnates cover art, that was a much better artist.

There are also reports that he copied other manga to.

That's incredible. How could he get away with this!? He should be sued to the fullest extent because he's stupid enough that he used, not only the ideas, but completely traced full pages out of dozens of popular manga.
>.<

Reports say he traced at least 5 other manga including hellsing and maybe even more...
What ever happens it won't end well for Nick, at least his career as an artist is over.

They say he even copied fan art... Really..? That's just as low as it gets.
