Bleach/ Incarnate Plagiarism Scandal

[suprtransformation]

Any of you guys here about this yet?? Supposedly, Nick Simmons, son of Gene Simmons, wrote a 3-issue comic book series called Incarnate which bears many similarities to Bleach.

On it's own, that wouldn't be too bad, but then you look closer:

And the resemblance is impossible to ignore. I remember buying the first issue, and thinking it looked very similar, but I thought it might just be an homage of sorts. I never dreamed it went this far.

EDIT: Although, to be fair, one of my first reactions to the first issue was "Kenpachi Zaraki?! What are you doing here?" lol

I saw this youtube video about this.

Wow, if one pose was similar then I wouldn't see too much of a deal but they're pretty much the same. You can see that he started drawing by looking at bleach and didn't think to change his style. By doing that he doomed himself to people comparing and hating him. Study an manga drawing style, don't take it completely.
