Calling for Legal Action to be Taken on Nick Simmons for Plagarism
Sign Now
We have come to the attention of mattering recalling one Nicholas Adams Tweed Simmons and his comic book anthology (of 3 released issues) called "Incarnate" released August 1, 2009 by Radical Comics.
Several members of the anime/manga/comic society, including several people who review many issues of comics and manga noticed striking similarities between said work "Incarnate" by Mr. Simmons and several Japanese anime and manga... notably one manga "Bleach" by Tite Kubo a popular manga (comic) released in the United States by Viz Media...
...Notable similarities are not limited to the one work. Other notable similarities include but are not limited to: "Hellsing", "Full Metal Alchemist", "Deadman Wonderland", fan artwork found on the online community DeviantArt (found within Mr. Simmons own DeviantArt page favorites), and original artwork found on the online community DeviantArt (found within Mr. Simmons own DeviantArt page favorites)...
We, the signers of this, feel that legal action need be called to Mr. Nicholas Simmons for his plagiarisms on mentioned works and any works for to be plagarised within his work "Incarnate".

I don't know much about Nick. But someone stealing characters with no consequence is unacceptable among artists. (Even though I think the writes should deal with it).

I do not watch or read Bleach, but I am an appreciator of Anime. And what he did, was completely NOT COOL.

Anyone who blatantly plagerizes and can't come up with their own ideas doesn't need to write or draw comics.

I can't believe that Bleach was plagiarized. It just baffles me that it went this far.

As an artist I find his work to be insulting to myself and other fellow artists. Lacking the creativity to fashion your own idea and drawing upon someone else's work for inspiration is one thing, but to blatantly rip someone off is another. We learn from

I fully support this petition for any artist who has had their work so blatantly plagarized in the public eye.

I'm speechless. I can just say that what Mr. Simmonds did is awful, and he should be ashamed oh himself. I hope justice will be fair and the original work, made from scratch by real artist's heart will prevail.

Nick Simmons should own up to his actions and poor decision in creating his comic using other people's works and calling it his. It's a disgrace to the artist community
