Seems like Viz Media and Tite Kubo's publisher is trying to find out how to resolve this issue. I sure hope so ;~;

Nick Simmons, the son of Gene Simmons (from KISS), traced over the artwork of Bleach, Bleach FanArt, and Hellsing, and transferred it over to his own comic, Incarnate.

I don't even know what to say towards this; I've seen a lot of comments, blogs, and some rants about this, and I'm pissed off beyond belief. Its freakin' disappointing, and it's pathetic to think Nick could actually get away with it.

It's one thing to be inspired by Bleach, because, I am inspired by Tite Kubo's artwork, but, I don't go around tracing his work and claiming it as my own.
