Wow. Check this craziness out (from Nick Simmons Apologizes for 'Homage' - ComicMix news):
"It seems penciler/writer/creator Nick Simmons (you might know his dad, Gene, from the Dr. Pepper commercials...) has paid a little bit to much homage to various Manga series. Covered extensively on Livejournal's 'Bleachness', and reported on by iCv2, the New York Times, as well as Geeks of Doom and numerous others around the web, Simmons' Incarnate has been under the microscope for a little under a week now. The series (only a 3 issue mini-series) shows uncanny similarities between it and the Manga series Bleach, as well as (to a lesser extent) Hellsing."
Talk about taking plagiarism to all new levels. The side-by-side comparisons on Livejournal's 'Bleachness' post are particularly damning. I say we refer to this as "Pulling a Simmons" from now on.
